I missed out on taking a signal this morning, simply because I'd forgotten one of my trading systems that I had recently developed. This was due to me taking two weeks off over Christmas and becoming disconnected with trading. That mistake cost me $300 in lost profit today. Very expensive.
Sitting out of the market for an extended time might cause a trader to become rusty. If you do decide to take time off, try to maintain the same trading routine, but without actually taking the trade. You want to remain as sharp as possible, so when you do return to live trading, nothing has changed.
