I would disagree. My trading results were HORRIBLE! Probably akin to the bottom 1%. Now in 2020, I regularly make 4 figure days, which from cursory observation would probably place me in the top 1% of daytraders. Of course, I have the occasionally big losses but I recover each time. I'm trading at a level I can only dream of years ago. I'm definitely NOT BORN with trading talent. It was just through shear HARDWORK and practice that I got to this level. But I remained humble and can't wait to continue to improve on this trading journey.
Yep, when I sit at screen and GO MAKE MONEY!!! I SUCK ASS!! when I just keep a general eye on and go hey I see a trade, then I make money. Generally I do the general eye on, build confidence, then go MAKE MONEY and blow all previous profit. I've accepted this and I just trade casually, but higher amount, 1 or 2 trades per day and move on. Recently I'll add!!
Do you see how the two comments you make tells you what you believe? You make money, money money untill you give it all back. That is like live forever ever ever and getting hit by a bus. You make your own rules from what you believe in this business and you trade those rules. Conscious or unconscious...
Not quite the point. 100% will crack this, but some will need to live for ever ever, ie a million years, some will only need 2 weeks but get hit by a bus week 1, therefore never 100%! I make money when I'm not trying to hard, when I try too hard, then I go crazy and balls it up, everytime, get greedy and boom goes the dynamite, or account. I still make money, but I only cause I spend a lot of time in rehab / demo, then make, then give some back, then rehab / demo repeat.
My two kinds. Those who uhhh ..... trade. Those who concern themselves about what others are doing, saying or believing.
