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.

stalking

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.

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.

The market is the one place where following trends and not making them is cool.

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.” 
- George Bernard Shaw

Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me

Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing

Dow Jones is now down for the year, hmmmm

May, worst month for Nasdaq in two years, hmmmm

what is right, and what is wrong, and who the F... decides?

and what are the consequences ?

S&P after the pit session close

follow through to downside is expected, but keep in mind Friday is first of the month and a jumper trade is possible

Remember the mind grows strong through use. Struggle makes power.

Napoleon Hill liked to tell a story about his grandfather, a wagon builder in North Carolina. "When the old man cleared the land for cultivation, he always left a few oak trees in the middle of the field at the mercy of the elements, unsheltered by other trees in the forest. It was from those trees that his grandfather made the wagons’ wheels. Because they were forced to struggle against the fury of nature, they grew strong enough to bear the heaviest load. Welcome difficult challenges, for the greatest opportunities will come from challenges that force you to expand your mind as you search for creative solutions. During life’s bleakest hours, take solace in the face that you are strengthening yourself through struggle so that in the future you will be prepared to take on even greater challenges. Like the old oak tree, you grow strong only when you are forced to struggle."
