    I do recall the DD commercial.

    I am a relentless fighter...I'm not here for thrills either, just trying to learn how to lose, so I can win.

    I'm ready for the next day.

    Thanks for the advice

    I started this journal in 2008.
    16 years since.
    After losing my account balance a handful of times, or more.
    I have finally been able to successfully manage RISK.
    I re-funded my account May 1st of this year.
    I am up $84k on a $154k starting point.
    Following the basic rules & concepts you can read anywhere:
    • Don't Risk more than 1-2% on a given trade
    • Winning trades need to be 2-3x or more, higher than Losers
    • Don't get attached to any position, if it is losing money, cut it
    Understanding the Risk of a trade on my entire account has helped me stay in winning trades longer (I know what the worst thing that can happen is a -1% loss, so let's let this winner run a little more...)

    I'm grateful to be trading and humbled by the market and all of its challenges.
