the trading game
When I lose I'm really excited about all the alterations I can make and everything I can learn from the data of my game. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to really fix this and make it strong for next day based on what I see in the data---all the things I can do differently. But when I win I get a kind of feeling of being invincible, there's nothing really left to correct, I only need to show up next day. And I don't like that. I get upset with that attitude, so I'm worried when I win about how to keep the intensity and how to keep myself focused.
Life.
There are 24-hours in the day, what do you spend the most time doing? If it's not doing something you love, it might be time for a change. Trading, playing music, riding my bike, and helping others are my favourite things I like doing.

trading secret
If you were created in the image of your creator, then you were meant to create. It's as simple as that. All the instincts are already in you. You have it in you to become a trader millionaire or whatever you want to become financially. It's in you. It isn't outside of you somewhere, in the latest hot system. It's inside.

time off
from a song;
You can spend your whole life
building something from nothing
One storm can come and
blow it all away...Build it anyway.
You can chase a
dream
that seems so out of reach
And you know it might not
ever come your way...Dream it anyway.
that seems so out of reach
And you know it might not
ever come your way...Dream it anyway.

trading
This is very much applicable to trading. We don't need many setups to make a living trading, all we need is one good setup executed properly over and over again.

thoughts are things
“A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in
this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean
and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all
the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and
replied, The one I feed the most.”

have a great weekend !
Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing
