First Day, Day 18
Forex trading just got a lot more real now. Daily FX update is coming up.

I will be starting off w/ a good amount (2K+) and see how the things go in a few days or weeks. Of course, the goal will be keeping up w/ the consistency for the next 6 months till my 2nd child arrives in mid-Oct.

and that's right... you heard me, 2nd child is on the way and will be here mid-Oct.

So let's make this ride as enjoyable as it can be.

Thread Update:
Day 63 - My son was born on 10/6/18, so I have reset the timer, and we will be counting up the number as he grows up.

Day 183
Feelin' pretty damn well as my first day since the 9-5 stress is now completely out of my shit. As I am concluding today's section, I now can go fulling rested and spend some quality time w/ my kid maybe take her to a park run around like a crazy little people. Anything is better than stay in an office and on-call.

a lovely lovely day ahead.

thank you, brother. Yup, hoping everything will just work out as planned.
I mean trading is hard. u can have a losing week/month by doing everything right, or you can have a winner just by sleeping on the job. Key to the success would have a tested system over a good period of time. It's hard to say if I have it or not, but I surely have seen enough and I thought that can count for something and that would be my edge to win this game.

got myself a pretty hilarious new book is what I did fun for the day if you are asking.

Yes, to survive into this market definitely you will need a good strategy along with wise, dynamic money management. Market is changing and we need to adopt the Chronological updates of this market. At the end of a wining strategy, psychology matter.

Day 180
if you want to win, you need to time it and wait for the right moment to strike. While u are waiting, mastery, mastery, and mastery. It's better to be ready than you aren't when its the go time.

Keep telling urself that, and maybe you will find urself not so free and relaxed on the weekends.

Day 179
I am officially starting my new week as I am stepping into this realm of full time forex trading.

The truth is that I have already tried couple times w/ company paid vacation days or sick days. It all felt great while knowing I would always have something to fall back when things go south, I still have a job.

but this time, this time is different. This time I do not have anything to fall back on other than the cold hard fact that I have nowhere to turn to or gonna have to start look for a job to support my living expense soon or later.

To some of you, that would be scary, but to me, in a way, oddly enough, it excited me to a point makes me laser focuse and ready to take on the challenege.

Of course, goal setting is equally important in this process. My goal for this month is only to be profitable while I am getting use to this pace of live that is changing around me.

So yeah, all I need is this first month to be profitable. That would be my first win and the only win I needed.

Day 166

I have heard people have been telling me stories and all ended up w/ I have tried everything and I failed.

well... I cannot agree w/ that.

if you tried everything, you will be fit.
if you tried everything, you will be profitable.

If you tried everything, and you still fail. You did it wrong, go back and try again. TRY HARDERRR!

Day 165

This weekend ended on the green side and made myself feel pretty good about reaching my first goal which is being profitable for the first month i started this thread.

There are still several days left in this month. I should be able to pass this goal and move on to then ext more challenge goal. Next goal would be injecting additional fund into my live account and continue to trade and be profitable for the next month, May.

I am thinking about $3000 for the main account (and hop obtain the current monthly growth) and another smaller account for my another project. The amount I set for the smaller account would be $100 but at a much higher leverage setting tho.

Speaking of the other side project (yeah I have so much time on hand right now, stay home, no day job, remember?) Live Stream is done setting up and working on the dashboard now. YouTube account for video/voice blog is too created, but nothing on YouTube yet until further notice.

As for YouTube, I am still thinking what content I should be put on because there is just so much to cover. I need to think this through first because I wanted to keep my camera rolling for at least 100 videos. I had made couple trading videos in the past, but they are all too time-consuming and time is the too valuable to me right at this moment.

And yet, coffee is always good. I will take one any time of the day.

Let me know what kind video content you would like to see would be a lot helpful.

Day 164

I hate the fact that trading in LA (USA) always put me behind everyone else and ALWAYS ALWAYS 3 hours behind NY time. So I stay up late and make sure I start BEFORE everyone in NY wakes up.

And that is how I earn my morning every single day.
And that is how I roll.

$1000 injection for May trading. Same goal as before, aim for a profitable month.

$100 account also added for a future project I am planning on doing.

Also here is another book note from G.M Loeb (one of my favorite authors from Wall Street). Enjoy.
