Sian....

Hi All,

Today marks my lowest Equity Chart of my trading career... To say I am not affected by it is lying :D For the past 2 days, I couldn't even get myself to do my own Equity Chart. It is rather dreadful... hahaha

But I told myself that I promised myself and everyone that I will do it to give a truthful picture of what I have went through instead of just selling a rosy picture :) Hence, today I did it out finally after much resistance and reluctance of showing the truth...

God Bless me and my trading :)

  2. Hey bro,

    No worries, things will turn up (or down, depending on whether you're long or short!) soon! It's in the darkness that we can see the stars... :)

    Any trader will experience ups and downs... that's the nature of the beast - all in a day's work for a trader! In a market's consolidation phase there will tend to be more false signals, whipsaw... But in a strongly trending market we will be singing in the rain and getting groggy from all cartwheels we'll be performing... :)

    We can count ourselves lucky that we've been following Courtney's 0.25 to 1% risk per trade rule - some trading systems advocate 5-10% risk per trade - imagine what would have happened if we'd be following those systems instead?

    On a positive note, imagine how we're all sharpening our saws right now, learning to trade in choppy seas and getting our sea legs. When the seas turn calmer, we'll be able to run on water!

    Thanks for all the help you've given us these few weeks, really appreciate it! Haha if you were a stock I'd buy you - based on the fact that you always give great value and always seek to improve!

    Keep on moving!

    Cheers!
