Compulsive loves trading! That is the coolest thing, even with the stress and all, I admire a person that can keep at doing what they want to...
Personally I hate stress, I fight people back bigtime that bully me or cause stress and I sleep well every night.. I've traded and researched trading since 1980's and everything I did all those years was directed towards trading with no stress, continually simplifying things and learning.. nowadays I get up every morning knowing how the casino owner feels plus I have the thrill that the guy at the roulette wheel has when he's on a bit of a roll.. I've had ALL sorts of jobs, Tow Truck, Technician, Restaurant, Engineer, Supervisor, Salesman, nothing beats trading!!
I saw really good advice for Compulsive in this thread, to focus on his own style, the part that he does well. I hope you keep on doing well there Compulsive! Your wife is right to get some of the $ out for the family to use, she's your life advisor and probably a good one too!
