Sometimes we get lost in the need for money.
Sometimes we need a friend to wake us up…
Trading for a Living Versus Earning a Paycheck
Trading is not punching a clock for a 9-5 paycheck.
We chose to be in charge.
We made a decision to go for the big bucks.
Now we need to make the decision to run our trading like a real entrepreneur.
There will be days our store is slow.
Get used to it, be a responsible money manager.
Slow down.
Be patient.
Every day is not busy.
When the market is obvious, then we can be aggressive
Friday’s Heat Map
Today’s Heat Map (Monday)
Great traders adapt to the market.
They don’t force the market to produce what isn’t there.
Forcing trades results in one thing.
A lighter trading account.
Struggling traders are adding to positions and giving losers too much room.
Pay attention and keep a good trading journal.
The back-and-forth we are having is a lesson.
How much that lesson costs is up to you…
Have you reserved your spot for our new Pre Market Game Plan meetings?
Join us here, we plan to discuss this topic and much more.
