Hello!

Once I get going on a backtest I tend to get caught up in it. The 2-3 hours of backtesting I can handle daily represent an attention-demanding task that wears on my brain. It burns to the extent that I usually spend the balance doing more passive tasks like watching webinars or reading. Blogging—another concentration-intensive task—tends to get pushed aside.
Once the backtest is over I sometimes experience a complete loss of motivation. This describes the last couple weeks, which were punctuated by my seventh marathon. After the backtest is done I can finally proceed with the data analysis. This makes it somewhat inconvenient that my brain wants to take a vacation.
It is what it is.
I have now finished my second butterfly backtest. This time I looked at a classic butterfly. Data analysis is imminent.
Starting with today’s brief post, I will consolidate efforts to get back into the blogging groove.
I’m starting to feel butterflies!
