Exactly, banging hookers ( because its legal ) and getting high (because it's legal) needs funding.. What better incentive to improve your trading
1. Be Patient. A sniper, not a machine gunner
2. Only take prime, well practised setups. Otherwise its just gambling
3. Don't get cocky or resentful after the trade, both will lead to bad trades.
4. Enjoy your winnings - In Amsterdam for cookery and debotuary if thats your thing!
NWTD - no idea yet who you really are (or were)
1. Have specific trading entry and exit criteria.
2. Use your specific entry and exit criteria.
3. If you find any desires to use discretionary overrides on your specific trading entry and exit criteria arises from your loins; masturbate, exercise and then go and have breakfast. After that, come back and if your discretionary desire turned out to be a good one, mark it down for further research and if it stands the test of time incorporate it into your specific entry and exit criteria. If you find yourself wantonly exercising whimsical discretionary overrides on an impulsive or immediate basis; masturbate with spiked gloves on; exercise naked in Firth Street on a Friday night whilst being chained to a lamppost and eat breakfast from whatever you can scrape out from the bottom of the Dim Sook F’un garbage can in the morning.
Yeah right. Still, over 3 months (on this site anyway) away from all the distractions was a good effort. You're a junkie and you know it. LOL.But what do you mean by "who you really are (or were)"? I'm afraid I'm new to this forum and don't yet understand its ways and customs.
Glad to hear things are going well. But do take care with the distractions that you don’t overdose. You can end up getting your priorities muddled and finding yourself here rather than there. Done it myself so many times and it takes the long break to get your head straight again. I know you know this, but I felt like saying it anyway, ‘cos I can feel the mist rising for me again, very shortly.Things have been going so well it's almost scary, but I'm finding it hard to occupy myself in between. Over-trading is beckoning, and that way disaster lies.
There's only so much reading and productive stuff one can do, I'm in need of a little distraction.
