I gradually learnt that the only way to learn trading is the hard way. I have learnt my lessons from my past mistakes and now just see trading as “slightly boring”. I have learnt there are no get rich quick holy grails. I have learnt that the only profitable way to trade for me is by just looking at price.

I really don’t care what is happening on the news tomorrow; I don’t let it affect my trading. I don’t care what “might” happen with interest rates. I don’t care that the market is “showing a potential retrace” according to experts. All I care about when I trade is “now”. I am absorbed into the chart and price, I see nothing else. Nothing distracts me whilst I trade. The time passes quickly and then I know when to stop. When I stop I count the results for the day, but even if negative it doesn’t bother me. I know the week will be positive.

I have learnt to disassociate myself from “feeling” whilst I trade. I only trade what I see. I trade the miniscule movements second by second and watch as they unfold into large positive trades. I can’t put it into words, really. It’s just something that develops within you over time. Time and anguish spent learning the hard way brings many to this point of just watching price.

I don’t think I am great, I don’t think the market owes me... I do care that each week collects a profit from the market table.

I can’t say anymore than that really. It’s a voyage of self discovery. It hurts, but eventually yields results.
