STT Weekend thread 28-29th, page-118

I hope your single?

The thing is you have got a passion for this - so breaking that down into understanding the motivation-
That can be purely to make money - or you like the thought of making money from something that is interesting-

I suspect a lot of us fall into that category- it is a lone wolf job- for me the thought of being able to work alone and not be hindered by the work place drama is a big driving force- Don't get me wrong I love people and love my job- however I hate the constant drama that some people create- to me trading would create freedom to go to work and not need to -

I work in a club mostly on weekends- and evenings- so i am free during market hours....
although there are a lot of avenues for connecting with others that have this interest- and lets face it- we all get addicted---

The thing is to pace yourself and do the learning- it takes a few years to identify what sort of trading you want to do?
Either way I think the real bottom line is to learn TA- After a while you can leave your trades and not worry- cause you bought at the right point and set a stop loss ( if you can't watch) And know the FA and are confident you are in a trade that is going up...
Sounds simple- It is not- there are a lot of lessons along the way that need to be learned to also add to the knowledge that you need to keep the macro picture in mind and then there are the unexplained dumps when you think something will go up on a good announcement-
TIME - it is a game
Set your life up so you have time to watch and learn- focus on what you want to do-
I am guessing you may be a young uni student? If I am correct - then you need to asses whether you are studying something that you really want to work with- or if it is to get that career-
In the end Passion creates excellence-
