your a seeker mike.

ive known it since the first days i met you.

you know your on "the path" when two things happen.

1. these "wonderings" begin to consume you. you literally agonize over them.

2. you begin to notice that when your mean or angry or even slightly less than kind you suffer. i mean you really suffer inside from your actions.

its an often painful road but its value is beyond description where its leading.

might be time to start that section in the group back up.

This is what people BELIEVE is the truth, but the reality is trading is what you make of it....
I quite agree with you Mike. Also, I used Fijitrader's compounding spreadsheet....If you can average 6% monthly(doable on weekly, daily and 4hr charts), you can build a $10,000 account into $1,000,000 in 6.83 years...that is not too too long....and by then, you'll be an expert fx trader.

Don't have the $10k you say? Then, get a part time job on top of your full time job, and you will have it in 1-2 yrs...

Just IMHO... GregB

if you have a small account it would not be beneficial to move down.



trading forex will not make you rich

Then why am i trading?? and why is everyone else spending years learning this? i must be wasting my time here then?

in most cases it will make you poorer than when you started
if you do make it to the few 1% that succeed at forex it will just be a supplement to your income.
it will not replace your daytime job..



unless of course you were already very successful at some other venture in life and made a ton of money.. then...
i dont like this negativity, it just simply discourages newbies like me and am sure other noobs aswell, becasue i know am certainly not in the 1% or ever will be.

dont be discourage soh.

discouraged is when you had to use a ruler, pencil, graph paper and a newspaper to trade. lol.

no one should ever be discouraged these days.

btw denz is a good guy. we might be miss interpreting him to some degree.

keep the faith buddy.

I'll over simplify this a little, but it covers a very broad brush. The quality is humility. Coupled with modesty.

Literally not gonna happen, specially in those living & working in the Third World countries (average wage is like +/- $100-250 per MONTH)
Good advice, still, in general.

{btw, i AM from a Third World country; People like me who like & love trading got to work our way around this issue, in whatever way we can}

Have u read your OWN post?
u seem to be discouraging YOURSELF as well.
You want success (positive) but what u say/post are negative. U are conflicting yourself ---Dont 'trade against yourself'.

Do not be discouraged.
if u dont like negativity, then INSULATE Yourself from all the negatives in your surrounding, whether at home, outside, or on the internet.
Also, watch very carefully what u say. What u say can come true.
If u want success, START WITH YOURSELF & YOUR MIND. use positive words..

If u want to succeed badly & work for & towards it, success will come, nothing can stop u.

here is something i recieved today.

i very very very rarely do this in the free thread.

im doing this to say something.

success is not a destination. its a journey and a damn fun one if you allow it to be.

example?

my "day jobs" are to numerous to list but they are not "jobs". i do the things i enjoy.

i live and breath for challenges in life ladies and gents.

the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat BOTH make me feel alive.

to many people live there lives in the stands watching the game.

But if you live in a 3rd world....$100,000 has the same purchasing power (perhaps more) then $1,000,000 in a developed world....so you start with $1,000 instead of $10,000, that's all....

I know for a fact that in Peru (because I spent a lot of time there), $100,000 is worth more than $1,000,000 up here in Toronto.

Amen brother. It's where I feel the strongest kinship to you.

I was lucky enough to have adversity very early on in my life that put me onto the path that Jim describes. Without those years of seeking and personal growth I wouldn't even be able to undertake the challenge of learning to trade.

Here's how I view what I am doing with trading:

I am simply taking a year or two off to get good at this so I can have an ease and lack of effort around income. Then I'll be able to throw my energies 100% back to doing what I really love. The journey within. Finding out the truth. Opening my heart. Exploring my true nature.

I encourage you all to think about how your life will look when you have achieved your financial goals. Take a moment to play some nice music, close your eyes, and imagine sunning yourself on your yacht, or looking at your family in the home you've provided for them, or imagining your parents comfortable in your retirement. I revisit my goals often.

Sooner or later you learn that whatever life throws at you it's all part of the curriculum. And the curriculum is compulsory. We will all get to it sooner or later.

Man this stuff fills my heart. It's no coincidence that I found Jim. Truly.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart brother.

Edited to add a couple of quotes:

"As I evolve spiritually (expand consciousness), I have the ability to create more money, but at the same time I am not attached to it."

and one of my favourites:

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. -Rumi

this sounds much better, Sir...
$1000 - $5000 is relatively much attainable here (by about 30-70% of the population, i surmise), in whatever legal way...

You are right here. My salary is 150$/month and i do well with it. So a trading account of 1000$ would be enough for me for a living even if i make 3-4 trades a month.
