“It is important on a daily basis, to be a good trader, to be able to switch off. If you’re struggling on the floor, the other traders will zero-in. They don’t do it intentionally, just subconsciously. You just think they are trading against you because you’re going through a bad time. You also need to switch off to give your mind a rest. I think that makes for a better trader. Even the Bothams (Babe Ruth) and Richards (Joe Di Maggio) didn’t play or think about cricket (baseball) all the time.”
