29 yr trader of ES, NQ, USA(ZB)Gold. Happily married-father of 5. Trad-Catholic. I have made every mistake so you don’t have to. Live in Faith, Hope and Love.
I have talked to 2 traders this week that lost huge amounts of money. I know every feeling that goes into it. You are not alone, any of you. Being a long term profitable trader is not a straight line. I made millions by 35, by 43-44 I was driving Uber 7 days a week to feed my wife & 5 kids. I took a hard look at who I was & how I lived. I took a deep dive into what worked for me trading & what I did to blow up. I was a very well known & experienced CME pit trader. I set about to develop a process of trading that fullfilled 3 requirements, it had to be consistent, repeatable & scalable. At 58 I am healthier, happier, stronger in spite of heart issues and prostate cancer. I have deep and meaningful relationships with people of all ages and all over the world.
This is a marathon not a sprint. There are no shortcuts, no easier softer way. Do the work. It is worth it.
