The trials and tribulations of working from home

Finally, started to trade today, I have passed my training back in the summer trading the index futures of the mini SP500.

Training went well, traded the simulator near 9k profit in that time, then when I went live turned into a different story!

Market been tanking ever since, volatility was still high despite the trade figure, the initial premarket spike, quickly evaporated in under an hour!

On the whole the interruptions stem from appointments, phone calls, school runs, the bathroom sprung a leak as well today. The most disappointing aspect is the missed opportunities that one waits for, entering the right trade at the right time is very important.

I have learnt, that if you miss it then its missed!
