So what if I got in over my head a few years ago and followed the vague, misleading advise of my Forex broker. He’s only human. Why should I have expected him to look out for my best interests? So what if I lost my entire investment portfolio because I panicked, went without sleep and tried every indicator/system I could get my hands on without fully understanding what it was I was playing with. Now is all that matters. Happiness is my daily goal. Happiness attracts good decisions, good company and good fortune, even if it is measured under a ‘micro’ scope.
Who I am is paramount in this or any endeavor I choose; therefore, I must be constantly aware of my work schedule, my family responsibilities, my exercise routine and any unexpected disturbances.
This seems like a good place for my weekly mantra:
- My brain is a super computer
- My brain sees and understands things that are far too complex for a Dual Core Pentium
- I must feed my brain visual input, the more the better
- I must feed my brain economic data, and always add a dash of salt
- Even though I am the master of many things, the market can and does move in strange ways and often. Always cover thy longs with shorts and vices-versa
- Scenarios are my friends. Create many, embrace them all, but do not get married to one. My ex-wife was a scenario
- My journal is my sanctuary. Use it religiously. Do not attempt to write it in stone. God already tried that. A laptop is much more portable, duh!
- Avoid the words of those who think they are better than God or worse than the devil. Strive instead to be something every day.
My 1,001 trades worth of experience has taught me to first look at the Forex in its entirety on a weekly basis. Experience has taught me that my preditions are at least as good as my former brokers. Experience has taught me to create 3 scenarios for possible weekly price action. Experience has taught me to keep this fun, so that I want to do it, there by making it less of a chore and more like play time. Make exercise fun, like all things, it too should be a celebrations of life and the freedom that life brings. The bible has taught me to be like the children with an open mind, striving for nothing more than the wonderment of the universe. Go forth in thy quest and reap the bounty of the Forex universe.
Note to self: Do not provide signals. Do not receive signals.
