I know I was only able to learn to trade because I started whilst I was a house-husband, the only pressure on me was to change nappies, not earn money. I learnt the basics with EOD strategies and at 50p/point i.e. cheaply. <br /><br />If I had to earn an income from day 1 then I would be penniless and sectionable.<br /><br />You need to update this post with the solution though :-)<br /><br />UF.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951301688349492388.post-54822800864225930972009-08-29T09:48:07.076+02:002009-08-29T09:48:07.076+02:00MM,
Ran across your post accidentally, this post ...MM,<br /><br />Ran across your post accidentally, this post could have been written by me (pretty much verbatim!).<br /><br />This is my third year trading (2nd year in live trading). And all of the 3times I blew my accounts out it was pressure that got to me....<br /><br />I have re-ignited my previous career to see if the pressure of sole income source was the issue.<br /><br />Unfortunately, it seems that it was....now that my primary income is split my trading has remained the same but my consistency has gone through the roof. <br /><br />I don't make much more now than before (in fact I make the same) but I lose much much less because I simply don't feel the pressure to trade after a loss.<br /><br />That, is not something I would admit to myself for a long time but the market beat me senseless into submission about my limits.<br /><br />I have no choice but to live by those limits.<br /><br />Progress...one day at a time I guess...<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts.<br /><br />Best,<br />S.<br /><br />(BTW, I don't have a blog but I sometimes "hang out" on the commenter's on some helpful blogs (like JE's and Emini Players').<br /><br />Those guys come up with little gems often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
