Tired of making money!!!

Unbelievable.... My 4th day on demo today and I decided to go along with some technical information for the day and, above of all, stop making supid decisions like the previous 3 days - that is - wait for the (micro) trend to establish.

I've made today 42 pips! . OK, you might say "not tha big deal", but hey, let me get orgasmic a little, ok? I was dying to make like 10!

Clue is have a CRYSTAL CLEAR strategy, put what you learn on the deal, not what you think or what you want... And - the worst - wait...

I stopped today when I realized that market was then start consolidating and I was tired enough to go on!! ...

Never thought that one day I'd be tired of making money!!!

if you think it sucks to be tired of making money, wait till you're tired of losing it. Thats the feeling that really kills. It can drive people to some pretty desperate actions.

Thanks guys... I know there's still a LOOOONG way to go and wasn't the 42 pips that made me happy but the strategy working.

I mean, everybody says "stay with your strategy! Stay with your strategy" and indeed, this is no BS.

Stay with your strategy and be happy...

I just can't wait Monday to come

The Best Salesmen are often the ones that are pulled from a Non Commission Position merely to assist in the Sales Department during times of overload.

Why would this be?

Could it be because they are already in the state of mind that says... "The outcome will be what it will be." without regard for the Monetary concequences?

The True Salesman can maintain this mentality when his mortgage is on the line.

One of the things I've learned from sitting at the computer for hours is don't trade when you're tired and can no longer think straight.

Learn to "put down the mouse and walk away from the computer".

When you start nodding at the computer, it's time for a nap and not the best time to have real money in play. It can disappear SO fast!

Bro,

You dont need to work 40 hours a week. Create a system for 5 hours work a week for example.

Trade only in London and the opening of NY session. That makes life easier for you.

Vinnie99, I think you already speak good English, like most native Dutch people do in my experience. Actually, many Dutch speak better English than some native Americans.

By "Native Americans" do you mean Native American Indians or persons of any ethnicity/race who were born/raised in America? Also - by America do you mean North America, Central America, South America, USA, Canada, etc.?

These are important distinctions to make when you're making a generalized statement about a huge amount of people.
