Quote from First Point LLC:
I began to feel sort of the same way because I've been on a losing streak lately, but I refuse to believe that there's no way to make a living off of trading. I was brought into the game by someone who made his first million as a trader at the age of 21. So I know its possible. Watching Paul Tudor Jones' documentary "Trader" was also very humbling because we saw a guy putting in work before he became a mogul.
Trading, from my experience, is about self-discipline more than anything. Every loss I have ever taken (except one) was always the result of me doing something I originally said I wouldn't do. When I'd stick to my system, I'd usually come out fine. I took a break away from trading to get my mind clear and discovered that the problem was me. But you've got to ask yourself why are you even trading in the first place. This is not the game for a person to enter if they're minds are stuck in a subconscious self-sabotage mode because you'll get just what you're looking for. Or, as Ed Sekota puts, "Everyone gets exactly what they want out of the market." Believe it or not, some people's minds are geared toward failure, no matter how smart they are. Unless you can correct that about yourself, leave trading alone.
This kind of mumbo jumbo has no place in trading. I can just by reading your shit know you're not going to make it. Get out now, or do yourself a favor and keep on trading the one lot paper.
