A little more than a year and a half, grinding it out daytrading. Have been faced with learning a lot about myself in that time period. A whole lot.
"Striving to stay somewhere between pulling corn and digging potatos" simply put for me, means not getting too high or too low, emotionally. When I first started trading I ended each day exhausted from emotion. Well it stands to reason that a man can become consumed with fear, when the reality hits him that he has jumped into something with both feet, not knowing what the heck he is doing.
No, the 100K I lost before I figured out how to trade. Hell the 800 bucks was CHEAP compared to that!
You mean that goes away after awhile? If I could just move some euphoria from the good days to counteract the nausea from the bad days...
