She just worries that the stress can burn me up but otherwise, she minds her business unless I share developments with her.
good point. for me a balanced trading system is something like a balanced life. My wife knows everything about my trades, even she has access to all my accounts if something happens with me... soon I will start teaching my children... in few years FX will be a family business...
