Yep, I love the futures, too, Miindie, because the opportunities for trade setups are soooo ubiquitous and abundant, as compared to stocks.
A futures trader can even forecast specific price levels on a futures market chart where the next big opportunity will take place.
The problem, however, is the futures do not broadcast exactly the time of day when the next big opportunity will present itself at that specific price level. A trader not knowing the exact hour creates the problem of the trader not being available to trade that opportunity.
For me, the opportunities happen when I am asleep at night or just when I get that phone call that I must respond to in my daily grind of a job, or an opportunity will happen just when I need to go relieve “nature”, all resulting in missed opportunities.
It’s kinda like whale watching, and untimely having your attention diverted by something, just when the whale appears….LOL.
It’s kinda like waiting a long time for the next bus to arrive at the station, but me arriving too late at the station and missing that bus, then having to wait a long time for the next bus to arrive — grrrrrr.
Yep, the are many reasons to cultivate both patience and ability to fight the FOMO… I feel your pain, Mindie.
