I love to work at something that challenges me. So long hours was fun. Getting overall risk to almost nil when trade put on was my goal. Once acheived....the thrill been gone past handfuls of years.
Having a mindset of being carefree about $$$ !!! Meaning, to be able to focus just on the direction of the chart, not thinking of making or losing money. Thats THE (at least MY) way to success.
%% Good one \ not that we hope you blow another account. I am looking into flipin' or investing in REALTY again. More of a stretch this time/ due to rates HI,supply + price.................................................................. NOT that I expect to blow up another account LOL. But labor , all labor = honorable, even if you help XOM, MRO, MUR,MCD,DG,WMT,MCD ............................. Not that I want the leverage\ that caused me to blow up an account or leverage that wrecked Dave Ramsey to go thru\ bankruptcy. NOT a thrilling stock tip/ i do ETFs; goal includes good mindset+ workset..
Good plan. Real estate has been picking up lately. I had realtor friend who did not sell one house for 2 years suddenly getting busy and closing deals lately.
%% Any market study may help/regardless of a flip. Good mindset. Most any or all labor helps. Mrs Meyers snapped, ''put your shopping cart UP when you are thru'' LOL. I do that @ WMT or DG , not just because i think Kenneth G of Citadel owns WMT; or even though most companies need help with labor + transactions soemtimes. I want to give some more, somewhat like Bill + Melinda Gates/and Paul Tudor Jones to DU[Ducks Unlimited ]. May not, LOL give as much to DU as PTJones ; but great ad /DU, PTJ took out \noted green + more selective shooting than the law requires. Even though I can usually get the DU magazine from the local sporting goods/gun dealer. I'll check my budget by Sunday nite...........................
SML, In the past you were so confident and felt very close to achieving trading success and were having a degree of success in your sim trading. Did something happen suddenly to cause you to give up trading or did the long slow grind just finally take its toll. I am not sure what a "ES Master Money Maker" is but good luck to you in your new venture.
Good Morning Illini Trader, ES Master Money Maker means, I take money from the ES futures market every single day. The ES futures market is place where "traders" go to make or lose money 23 hours a day. I am still trading daily, but I am not a trader. I do not classify myself anymore as a Day Trader, I classify myself as Daily Money Maker in the ES futures market. I honestly do not know or want to know what trader means anymore, everytime I try to be a trader, I lose money. I never gave up trading, I will trade until the day the good Lord takes me home. yes, I am very confident, extremely confident actually in my ability to take money from the ES futures market everyday of my life until I have $5 million cash money in my savings account. Full Disclaimer : I am currently a Winning Money Maker of about $15,000 on the fiscal year of 2023. I made the $15,000 the past 14 days. I am an ES Futures Master Money Maker. I make money in the ES futures market every single day. I am not a Trader, just a Money Maker of the ES Futures Market. Being a trader is too complicated and far too much work. I use to a be a Loser of the ES futures market when I was a Trader. In about 3 months, the ES futures market will promote me to ES Futures Market - The Holy Grail Money Maker King.
