Getting my act together

Just a end of year followup to this thread. I gave up trading when I realized I couldn't increase my position size as I made more money. I just made myself sick worrying over each trade as the size increased.

I got trained as a truck driver and now have a job making about 60k/year. With my wife working, I hope to paydown my debts and get back to trading without all the stress in a few years.

Take care and good luck to all who dare to try and make it in this industry.

 

Best wishes for 2008 gutsy!

 

Sincere good luck to you.

Best wishes gutsy. You really did well. Family first always!

 

Good luck with everything gutsytrader, if there's anyone I wish good fortune for the future here on the board then it's you!

 

That is what I call extreme scalping. 2K profit almost 1K in fees. WOW!

 

Thanks for a great read gutsytrader. I just read this thread from front to back today. Good luck to you. A little thought from Henry David Thoreau

That is one of my all time favorites. Godspeed.

 

how about just keep the position size fixed and maintain it as a steady second source of income. Now we have 2 truck drivers as trader, welcome back.

 

why do we look at vix? thanks.

 

Anyone? Also what does he mean market trading normally? Thanks. I wish gutsy is still here.
