I want to wish everyone a happy new year.

I got started as a trader in April 2017. I was a long term investor since 2013. I watched Trading Tickers in April, and that put me on the right path as I studied at my own pace the strategies of Tim Sykes & Superman.

I still work full time as a CPA. I'm not necessarily expecting to get exponential growth like some of these outliers in 2018, but I'm hoping to just take it a day at a time and continue to improve. The longer term goal is to go full time.

In 2018, I want to just have better swing trades, have more consistency, and also to get good at shorting. The majority of my trades are long.

I hope my profits & posts, details about my trades, continue to inspire and help other traders. You don't need to do this full time to be profitable. 

I have a lot to learn, but I'm satisfied with my progress thus far. The fear of executing trades has gone away as long as my size is in check - that is the biggest factor.  The fear of volatility is gone. I embrace the volatility now. And I embrace losses as part of the game.

The volatility in my profitly chart has been going away thus far as well - i had the hardest time cutting losses, but the past 2 months have been OK.

Looking forward to 2018.
