rock bottem for me: the endless revolutions of the mind the illusions of causality, free will, existence, and time tossing gains, holding losses taking profits â the grand mother of all losses the opportunity costs speculating scared without sufficient risk capital losing your money then losing your nerve vast schism between belief and action youth and vitality wasted and funds depleted endless regret
Sid, sounds you like have paid the price of admission! This is good, not bad. From here you can truly learn to trade responsibly and follow system discipline. Traders who stick around find immense growth and character building outside of trading. I take a break and read "Trading for a Living" and "The New Stock Market Wizards" when I hit psychological walls. I took a 10 mile walk into the everglades the other day to regain perspective. I use a trading journal to document my trades as well as my mental state on a daily basis. Trading is a mind/body/spirit eco-challenge and will make or break you.
long long before you ever get there quit and do something else, like go sailing, go to orgies or rob a bank.....
sid I was wondering what your other post was. (2 out of 3 were on this post) then I did some research... You probably should try sailing or orgies, as andrasnm suggested...
