Trade Like Ants?

Last Monday after I finished my morning meditation session (just a short 10-minutes), I took my towel to head for a shower.

Suddenly I saw a line of ants below the towel hanger, stretching from the sliding door to the balcony.

It was annoying to see the mess first thing in the morning and I thought I will need to clean that up after the shower.

After a quick 5-minutes shower, I wore my spectacle with a wet tissue, ready to sort out the ants issue in my house.

I was puzzled when I am in front of the towel hanger…

The line of ants disappeared!

The only thing left there seemed like a dead body of a fly…

I did not expect the ants be gone in 5 minutes. That’s super quick! And they abandon the “dead body”, which was obviously their food.

I wasn’t sure if the ants noticed me when I grabbed my towel hence they abandon their mission and run for their life.

If they were still there, I would be forced to wipe them out…

Trading Context

Over the past few weeks I have emphasize it is essential to be nimble to trade in the current volatile and bifurcated market…

Just like the ants I encountered!

If they were unwilling to abandon their food, they were likely still there when I was back. And they will be killed…
