Hello ForexFactory members,
I have a number of questions for all of you, in which I'd like genuine answers (no trolling please).
I am 18 years of age. I became immersed in the world of trading/financial markets a couple of years ago. I instantly fell in love with it.
Ever since, I have had a burning desire to become the best, and excel beyond all others in this field.
Some may call what I have an obsession, but what they think is irrelevant. People can call it what they want. I have a passion for this and I plan to pursue it to the fullest.
The further I went down the rabbit hole, the more I discovered my passion for this profession, and my insatiable thirst to succeed within it.
I dropped out of Highschool, and decided to devote all of my time to becoming the best.
Ever since, I have been studying (whether it be literature or the charts) for over 15 hours a day, without exception. In fact, some days I'd lose track of time and forget to sleep.
Mind you, I live in Australia, and hence, London/US open is later in the day for me (London open 5PM, NY open 10PM).
Where do I see myself ? I will open a Hedge Fund and I will win ( Do not confuse this statement with a destructive EGO, as undoubtedly, some of you may point out).
I have discovered, tested, and fine-tuned a profitable system to suit my personality, and have begun building 6 months (Or however long it may take) worth of live statements to prove my reliability and profitability, to potential investors. This will then lead to the acquisition of investor funds, and the beginning of building my business.
My question is to those of you who have experience in this profession or in this field. What do you suggest I do, in terms of specifics, to ensure I get to the top? I will do anything that is required of me to achieve this level of success.
My strengths are in TA, but I have very little FA knowledge. Perhaps this would be a field to study in order to enhance my results?
The reason I have little to no FA knowledge, is due to the fact that I do not trade the news (I trade the reaction to the news). But I make no judgements upon FA. I am not wise, nor experienced enough to know its potential benefits, which is another reason I am making this thread.
As I have said, I am willing to work as hard as it takes. 15+ hours a day of study is a given for me. If you tell me that I need to go days without sleep, then I will do it without question. This is thoroughly enjoyable for me, and I do not see it as work.
Note: My focus is majorly in building my own business. Getting into investment banking, or working for someone else in a proprietary trading environment, is not the direction I want to take myself in. I want to focus all of my energy on my own business, so that I may compete against these firms/investment banks, not work with them.
Also, I have gone through the history of the "Trading Discussion" forum, and read through every single educational/interesting thread I could get my hands on. That includes those that have already asked the same question, such as myself. But I wanted to make another thread to put my situation into context, and ask for advice related to my specific circumstances.
I know there are trolls on this forum, but there are also those of you who genuinely want to help others, and strive to do so everyday. Thank you for any advice you take that time to post.
