I have come to realize how important focus is to my success in the market. Social stress can come in many forms and some of those stresses cannot be avoided. I have turned my back on a social group that has been a considerable amount of stress for me. I am confident that this decision will afford me more time for study and help to unclutter my mind while walking this path as "Trader". Family and work stress is unavoidable and I am becoming much better at managing it.
Now that I have my Sunday's fully free I can properly study before market open.
Sometime trading can be very boring; music in the background always helps.
For now I will browse around this site and find valuable information that can assist me in making more money this week than I have last week.
So.............i got rejected by Generictrade today......more than likely it was my declaration of income or something............they offered a followup............
One must be flexible....so............I applied to Interactive Brokers live and demo...............a major plus come to think of it because I can use NT7...........and that's more than ideal..............
So now I have difficulty opening my chart of choice MGC gold futures.............well............NYMEX is all I can say
THe thing with IB is that one must make at leats 20 dollars of commision per calendar month for the perk....im cool with that.....i can make 20 dollars a month trading futures.........i am skilled enough.....
Life away from the chart influences ones trading decisions
As I have mentioned posts ago; I removed myself from a social situation.....
It was the church I was attending
Its been a month now

A visit by the pastor is expected tomorrow at my home
Its like a news event where price touches a major support/resistance level
My final decision in the matter must be made in this meeting before uttering a word

My trading will support my musical endeavors; this is one reason why I trade
Here is an example of what I would do all day with profitable trades going
Its what I strive for........

Jazz karaoke..........

Gotta keep the focus so eventually I just play saxophone and travel while trading
The only way I will get there is by a settled mind/spirit/body
I had to make a decision......my first lesson on money management.........the interactive guy said no deposits below 2000 USD...........the website did not make that clear.........Ninja reguires 1000 and I have 900 to use...........i trade......so i deposited the 900 into an american broker using MT4 and Ninjatrader 8.........forex currecncies.........futures trading will come soon......
its time to stop demoing and start trading
i closed it in profit less than an hour later............man....i tell ya...........trading requires flexibility and thinking on your feet, hands, and head.....
It started with 900.....two days work......trading news..............learning money management live...................little by little.......get to 1000 and open a futures account........forex news price action is not trustworthy....its like hustling in the street......but hey, main man gotta get his money up
