ImO you have to pretty much crawl through shite to get to the top of the "layer cake" mate, so get ready for a bumpy ride. A winner in this game is determined by his levels of perseverance. All the best!

 

100% agree. It sickens me how Chase has changed even though I've only been there for 16 months. Fast food model was a perfect analogy. Definitely one of the reasons why I left so quickly.

And yes, I am demoing software. Demoing Sterling starting Tuesday

 

So true.

 

nice post

 

2 weeks into trading fulltime. Decided to give it a go while i'm still home w/ the parents.

W/o a doubt the pyschology part is the toughest. My strategy is profitable, and I'm just barely profitable. Definitely working on the pyschology part, and plan on mastering it within the next month or so.

I've got a journal tracking my progress if any are interested

 

samus,

I fully agree with what you said.

Just curious, what instrument do you trade?

 

You've had some good advise on this thread. And some shit advise too from people who you need to avoid like the plague unless you're taking the other side of their trade.

In regards to your ''profit goal per trade'', think more in terms of your risk.
Risking a dollar to make 50 cents will end your trading career quickly.
Read Mark Douglas, Trading in the Zone.

Trade Well.

 

If you get it within the next month - write a book and be another Mark Douglas.

Is this your journal or are you elsewhere? Enjoy reading how others are getting along.

Make 'em pretty, Chris

 

I've got a journal in the journals section
