Actually, thats exactly how i do my business, just in bigger numbers..... That keeps it fresh and challenging....
I have to ask: how do you feel about your trades that turn into losses? and how do you deal with them during , AND after. I am sure you must have some losses. And if you are trading big, these must be big as well, no?
Boredom is such a perspective. For as capable as most people are they sure are lazy. Once I'm free, I will do whatever, whenever with whoever. I can think of 1,000 things I'd rather do with my time than work. Work out, read, draw, eat at a new place, travel, play a game, make new friends, go chill outside, hang with friends, etc.... So many posts on this thread are dead on. I work in medicine right now and I'm so tired of all the stress, BS, idiocy and politics. I can't imagine why anyone would choose this... Of course it depends on your line of work, but the corporate world is not for me. I've realized this and I've been in the work force for 2 years and luckily I'm only 24. In order to win you have to learn how to play the game. I'm astounded by this, the amount of ignorance out there is incredible.
1.) Buy a superbike (Ducati, MV Agusta, BMW) and ride during lunch or when your tan from your screens is getting intense 2.) Buy Parkzone Ultramicros at www.parkzone.com 3.) Learn a concerto on the piano 4.) Golf
Btw, I moved to Manhattan with under 8k in my brokerage account and fought to survive. One can't even day trade stocks with 8k! I ended up getting a loan and was fine.
IMHO, speculation is the mother of all evil, not leverage. Everything we do is leverage, from driving a car to riding a billion horsepower to the moon.
Yes, of course i have losses, every trader have losses !!! And of course they are big in money, but they are small in % in the context to my trading capital and profit % and riskmanagment %. Know what i mean ? How i deal with my losses ? I hate them !!! HATE, HATE, HATE !!! I analyse them, what was wrong, and try to make it better and of course make my lost money back, ....step by step....!!! Having a cool head and learning from my decisions..... When i do everything correct, i dont make a loss.... But i am not a robot, and, therefore i also make losses... Thats no problem, i have this accepted a long time ago....that it is a part of the business...only i you can accept your mistakes, you can learn from it, and go on to the next step/trade and make it better... Thats the beautiful thing about this business, you can always start fresh and make it better, than before, with every new day, new week, new month, new year.....!!!! Thats the beautiful thing !!! Your mistakes will not hunt you forever !!!
