Honestly, how hard can eye surgery be.

I will download an ebook on the subject today and read it tonight.

Just to show you all how mature I am, and to impress myself, this is where I am at right now.

I will keep my loses small.
Firstly I want to be paid up front and I will only operate on one eye at a time.

This way if I get the entry wrong, at least the patient has always got the other eye.
I am calling this "trading one contract"

Needless to say I will try to resist the temptation of operating on a one eyed patients when I first start out.
That is where discipline will kick in I guess.

After say two months I will up my trade size to two eyes (whether they both need correction or not), thus doubling my income.

I know that I will have trouble doing the banking (money management) but I will come to you guys for advice.

I will be paying particular attention to Posters here who have never plucked up the courage to do anything, but at the same time make the most noise.
They are very easy to spot.

If I have left anything out then please reply.

As always, I reserve the right to ignore all good sound advice.

Wait there is more ..... I will open a chatroom intially full of aliases but hopefully replaced by fare paying noobies whom I will impress by operating on eyes and chatting with them at the same time.

Quite frankly this last idea is a stroke of pure genius on my part because if for some reason my eye surgery does not work, I will simply fail to inform the noobies in the chatroom ... they never know the difference.
Any trouble in camp and the offending noobie will be replaced by an alias until such time as I can foul hook another noobie.

comments please

regards

Quote from Cocaine:

People are generally losers, or at least they perceive themselves to be defeated before they've really begun. I dont understand why people quit or feel defeated if things dont go their way almost immediately. Probably its got something to do with the fact they most people arent cut out or have a desire to trade in the first place and thats why the failure rate is so high. They think they want to be a trader but when its all said and done, they really dont.

-Henry Ford

I'll copy the quotes. Thanks.
