Looking for a New Direction
I can state without a doubt in my mind, forex trading is very challenging. I’ve had some huge challenges to meet in life, but trading successfully is up there with the most difficult. The funniest thing is that I figured out a long time ago the ‘what’ of trading. The ‘how’ part is where I’m still struggling. The mental challenges, specifically taking losses and controlling greed are things I still deal with.
So, what happened to the blog though? I’m still here. I haven’t died or been critically maimed. I just decided to break for a bit and concentrate on being great at one thing, instead of mediocre at many things. With that in mind, I was trading quite a bit and did okay, until one evening when I over-levered and took a big hit on a loss I didn’t want to take. So yes, big mistake! I’m okay with it, but then decided to take a break to make sure I could dedicate the time and effort I really needed to make things work. So that is still where I am. I intend to get back to the blog and site, trading, and other things almost immediately. The key is my schedule. With a family, full time job, and other responsibilities it is a big effort to make time, but that is my intention. I’m hungry and there is no stopping this once I get rolling.
