I had an epiphany today.

time-versus-money-weighted

I took a bit of a loss in my trading account today, a few thousand quid.

And it made me rethink my life a bit.

I’m actually glad I took the loss.

I’m glad I got greedy and over-traded and lost big.

 

It made me realise that I should just leave my trading to my robots.

Even if they make slightly less money than if I traded manually,

It would free up my time dramatically.

And since time is the most valuable asset we have,

That’s worth it.

 

It made me realise that time is more important than money.

That money doesn’t get happiness,

But rather, getting experiences and doing interesting things.

 

Which brings me to the robots.

They often trade more consistently than I do.

Because they follow my trading rules perfectly.

They don’t get greedy.

They don’t overtrade.

 

I worked out that I probably spend around 6 hours per day looking at charts.

If I just left it to my trading robots and alert systems, that would probably go down to 1 hour per day.

Which means I would save 5 hours every day.

 

If I did that for the next 3 years,

That would be 5 x 260 x 3 = 3900 hours.

Which is 160 days!

 

Ridiculous, I know.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with all that free time 🙂
