Am I Forex Geek?

Franky

After spending yet another day next to my monitor forex trading it finally hit me! I suddenly realized that I fall under classic definition of a geek (of course I prefer to call myself a man who highly appreciates modern technology).

1. I own couple of t-shirts that says "Eat. Sleep. Trade." Come to think of it, this is exactly how my day is.

2. I find it difficult to do anything else but trading. I tried watching the replay "Sopranos" the other night and I checked forex charts more then 5 times during 40-minute episode.

3. Whenever my friends invite me somewhere, I don't really want to go. I can't stop wondering what will happen to forex market while I am away!

4. My laptop travels with me to every holiday destination. We sunbathe together on the beach until the sun goes down and there is no more battery left.

5. Don't tell anyone but I secretly wish to have several monitors on my desk (like in matrix!) with charts, graphs and updates running, stats and reports flashing.

6. My primary means of communication (even with my wife) is email. She sometimes sends me email to come down for a dinner.

7. I have a special relationship with my computer. Since I started trading I take a great care of it. After all it is my primary tool for knowledge and income these days.

8. What do I do for fun? Hmmm… write about my trading experiences, discuss it with my fellow traders, read forex books… wow… I am officially a forex nerd!

9. My latest exercise routine is taking my laptop to the park. Even my dog seems to understand trading these days.

10. Lastly, and this is not even related to trading – I love "Lord of the Rings"! I have watched it 5 times and wouldn't mind watching it again, if only I could "disconnect" myself from my computer!

So there, I admitted it. But I still wonder if all forex traders share this common "ground"!
