Do you enjoy making something with your hands, hanging out with friends, or sports?
I enjoy sports, mainly badminton and cycling.
And sports can get quite addictive.
So much so that I’d gone for a cycling race last week in Batam!
In my mind, I was prepared to cycle uphill because I’d heard that Batam is hilly.
But the terrain turned out to be much tougher!
As I cycled uphill and down, I was constantly thinking about my life decisions.
And trading.
Huh? How is trading related to cycling uphill and downhill?
The stock market isn’t always trending higher or flat.
It moves in waves: up, down, and sideways at times.
We, traders, must think likewise and follow the market.
