After watching some of your videos I felt really good. I believe Im a better trader when in the right state of mind.
Psychology AND spirituality are also one key component for profitable trading. Discretionary trading is really a mind game, so the less toxins in your mind, the more positive things you add on it, the better.
I am realising how really lucky I have been to be helped by my coach, and I realise that I will never be able to repay him, nor thank him enough for his goodness. I can really say I got really lucky!
Really interesting discussion about transparency and hiding truth. Best to keep things quiet till THE event! Later on we will be able to shout it LOUD! YEAH !

And if you want perfect safety, resign yourself to low returns.
