Went in Thursday morning last week, came out Monday afternoon. Op went very well but both my wrists became infected by cannulas and from this nasty shit called pantoprazole which they were dripping in. Also caught a head cold and not much sleep. Feeling much better today. In 3 months they'll inspect the results via endoscopy which is how they removed the cancer.
Congratulations on the successful operation. Since it was done via endoscopy, the cancer was caught at an early stage.
Yes, the surgeon said the op went "flawlessly". He showed me a photo on his mobile (and I dang forgot to ask for a copy) he sliced a 40mm long piece out, the cancerous bit was ~5mm but he went wide and deeper to ensure he had it all. I have no pain.
That is awesome, glad you came out of your cancer surgery with all good news. You still have one problem... You live in Australia, where everything else tried to kill you as well. Cancer must seem easy compared to this shit...
The loss always affects a trader no matter if it’s big or small. That is why you should never invest the amount of money in trading that is needed for your living expenses.
Everybody is presented to some kind of risk each day – regardless of whether it's from driving, strolling down the road, contributing, capital arranging, or something different. A financial backer's character, way of life, and age are a portion of the top components to consider for individual speculation the board and risk purposes. So, I think risk in Forex trading is a situation involving exposure to wins or losses.
When I was learning to trade, there was hardly any lesson that didn’t tell me how risky trading is going to be. Every word proved to be correct after I went live. In financial markets, there is no money without risks. If you want to keep moving and make money, you will have to take risks.
There are risks regarding any kind of business, especially financial trading. Risks management is always rewarding. The 4 kind of risks that I see: - Risk of the trade, the obvious one. - Risk of an expected event: Earnings, economic announcements, war (most of the time), ... - Unexpected risks: Power failure, Internet failure, broker system crash, flash crash, panic like 1987, ... - Risk of not knowing and lessening to ourselves (doing the same think over and over and expecting a different outcome or doing different things everyday trying to find the holy secret) Some events can be expected or unexpected, like governments decisions, Central banks decisions, geopolitical events, civilian wars etc. I you trade long enough, you will encounter all kind of risks. Most of the time, unexpected risks are called "black swan", "market randomness", or "silent risks". Unfortunately, most of us will not even take all of them into consideration, before something really bad happens. I am no exception and if I think "risks first" now, well, it is because something really bad happened to me years ago, when trading. Retail traders or "small players" have an unique opportunity to manage risks by limiting exposure. Most of the time, they do just the opposite, overtrading, huge leverage, trying to copycat the big players with "diversification".. They will learn all the good stuff like, keep your stops tight, if you invest long term nothing matters as the market rewards the patients, black swans are part of life, markets are efficient, what we don't understand is just noise, the FED is our friend, October is the worst month, a good money management is key to profits, etc. Of course, so many think learning the traditional way (academia style) as much as possible is how a trader will succeed. IMO, they should ask themselves why teachers are not rich trading? On a positive note, opportunities often come from risks. Best!
