listen...
Listen, something good is bound to come out of my 79 systems.
Yesterday I was at just 66 systems. Between yesterday and today, I've put together another 3. I have another 10 futures to go, and hopefully at the end I will have my 79 systems.
The things, in random order, I should keep in mind from now on are the usual ones:
1) Do not expect to make 100% a month, lol, like I've been doing for the past several years. Do not expect it from your discretionary trading, do not expect it from your systems. You'll just end up with making it happen two months per year, and blowing out your account for the rest of the year. You want to make money in the long run or just to break a world record for one month and blow out your account for the rest of the year?
2) Do not expect all your systems to work. Do not expect any system to be magic, nor have good "feelings" about any system. Do not get attached to any system. Not just this, do not expect half of your systems to work. You can rely on about 25% of your systems to work enough to be traded. Some of them might have a drawdown too large to be traded, so you might even be able to just trade a few systems. So what? The objective is to preserve capital, make it grow, and not, once again, to blow out your account.
And now I'll go to buy my goddamn melatonin by the kilos. E' un mondo difficile...
E' un mondo difficile
e vita intensa
felicita' a momenti
e futuro incerto...
