Trying not to beat myself up for stupid moves that I've made. Learning in this business is not easy, and not cheap.
I look back and think, "Why the hell did I do that? That was nothing more than a gamble. I would have been better off putting my money down on the blackjack table."
*sigh*
trading is not for practical people
same applies to mountaineering, solo yachting around the wold, firefighters, soldiers, etc etc
practical people earn salary at normal jobs, buying houses, paying mortgage for them.. etc etc
those who say after the loosing trade: "here goes my car payment" - should never be trading
newbie surely is paying for education, the problem is - he does not know how much will it take , in terms of time , money, and talent.. lacking any of those and he will never get there...
the belief in himself - the only thing he can rely on
this belief is not practical , is not reasonable, is not justifiable, is not normal, is not understandable, is not learn-able
one either have it or not...
having it doe snot guarantee the success it will only guarantee that one will continue
