Do nothing, more often.

In markets, we have millions if not billions of bits of information influencing us every second.

We have what's going on in front of us on screens, even to the minutiae of how cold the room you're in is.

Why is it that so many long to rest and relax usually, but when it comes to trading, many feel they need to be in the market to get something out of it?

There is no way that you can be digesting so much information constantly and still come out with the right decisions.

So what do we do?

We wait - we stand still and just listen for as perfect a moment as possible.

I like to call it the 'beachball' effect.

If you've ever played cricket or baseball, it's when you can see that fast moving ball as large as a beachball.

Things slow down, and you have clarity.

We are looking for that moment as much as possible.

So do nothing, more often.
