A lot of traders say they don’t have time to work on their trading.
I used to think this was a problem to try to overcome.
But for traders in a certain situation, this is a strong predictor of future success.
Why?
For most traders, the hard part is coming up with ideas to work on.
Thinking of ideas that will have a profitable edge.
If your biggest problem, though, is not having enough time to work on your existing ideas, that’s a great sign.
That means you have more profitable ideas than time to work on them.
And that is a problem you can solve.
And it’s much easier than coming up with ideas in the first place.
Tolstoy had thirteen kids when he wrote War and Peace.
He knew he had a good idea, so he solved his “I don’t have time” problem.
Focus on the profitable ideas, and I guarantee you’ll find the time.
