Wow! It's been 12 months exactly to the day since I began my trading journey, and what a journey it's been. Sure, I've not had the success I dreamt I would have but I also haven't failed. I've lost half my original starting balance, but, I haven't deposited any additional funds, I haven't bust my account, I've continued to learn and I am making progress. When you look back on it, just the mere fact that I am still on my original deposit and I haven't blown up my account, that's a f**king achievement to be proud of because there are many, many people who haven't managed to do the same in their first year of trading!
This week was a tough one. The FOMO was still evident on some days which cost me. I had a couple of short time days when I could only trade for an hour as I had commitments so that kind of 'forced' things a little, resulting in losses. I missed opportunities and moves, but I am still happy with the way things are going.
I feel that I am so close to being a consistently profitable trader that I can smell it, I can taste it, it's almost within the finger tips of my grasp....but it escapes me.
For now.
I know what I need to do, and I know how to do it, I just need to apply myself and I will join not just the 10% but the 1% of that 10%...
