Starting To Win

Well it has been a while but I am back in the ring (so to speak).
The last few years have not been kind but great lessons learnt. The main lesson I did learn was not to let other people make decisions for you.

After getting back on my feet once I had healed form the Spinal surgery (great Doctor), I invested in some shares and listened to my broker...... I know ... I know..... well the old saying is true, we did part (me and my money). The annoying thing wwaas that I saw the crash coming but was waiting for just one more high.....oops. Got that wrong. Boy was I clever.

It was a turning point though as after I had wallowed for 6 months mourning all the money I had lost I realised there was only one thing to do. Get back on the horse !!

So hear I am.

A few moths since that decision but I am going forward. I have focussed in on my trading. As Richard Russell states in a famous letter he wrote, :.If you are really serious about making money, get into the money business". http://ww1.dowtheoryletters.com/ (See the perfect business document).

I am currently studying with Alexander Tsavaras from Pride Trading and finding it excellent but hard work. I will continue to update my blog as I go and from here I wanted to share my purpose that I have arrived at...

I am an intraday trader and my goal by year end is to have earnt $100K from trading. To do this I will trade the EroStoxx, the Dax and the SPI.

Well there it is and here I go..........
