I have hit $50k in total trading profits! :) My purpose is to share/inspire, not to brag.

This is a milestone I have been trying to check off my list since I hit $25k back in August. I am very happy! I think it is great to set goals for yourself because it helps you stay motivated and it feels amazing once you achieve what you have been working for. More specifically for trading, just make sure you do not put a time limit on your goal. If you say you are going to make $50k in two months, chances are you will become discouraged along the way because you will realize it is much harder than you anticipated. You will also probably use too much size and start forcing trades because you "need to hit your goal." What I am saying is, set goals for yourself but stay patient with it. Take each day as its own, one trade at a time. STAY POSITIVE! Stay humble. Stay hungry. You can do this.

I would also like to thank Tim Sykes for getting me started, continuing to inspire me, and for creating this wonderful community. Without him I would not be writing this, and I would not have $50k to talk about! 

This blog section on Profit.ly is pretty cool because it is a great reflection/documentation of my progress. Here is a direct link to my blog page if you want to go back and read through my journey so far and maybe find some motivation and useful tips along the way: http://profit.ly/user/Ike/blog

I have much more that I can share with you guys so let me know if you like this and my content in general. You can also follow me if you want to stay up to date with these trades and blog posts. Leave me a comment on my wall or message anytime if you want some tips or advice. I also try to respond to all PM's in chat room but I am sometimes afk during slow hours so sorry if I miss anything. 

Thanks for reading! My next goal is $100k in profits. I have no clue how long it will take, I only know one thing...
