Jan Update RED Month Definitely not how I wanted to start the year. Main error was pushing risk too much, doing things that were outside of what I know to be successful. Feb, back to the basics of what I know. My own build back better plan. Truck on.
Feb Update RED Month Traded very little in February. Very minor loss. I'm stepping back some due to headline risk. The good thing is that I don't need to always be super active in the market. May March prove fruitful.
March Update Green Month A very modest month, but green nonetheless. Only towards the end of the month I started to get more active. Am exploring another platform as I paid a boatload of fees last year. My goal is to generate consistency over the long term. Part of that requires a great deal of selectivity and patience. I'm much better pre-market and after hours. Normal hours I tend to get chopped up. Q1 has brought forth many lessons. Quite a bit of health issues also, which most are now handled and a renewed determination to make health a priority. When you got things going on, your concentration goes out the window and quality of life deteriorates. Q2 just looking for that consistency more than anything, building those skills my way. For those reading this, I wish you great success.
I've decided to put the nail in the coffin. This is the end of this journal. 2 years dedicated towards monthly updates. It has been quite the ride. And it is time to say good-bye. I had to look at the overall picture. The option will always be there to be a market participant. I will be during extreme volatility periods...because I thrive then. But trading is not a passion...and has been more of a method to generate income (stressfully). I know at any time, I can. And it comes at a price. I've unsubscribed from all my paid services (well over 2k USD/year). I wish you success. May it provide excitement and adventure in your life. And if not, pursue what does.
