Shakes many with the wind, or sit quietly, because of the monitors, some ears stick out. Come, disassemble, what's going on there. But the market is closing, and it becomes clear, who is who. Of the other types of human activity, I would single out the following, roughly comparable to that, what a trader does: playing chess or cards (especially poker), tightrope walking over an abyss, peekaboo, attempts to prove to the whole world, what are you cool (or not an idiot), participation in Spanish bullfighting without preparation, learning chinese, sex with your worst enemy (when by agreement, when without). Целая гамма ощущений-состояний сопровождает трейдера каждый рабочий день.
