It’s all about timing

Whether it’s beach walks or options trades, the “when” is as important as the “what”

For the last few weeks, I’ve had a friend staying at my house as he gets settled in the United States.

He’s moving over here full-time from Germany, and I get to be his halfway house as he gets his bearings and gets established in the U.S. 

On Saturday evening, I was planning to host a little get together for him and some other folks as a “welcome to America” party. But as we were sitting around with some time to kill on Saturday afternoon, my German friend made what struck me as an absurd suggestion:

“Why don’t we go on a beach walk?” 

Now, you might need some context here…

I love the beach. It’s beautiful. It’s relaxing. You can walk on it for miles. 

I love the ocean. I love shorebirds. I love it all. It’s a great time.

But this was a Saturday in June in Florida during the exact middle of the day. The high temperature for the day was 94 degrees, and that’s just the “official” temperature.

I don’t know what the heat index was and, frankly, I’m too afraid to look. 

So as I sat there on Saturday in my cool, air-conditioned house, the last thing in the world I wanted to do was go out into the scorching hot sun and walk along the beach during the middle of the day.
 

There’s a time and a place for everything.

Do you ever wonder why your trading doesn’t work out? 

Timing could be the issue.

The market has a rhythm — not to mention an actual calendar —that can operate below the detection of the naked eye.

Major events like economic news, earnings dates, Fed meetings, and more can destroy your trades if you aren’t prepared.

And that doesn’t even account for unpredictable nuclear events, like we talked about with TSLA and DJT last week.

Timing your trades is critical.

Just like there’s a big difference in comfort between walking along the beach in the early morning/evening and walking on the beach at high noon…

There can be a huge difference between placing a trade right at the opening bell and placing a trade a few hours later, when the markets have settled down.

Time also plays an important role in options trading.

Any time you place an options trade, you’re racing the clock. Picking the right expiration date is a crucial part of winning your trade.

So whether you’re saying something as innocent as “we should go on a beach walk,” or whether you’re saying “I want to trade AAPL today,” you need to think about the timing of it all.

Otherwise, you could be cooked — literally or metaphorically.

For what it’s worth, we did end up going on the beach walk and, despite the heat, it was beautiful (although we weren’t out there very long… wonder why… 🤔)

Sometimes, the right decision at the wrong time can still work out for you.

But you shouldn’t plan on that. 

Take a beat, think about your timing, and you’ll be a better trader as a result.

To your prosperity,
