Exercised this morning, ate a good breakfast, got in front of my screen on time, made about 80 trades, fought hard to keep my gains and avoid losses.. and finished the day up $13. Sigh. All that time, and what did I get out of it? "Don't get frustrated, and don't get emotional is what my friend always tells me." Not so easy!
If you are in trading as a career you got a lot out of it, it's a journey and not a destination. #1 rule of trading is preservation of capital and you got paid $13 for the education to boot. However if you are in this to get rich quick then given that in some areas of the country minimum wage is $15/ hr, you completely wasted your time....
You mentioned in a previous post reply you're a bible, or religious, man. This trading world is evil ...the sheep will get slaughtered. -- Rethink your approach.
This is not true. Traders saved Joseph's life! They pulled him out of a well, into which he had been thrown and left to die. See Genesis 37.
