Hi Everyone, I decided to discontinue posting my swingtrades. I would like to thank everyone for their support. I'm happy that many people checked out the journal. Thanks. I'm happy with the way things worked out. It could have been better and it could have been worse. But all in all, I'm happy. I practiced rock solid discipline throughout the journal. We gotta be disciplined, that's what defines the line. You have to get fear and greed out of your head. You can't trade scared. That also draws the line. Patience is also something that will help keep you on the positive side of the line too. So, let's all stay on the positive side of the line. Let's all try our best to be good traders and good people. The latter is what's it's really all about. If we fumble, that's ok. We're all human. Let's try to learn from it. Let's all continue to learn, therefore we'll grow. And that's what life is all about. When your head hits the pillow each night, it's a good thing to be able to say to yourself, "I did my best". That's all anyone can ask of anyone else. With that, deep inside, your conscious will be clear and the door will be open for good things to happen. And if the "good" things don't seem to be happening, that's ok, cuz you will have the proper perspective to deal with the situation. Wish everyone the best. Good Trading to all, gotta_trade
It's too bad you decided to quit posting as I really enjoyed this journal. Thanks for sharing what you did. If you change your mind or decide to start posting at another date you'll have at least one reader here.
