In a small apartment on the outskirts of the city lived trader Marco. His days passed among charts, candles, and numbers flashing on the screen like stars in the night sky. The only one who paid no attention to the markets was the cat Sirkо — a fluffy philosopher with the gaze of someone who had seen everything.
Every morning, Marco opened the terminal, and Sirkо jumped onto the desk and sat next to him, attentively watching the screen. When Marco got nervous and reached to change a trade at the last moment, the cat gently pawed his arm as if to say: “Don’t rush.” But when the day was successful, Sirkо purred so loudly that it seemed like the best reward rather than profit.
One day, Marco broke the rules — he let emotions take over and quickly lost part of his deposit. He lowered his head, and Sirkо silently laid on the keyboard, covering the chart. At that moment, Marco realized: the market doesn’t need fuss; it loves calm.
From that day on, Marco traded with a cool head, and Sirkо became his talisman. Because sometimes the best trader in the room is a cat who knows when it’s better to do nothing and sleep, sleep, sleep. 🐈
