Quote from etoile:
spanish, i'm sure you'll bounce back very soon.
good choice to scale down on the trade size too.
i think what's important is to think less of the money, but in terms of following your strategy.
Cheers mate..
Ive was lying down thinking about how shit my life has become,
but so then i started thinking about how comes generationg so much money isnt making me happy.
And then i started to think about how if i saw any of the amounts that i see on my trading screen in my actual bank account how i would take the cash and run everytime... lol
But just because its on a trading screen ive turned down £200s £500s on nearly a dialy basis now just because i want more and think market could go higher.. :/
And then i started thinking about why 1day the number '£1,000 profit' suddenly became the 'average' amount i should be earning each day!!
And so days i only made £500s i would get so angry n pissed off, even the days i was doing numbers i didnt like such as £729 (i like 8s n 6s but no 7s),
i still kept feelingd own cos i hadnt reahced this '£100' target that somehow had come there.
I remember that the only actualy targets ive ever set myself are £52 per day (that will cover all rent/food/tv/taxis, and all my living costs), and my ultimate dream target was £300 per day.
And so ive decided that im gna go knock this stupid £1000 number out my way and go back to a target of £68 t £86 profit per day!

While i dont mid having lots of cash, i never ever planned to be rich.
Untill last July i had planned to go live in spain n be a fireman or police officer for my career, where id be earning about £1,600 per month after tax.
So ive decided that im gan trade in having all this stupid stress and ambitions to make lots of money,
and just gna go back to trading at £6 per tick, knocking out £86 per day, and then just closing my trading screen and not even thinking about the markets till the next day.
