Trading is tough. For me, it is tough because I have yet to master the trading psychology, namely patience and discipline. It is hard to master this trading psychology when you are trading in your own shadow where trading losses are kept in the dark which only you alone knew. I have paid my 'school fee' in the 'School of Hard Knocks'. I now desire to graduate. Therefore, I need to take ownership and be accountable for my trading results.
What better way to do that than to go public with my trading results. And in so doing to risk being shamed if I fell short of meeting the standard of patience and discipline required of a good trader.
It is important to have a goal. And I held myself accountable to the following goal:
Goal 1: Achieve a return of at least 10% from 1 Dec 2011 to 31 Dec 2012.
Goal 2: If goal 1 is met, apply to Currensee and qualify as a Trade Leader in 2013.
Goal 3: If goal 2 is met, to qualify among the top 10 Trade Leaders in Currensee by 2015.
I take pride in my assumed profession as a trader. I am tired of being labeled a gambler by the doubters. Let the doubters talk the talk, while my trading results walk the walk.
