MY LESSONS SO FAR IN MY FIRST MONTH OF TRAINING TO BE A TRADER................

 

First (only blog) post ........ maybe.........

 

 

Oh, my lessons so far are many , more than I care to count but personally I don't seem to mind all that much (yet). Although I am constantly losing money, getting pissed off, yelling and screaming, I understand it's because i'm new, and I also understand it's this whole trading thing that is the BIG learning curve for me that triggers my tourette's (kidding) .. I'm starting to accept it now, and also starting to accept that losing money is a part of being a trader (some more than others), I still remain positive. I am paying my way through trader college I suppose, paying my tuition (so they say), and learning what NOT do very well. Hopefully in the months to come I will finally start being consistently profitable, going green, and maintaining it... no no, i'm sure...lol.

 

 I still feel like I have no fucking clue with what I am doing! (yeah I said that out loud) I watch video after video, lesson after lesson and perhaps I am just too thick in the head , but i'm just not getting it yet. I mean I'll watch them again and again if I have to and Don't get me wrong because I love the Challenge.  I love all the lessons and I get most of it, but I just don't have one iota of confidence yet in knowing what hell I'm doing, and it's frustrating as hell. I know I should give myself a break since I have literally been doing this trading trading ONE month out of my life, I shouldn't expect to just get it overnight ( although that's what I want)....  I now understand it will take time and lots of it.

 

And hey, I don't know about anyone else here, but I found it VERY, VERY difficult to post this first blog, hanging out there all my dirty laundry and looking like an idiot...lol You know .... these types of humbling posts, where you feel like a fucking idiot. But hey what the hell, I figure we are all here learning this at the same time here. I mean, none of us were born with a brokers as parents? RIGHT?? ,, at least I don't think so lol..

 

Anyway, for my first post as a challenge student, not such a positive theme I know..But I'm sure it'll get better, it has to..?! I enjoy hanging out in the chat room in the mornings like a stalker, and although I don't say much, it's mostly because i'm not that much of a morning person, AND I work second shift full time and i'm half awake. I get out of work at night around 11, drive an hour home, study for a few hours, go to bed at 2 am and then I am up at 7:30 am to study some more before the market opens and go over my plans, and watch-list I made from the night before.. 

 

Which brings me to my next point........ This is why I started doing this, I don't want to work a full time job any more!!!!!! I've been doing it too long, AND i'm 50 yrs young... I want an early retirement damn it !!!!!!  I am also doing this because Tim, Dux, Grittani, Mark, Superman, Roland, LX21, and others have all inspired me beyond imagination. You couldn't ask for better teachers to learn from. So with that, Good luck to the rest of the students and see you around the chat room...

 

I get that if you work hard, study harder and dedicate yourself to achieving your goals,  that you can make it, because it's all up to you. There will never be anyone else driving your boat, because you're the captain. And you can go wherever you want, just as long as you have a compass, a map, and the winds at your sails, you can go anywhere you desire.

 

Hope this is acceptable for a blog post... if not yall can remove it..
