With respect to the money in the refrigerator, it seems that professional thieves are the only ones who look in odd places like that. So it's popular to stash money in odd places. Perhaps that's a trick that is somewhat universal, although I do not use it myself. I'd forget where I put it, frankly. I show a shift from incurring early good trades with not so good late day trades to the opposite now Perhaps you are staying up later, changing your mental schedule somehow. Becoming more fatigued in the morning and coming out of it in the afternoon? Perhaps the Winter has made you a bit groggy in the morning.....could be anything. Could even just be chance. My patterns have shifted as well. I keep spreadsheets on them. This year I've made 35 Friday daytrades and have 30 winners, 85.71%. Somehow it's become the most profitable day of the week. Friday mornings have the bulk of the trading, with a record of 23 for 25 in the morning. My worst day is Thursday now. So maybe what happens is that after a rotten Thursday I get pumped up for Friday, I don't know. But one thing is certain, I've been trading much lighter on Thursdays since noting that. So I don't know why my patterns have shifted either, but I handle it by just adapting to it. Today I'm going to take a couple of early trades, and if the day is not smooth I'll find something else to do.
