I would also recommend “High Probability Trading” by Marcel Link. This book does a great job of providing a reality check for beginning traders.

I am blessed. Being a mentor to professional traders, I meet, help and make friends with the most amazing people.

Bob is a great example of one of these remarkable people.

In our first meeting, two years ago, I realized that Bob was someone who had a good chance of making it as a trader. It has been gratifying to watch Bob’s progress as a trader based on his intelligence, discipline and perseverance.

I am proud of being a part of Bob’s journey toward success over the past two years.

I value his friendship and I respect the person he is both professionally and personally.

Comment on How long does it take? Ask Bob from Beulah by gregorfx

Yes, we need to grow at our own pace. Can you imagine one tree saying to another : “How come you can grow so fast and I don’t?” and putting itself under extra pressure? That certainly can’t help him grow faster. And nature doesn’t do that by the way. It “allows” ….

Or if you ask yourself woud you go to a doctor that has only a quick 9 month education class?

This trader may not be bad in 9 months and it makes you think like that is achieveable to rest of us. Well, if you have all the right beliefs and trading attitudes from the beginnig, overall balance in life, you are healthy and have no money worries etc. and on top of that you get a great mentor, well, of course your path to trading success accelerates.

But if you don’t have those essentials in play you first need to make them and that takes time. So you realy cannot force a flower to grow… you can only provide what she need to grow and then… wait for a miracle that happens.

Comment on How do you trade when volatility explodes? Part two of my series “May you live in interesting times” by mstrupp

mstrupp — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:29:35 +0000

I’ll be honest. I hope that the current volatility we’ve seen (especially last week) doesn’t continue. I recently explained why this is to my wife. In my trading, I’m like the guy who runs the local convenience store. On a normal day, I do a lot of transactions and try to make a little bit of money on each one. While I will try to take advantage of a big move if I can anticipate it, it’s not central to my success.

Now, if there is a hurricane or riot, I could make the decision to remain open and gouge people, hoping to make the big score under very uncertain times. However, by doing so, I run the risk of being looted or over-run. To me, that’s not a plan for long-term success.

Instead, I have “boarded up my store”, am doing not so many trades, not adjusting my already-tight risk-to-stop parameters and waiting for this storm to pass. I may be wrong, but then my downfall will be a slow burn rather than a big blowup, which at least gives me the time and opportunity to adjust things if I ultimately decide that is what I have to do. However, right now, I don’t think that’s the case.
