A while back I was interviewed by a reporter for SFO Magazine on the subject of part-time trading. This is a subject somewhat near and dear to my heart. Despite the fact that I have long been a professional analyst focused on the intraday movements of the markets (or maybe because of the fact), in the case of my own trading I have mainly taken a more part-time approach.
I’ve never been all that keen on being a full-time trader and having to be constantly focused on my positions. On top of that, over the years I haven’t generally had the consistent ability to do something like that because of the sort of schedule I had on a day-to-day basis. In other words I have often been restricted to part-time trading. That’s fine with me, though. It’s less work and way less stress. 
Anyway, getting back to the interview, I’d forgotten about it until I saw a reference to it on another blog. I was quoted fairly regularly throughout the piece. Brett Steenbarger was also interviewed, though I didn’t know that until reading it myself.
