I came across an article regarding burn-out which caught me a bit off guard. After reading it, the author’s points made very reasonable sense, but I had never considered how burn-out could be a good thing. Bringing this into the world of day trading, I think there is much that could be useful. The article is based around someone who has hired 100’s of people for management positions, meaning, she has interviewed 1,000’s of people. She has learned to ask several questions that reveal important characteristics about a person being considered for a management role. These characteristics can (and should) certainly be applied to us as traders. If you are struggling or just can’t quite get over the hump, perhaps asking yourself these questions will be the solution you need. Let’s talk burn-out!
