I am finally in the black and I have my momentum now

- 190 to + 56 ...........what a week and it is only thurs

The start of the week was very hard for me due to thin volume and commods not open, now that everything is operating normally it is much easier for me to read the market

I wish everyone a good night

 

[littleangel1982]

I hope my thread gives inspiration to every new trader

It doesnt matter if you are down ,I have been taught to remain steadfast and take your emotions out of trading.

It is very hard to master the psychology of trading, for me it is the biggest obstacle

I honestly find trading the markets very easy........but the psychological part is very hard

Hence this exercise

now that I am in the black , my teacher should be proud of my efforts hopefully

It is not easy. You had a very bad day on Tuesday and got it back on Wednesday.. Lots of traders have days like that. You have to do much more to convince and you have to show us that you have a method. All you seem to be using is a shorting mentality which did not work at first.

You have made a great comeback but you have, also, made lots of trades. Keep going.
