Summer Program > Thoughts?

Right now I've stopped trading completely. I think I've reached that point where I get uncertain after profit then loss. Anyways, I think I will just be learning more things, then try and develop and good system that works for me (that I'll backtest, etc)

I've started to treat trading more like a business plan and so I've reduced my standard account into a mini so that the actual 3% risk management can apply.

I've also changed my wealth perspective into a long term one.

If there's anyone that's gone through this, can you give some encouraging/personal thoughts?

Anyways, my question is maybe I should attend one of those summer programs - but at the same time, I feel like I could do this without the program's help. I feel like the program is all going to be too basic and stuff that I know.

Please, give me some feedback here!
Thanks a lot!

Ive never been to a summer program, but i have taken a few blowouts throughout the time that ive been trading ( which is also fairly short). The fact is i got back on my feet and am now trading consistently and profitably. You dont need a summer program, just learn as much as you can about the psychology of the market. Once i learned that, i was able to analyze charts better and make profits. I learned everything i could about price action and it has done my trading wonders. For you, it doesnt necessarily have to be price action, it is whatever works; whether that be a simple MA system or using other indicators and such. Keep your head up, and good luck to you and your career.

I think listening to the voice of your intuition plus common sense works wonders, and it sounds like you are doing that rather well, bravo for reevaluating your trading perspective. My one suggestion would be that you may consider to continue trading on a live account BUT switch over your new mini account to a micro account and simply trade one micro lot per trade, that way you are still in the flow of the market and the trading arena too but you will not negatively effect your trading capitol severely if you have a bad run while on your continual learning curve and you can keep on learning on a live account at the same time. I found that a micro account is a wonderful account to slowly build your confidence back up without the emotions kicking in severely and as your confidence grows raise your positions to two micro lots then to three and in due time you will be back up to the mini account level and a new trading maturity level to boot.
