    Only work hard when you are certain you are working smart. Test and take measurements along the way to ensure you are continuing to work smart ... and that the path is still valid.
    Validating the results of hard work, in increments, turns "hard" into "rewarding" ... and can make all the difference in achieving your goals, instead of burning out.

    If "hard" work doesn't validate into "rewarding" work ... you may be on the wrong path. And unfortunately, you may have to get good at this long before all the profit$ show up :cool:

    just a possibility you could get trampled if you are not careful.

    the trick is to run with the elephant but at the same time avoid becoming it's next meal.

    funnily enough....those who work hard are paid the least,those who can manage risk are paid a lot more but the one who is paid the most is the one WHO TAKES DECISIONS.

    profitable
    trading is the art of taking decisions the correct ones

  7. So.....I used to work on 40 foot ladders all day. Pressing buttons isn't hard. However, keeping your shit together is.

    I am such a small mouse that he will have problems to find me. And while trying to find me he might miss big money trading. So it is not good for his financial health.

    Oliver Valez is a strange name for an elephant.:wtf:

  9. The most important thing is to do what you are comfortable with, you can learn 24 hours ans get nothing if it doesn't feel right. There for to put less time in the setup that you understand is better then put more time in something you don't connect to. I went through that also, was lost in all the information until I found Bookmap which gives me the clarity I need.

    What about Bookmap gives you a decisive edge that's not available elsewhere ?
