Sometimes Patience is the most Difficult thing to Learn

(from Forex Trading Beginner)

I haven't traded in about a week, due to economic announcements and religious holidays in just about all of my favorite currencies.

I know the smartest thing to do, as a small-time trader, is to sit and wait, but it is intensely difficult to do...

Some weeks are amazing, with fabulous opportunities - in fact, I resent myself because I have to do things like sleep when I know that magnificent trading opportunities will abound...

Then, there are weeks like this. Wait. Watch. Sit it out while the announcements roll out, watch the market reaction with interest.
