Over the past couple of years we’ve had some incredible day trading travelling experiences. Everything from trading at the base of a live volcano in Costa Rica, to having a “pro trader pow-wow” in the heart of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Our next stop is going to take us all over the east coast of Australia…
The Mission – Maintain a high level of trading performance while trading at 2:00 am Australia time
Focus, discipline, and patience. These are all behavioral habits professional traders have ingrained into their psyche. For a lot of us, focus means being awake and fully present to watch the market. So, one would think that trading at night would have a negative effect on their trading results. However, the Emini Academy has many student traders from all over Australia. And many of them have told me that the time difference is only an issue for a short period of time.
The Plan of Action – Get comfortable with the time change, then execute regular S&P 500 emini trades
We’re flying into Sydney, Australia on November 12th at approximately 8:00 am local time. From my past experiences with travelling to the other side of the world, it takes 2 – 3 days to become completely comfortable with the time change. So, the first few days in Syndey we’re going to take it easy on Bondi Beach.
After our short stent in Sydney, we’re staying in beach side condos on the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. This will give us the quiet environment we need to focus on the market. I plan on hosting a few of our live trading classes and comparing my performance to how I usually do when I’m in the states.
This should be interesting…
To finish off the trip, we’re going to be cage diving with some great white sharks! We decided it would be best to save this for the end of the trip just in case anything goes wrong. ;-)
I have plans to meet up with traders in Sydney, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Melbourne, and Port Lincoln. If anyone else would like to join us, feel free to shoot me an email at chris (at) eminiacademy (dot) com. I’d love to meet up with you! Also, please let me know if you have any recommendations about things that could help our trading journey be a memorable one!
Stay frosty,
Chris
