People say trading has a low barrier to entry. well not completely true : profitable trading has a very high barrier to entry.lol. I am glad I was informed early on, of the necessity of these 10,000hrs of screen-time first ( not excel spreadsheet time, ...) as it was all about becoming a discretionary daytrader. This is where many might give up. The 10k hrs of screen-time is just one entry barrier. Now, if one gets distracted and waste time, the 10k hrs will not be done. This is where it is good to be a real gullibile, or extremely naive . cynics people will find theories/reasons/escuses why not put the screen-time. Then one barrier is obviously psychology/spirituality. This is the second major barrier : a good batch of daytrading survivors then get eliminated here. And to be honest, I can understand why. The idea of seeing a psy was before really uncomfortable. Ok a life coach, a coach, ... but a psy????!!!! and Clinical psy to be precise! Don't these people deal with ... But then one has to chose : a clinical psy or stalling... I chose the clinical psy , and really tried quiet a few of them.lol. This is where "intelligent" people might have an advantage : much easier to make the most of these people expertise. I am now understanding where "idiots" have the advantage : if one is idiot enough, one does not bother about silly things. So no real psy issues. Discretionary daytrading looks like a horse race with obstacles : barrier1, barrier2, ... and trader(horse) fell off at barrier1, and one more eliminated! Now, we have 20% of traders ( horses) left. Then the next barrier is to make it sustainable - because let's be honest trading is not rocket science and the tasks are super repetitive. I wonder if that's why some feel that the longer they have been trading, the less skills they have for anything else. Well, actually, I'll agree that trading makes one basically unemployable with a lot of money. But this is fine by me, as I never really held down a job - the few formal gigs I took were more about solving an "impossible" problem aka I was super-excited about the challenge and be well paid for bringing a solution. Just for the record, I always over-delivered . But trading is different : at each stage, there is something because it is about personal development.
One more week of prep , before returning to my place and trade for just 10 trading days. I am realising that I really came from far. I wish that from my first day into trading, I had enlisted a psy and coach. Would have saved me a lot of aggravations. Actually just the psy from day1. At least my mistake has been relatively cheap.
I am realising that I am spending more time preparing than clicking buy/sell button. I am just now really looking forward to these 10 days of trading. And we are also during these 10 days including as test some additional lifestyle changes/improvements. So far we have the sport, diet, meditations. We'll be adding the daily sea swimming. The coach is getting more and more creative. I think he just enjoys testing things on me. He knows I will just do it.lol.
when the mind is right, all seems to work fine. A lot of admin this week, so mostly prep prep prep for trading.
It feels like ages I have had a quiet - though very full day! Many mistakes I could have avoided, at least the helper was very patient. It feels good. When I think few years ago, I would have been complaining of boredom, of not "excitement", etc... Gosh, I love this quietness and sense of peace. lol. Just doing this prep really is firing me up. Next week, I just want it to move : come and smash one price, and take it down when small people are long. And bring it to new highs when little people are all selling. But then, it is not just the small people who can get smashed. 10 000 lots people do get smashed during news. Actually this is where little sizes have can have a huge advantage. fuck; 10 000 lots on the DAX! no wonder the pubs were full of the story. How stupid that was. This trading is really like a game : the key is to take the low hanging fruits, the easy trades. Prep is all about finding these safe trades. And then after a win, go direct into prep prep prep to avoid over-confidence.
Few more days on these admin activities. The good thing about these few last days, I have now started taking responability about everything. I think, if 5 months ago, the coach had told me I was fully responsible of everything, I would seriously have had reservations about the methods. But this morning I started to see things better.
