Kurt, anything to report? Did you score that dinner at Olive Garden yet?
The Tour of Italy is the best item on the Olive Garden's menu.
As I type this, I am sitting here, next to my love.
She says, "I literally feel like I'm going to burst. It's as if I'm a balloon of happiness. It feels so good and refreshing. Everything I experience in this world, I want to do with 'ksmetana' by my side. I am so in love with him."
Needless to say, I got the girl. We are madly in love. Patience and persistence paid off. A love story documented via a trading journal.
As for trading, I still have not taken the Series 56. I will soon enough, but right now I am enjoying my free time, enjoying the time I spend with my darling, and getting lots of rest. It feels good to be able to go out with friends rather than go to sleep so that I can wake up at 4:30 am every day.
I have come to realize the daily price grind is not for me. I want to trade the markets, not minor fluctuations in stock price.
True money is being made via automated trading and 2-4 day discretionary holds.
My firm is holding my seat for me, I will return to the markets in January, so that I can fully enjoy the holidays with the love of my life.

agree with this. but those books arent a bad place to start for anyone, and encourage the idea of talking to as many girls as possible to get comfortable. also to your point, believe one of the conclusions in The Game was that the author realized it was more about his lifestyle (which included being happy) that was great for him as well as attactive to females.
kurt congrats.
Wow this line of thought goes perfect with trading. Where the methods (strategies/edges) he used were only mostly good for him, Sure other people got girls or (made money) off his methods, but you really jusst have to do whats best for you learn to trade and pick up girls on your own.
Honestly trading and girls are almost identical. Everyone has slumps, or periods were they don't make money (or get laid), sometimes the best way to get a girl ( or make money) is to stop thinking and just do, And getting girls/making money ALWAYS feels good. This leads us to be greedy which usually destroys our accounts, and our relationships with our partners.
Fun analogy

I agree, the pursuit of women and trading have many parallels. Then again, trading can be applied to most aspects of life. I think I have spoken about it a lot throughout my journal.

Oh so true. If you are disciplined and live a healthy life outside of trading that will carry over to trading. A good nights rest, a healthy diet, exercise, and perhaps a hightened level of spirituality will rub off on your trading. Also, having the support of a loved one is tremendously important. Kudos for being able to accomplish that.
