Disliked{quote} I once tried to make $500 a month starting with $5,000. The pressure was way too much than one could handle. I reduced this to $60 a month with $200, even that was very stressful. Then someone turned on the light of the dark room I was sitting in. I now don't expect a regular return, just keep on taking small risk, small reward trades whenever possible. Like Soros (or whoever) said 'walking over 10 of 1 ft. bars than trying to jump over one 10ft bar.'Ignored
Started trading for beer money, and learned how to appreciate taking smaller bites of the apple.
I used to take 50-500 pip trades, typically in the 80-90 Range...I was an absolute fucking SLAVE to MARKET!
Found out I can make more by taking a few more trades with a lot less profit and walk away whenever I want. Increased my beer money risk and never looked back.
Trading OPM, that was another adjustment. Took me a while to get past that hurdle, but like everything else...small steps. One foot in front of the other.
