I have decided to start my trading journal here on futures.io (formerly BMT) in an effort to document my journey from a beginner to a more advanced trader. Hopefully by making myself accountable openly it will speed the process. If not then at least it will be a good spelling lesson in English for me.
I have previously blown up my trading account and have been licking my wounds for 4 years now. It was all of my savings and more.
I am:
In life: Patient.
In trading: Restless.
In life: Risk averse.
In trading: Over-trading over-leveraged.
In life: Hard working.
In trading: Lazy.
In life: Thinking more - doing less.
In trading: Doing more - thinking less.
Maybe my problem has been that I have been trying to get out of trading what I should be getting out of life.
I need positive balance in my life and in my trading (and check-book).
I want to be: a profitable trader able to trade for a living.
I am: not working intelligently towards that goal.
Maybe this journal will keep my on the right track.
