The Daily Grind

by Louis Javier

Rising early, before the sun,

My day begins, the grind’s begun.

Pre-market setup, checking charts,

Analyzing trends and playing smart.

The trading sessions, they unfold,

With ups and downs, the story’s told.

The market’s fickle, hard to read,

But with experience, I succeed.

Post-trade reflection, I take time,

To learn and grow, to find my prime.

I note my wins, I mark my loss,

I learn from both, and bear no cross.

Outside market hours, I rest,

For tomorrow’s test, I’ll be my best.

To recharge, to sleep, to play,

For balance keeps me in the fray.

Throughout the day, I work and strive,

To be my best and stay alive.

For trading’s tough, but it’s my choice,

To navigate the market’s voice.

So come what may, I’ll give my all,

To rise above and stand tall.

For in the end, what counts the most,

Is how we rise, when we’re engrossed.
