Hi everyone,
this would be my first (edit) thread here and just wanted to seek some advice regarding success as a commodity trader.
This is a soup question, (ref: Finding Forrester), How did you manage your windfall?
I'm pretty much sure that FF got some of the traders who were not born with a silver spoon and made it, finally. The question is how did you handle your success?
Learning to drive, the nervousness turns to excitement to reckless driving, a crash survived with few broken ribs then cautious driving and finally boring every day ride to work. I think you know what I'm talking about.
But now you have made it and those of you can afford that Aston Martin if you like.
Unless one is born into a traditionally rich environment, where wealth is taken for granted and passed to next generation, handling wealth is rather difficult, I guess. People changes with sudden windfalls and attitude changes, behavior, eating habits and social class everything changes. Most of such windfalls ends up either on lavish spending or I don't know, waste!
So this post is directed to those of you who made it as a trader from modest background. Please share how you handled your success.
(No I'm not guessing that you turned your $5k into million and thats why I didn't post it to the Beginner's forum.)
This is a soup question because after blowing few accounts when it started to feel odd that my 3rd account lasted over 6 months, and after the first year the odd feeling now really starts to scare me a lot. Specially after I started catching myself about to press that self-sabotage market order, the ROI scares me of sudden changes.
Did you feel afraid of change? If then how did you handle it?
