This is my process, my experience, what I am learning (or trying to learn) on what I like to call:
My Hike 2 Freedom
Corny? that is OK, I like corny.
Some background: I am learning the skill of trading, and I have been at this a long time and have spent and lost lots of money... so I am working on breaking those behaviors that have resulted in all of the loss-making in the past. As a result, I am in a trade room (a new one, info is at the end of the post) that has a proven trader. How do I know that? Because it has been verified through a trusted 3rd party.
So I have made a commitment to mirror his trades for 90 days in an effort to work on my patience, practice in being a consistently profitable trader (#cpt), and earn a trading account trading others people's money. (Again, info at the end of the post).
So how did I do?
4 days! I did great, followed wins and loses... but I mirrored Ty (the trader in the room) damn close!
Day 5 - [See here}(https://steemit.com/trading/@carlsalyer/day-5-fell-off-the-wagon) but you know after reading the title. lol!
So today is Day 1 or should I say Day 1a?
I will stick with Day 1 - and look! I am doing great... what a great start - I am perfect in mirroring Ty's trades today Saturday!
Yea, I know. No trading on Saturday's (or Sunday's, even though technically you can - I won't because Ty doesn't), but it is Day 1 and I am taking some time to review and recommit to this and will post about this on trading and non trading days... because I am using this as part of my process.
I am also hoping to show others that they can show others that they can gain freedom, but I need to do that 1st. But once I do, for those that say -
"Well, for you it was easy!"
I will be able to point them to posts like this and yesterday's. And tell them that I got knocked down a lot, but I kept getting up!
So for the week, my trading account is up +$23.08! Well, thanks to following Ty, the week didn't put me in a hole money wise! Will update Ty's info when he posts it in the room.
But more importantly, I am recommitted to this process and will continue to practice patience, acceptance of what I am committed, and being grateful for the opportunity to learn the skill of being a consistently profitable trader.
