RN, I like trading a lot.. I definitely overtrade.. no patience.. eventhough I know it's not a great setup, I still trade it.. I don't know why I do this..
M22, Not comparing us, just giving you something to ponder I trade â to make moneyâ¦. (always been that wayâ¦, itâll always be that way â period) To that end â if whatever Iâm doing isnât making me money â I drop it For as long as I've been trading - being impatient has never made me a dime - but it has cost me - and does every time So I dropped it⦠and I changed RN
Off to play round 3. Coming into moving day with a 12 stroke lead. Good position to be in, but I need to stay focused because a blow up round puts my buddy back in this. I will post a picture of the towel and winning scotch bottle if I get it. Later today , probably a short a nap and more market study. Anyone else find looking at and studying markets more fun than any other activity? For RN - I will consider the next 4 hours + 1 for a nap my market off time.
Major adjustment - so this is a big deal. I was asked about a year ago by a friend (rn)who reads and writes on this thread a question. He was helping me design a trading plan. The question was "what do you want in regards to being a trader" . I stated what I thought was what I wanted but it wasn't. I said " I want to be a profitable trader that is disciplined and follows a system". What I now realize is that for the last 8 years I have been searching for a static trading model with out a care or concern for how and why my trading was or wasn't working. That's like running a business and not know why you are actually making or losing money. Then when it works you are happy but when it doesn't you don't know why. I would like to change what I want because now I know what I want. So.... Rn to rephrase my original answer. -- I want to learn to be a profitable trader by running my trading business in a dynamic atmosphere that adjusts to that atmosphere. The atmosphere being the market. I want to be profitable but most importantly I want an understaning of how and why the market works and therefor allowing me to make decisions based on what is happening and why it is happening. These decisions are detail oriented, disciplined and patient . --
