When a trader decides to make homemade spicy Jollof rice with peppered chicken

Hi Fairman,
thank you for sharing, it looks good

Today i had at lunch pasta with vegetables and eggs.
And for dinner mozarella vegetable salate.

homemade spicy Jollof rice with peppered chicken

That looks properly dangerous in the best way — proper heat, not food-blog mild.

I’m usually on something simpler between London open and the overlap: leftover roast chicken, rice, nothing that needs a sauce reduction while EURUSD is deciding whether to fake the Asian high. Cooking that ambitious mid-session is a different personality type.

Small serious note under the banter: meal timing matters more than people admit for discretionary scalpers. Heavy + spicy right before a high-vol window leaves you sluggish exactly when you need clean pattern recognition. I eat light before the open, proper meal after the morning book is flat.

Recipe curiosity though — oven peppered chicken or pan? And do you batch it Sunday for the week, or is this a post-session celebration plate?

Food is part of the shutdown, oddly enough

Thread is light, so a practical note: what I eat after the Frankfurt session is less about cuisine flex and more about not trading hungry or sugar-crashing into the overlap. Spicy rice and proper protein beats desk snacks that keep me wired and near the mouse.

Rule I actually keep: no new discretionary tickets after I have started the evening meal prep. Kitchen means session closed. If I catch myself checking M1 while stirring a pot, that is a process tag the next morning.

Fuel and off-ramps sound soft until you notice how many revenge trades sit next to skipped lunch.

Hydration and a real meal also reduce the late-session tilt I used to blame on “the market.” Physiology is not separate from risk management when you click for a living.

Do you have a hard “food started = platform closed” line, or does dinner still compete with the New York open on your calendar?
