lose motivation

Try nutmeg in your eggnog


Quote from hermit_trader:

Do you know how to "add" passion into my mind? I know it looks stupid but it is very critical not only for trading but for life.

When I was young (before 30) I have lots of passion e.g. computer games, football, craft, arts, music and girls :D But I lost many of them as I get older. And I seldom have new passion. To be hornest, even porn can't boost me up as it used to be!!!!! :eek:

I really want to make trading as my passion but don't know how to .:(

Quote from hermit_trader:

Sometime I lose the motivation to trade. I don't know how to boost my desire to re-enter the market. I am influenced by the books written by Alex Elder, but he doesn't mention anything about this. He only warns people to cut losses and not to overtrade. I like his books but I feel rather depress after reading them.:D

I have the same thing for almost 3 years. it doesn't get better lol, but don't want to take a "normal" job so that's why i am still here.

I swear by a Ginseng & Red Bull every morning :) ....seriously

Save your money on the red bull and buy some taurine to go with the ginseng. The only acceptable use of red bull is when mixed w/vodka.
 
Hermit, I don't think you should be too bothered about your trading, as long you're making regular money out of it.

Trading is a business like any other.

If you're making money but not feeling fully focussed as of now,
then what you probably need is a vacation.

Get recharged and get back to continue making money out of the markets. Wish you the best.

Quick question:

What do you guys recommend drinking to start your days? I've got a real love for this business though I'm experiencing stomach pains as a result of the stress associated with it. I wouldn't trade it for the world though I would like a little reduction in this pain.

Should I lay off the coffee or what?
 
Set 1 gallon of water on your desk...sip it throughout the day. Try drawing lines across it to indicate where you should be at for the passing times of day....sorta like on-track volume :)

Replace coffee with a cup of authentic Italian Grappa.

First thing to do when you lose your motivation:

1.) do not come to this site.

2.) maybe a vacation is in order.

3.) try to get fixated on money again.
