Trader in the works

  1. It has been about six months into my trading. I recently took up gardening and the key to successful gardening is patience. In January i became every confident buying and selling which brought my account to around $ 2,900.00.

    I was at $ $ 5,900.00 and felt like it's and easy game this trading thing, but bad decisions lead to losses. I went wrong in foolishly trying to play the earnings reports on stocks and selling too quickly to shorters-just on news.

    So I sold all my positions stepped out and took a breather. I stopped looking at the market and reading bullshit books for awhile. I came back in selected my stock and i'm up to $ 3,500.00.

    If im successful with my trading, i write a book about gardening.
