My friends used to laugh at my obsession with the markets. I had a
full time job but every spare minute was spent swamped in the markets.
Newsletters, bulletin boards, books, courses, software, data services,
tips and more. Oh man give it a rest! I was working full time just to
pay for all of these.
If it moved I traded it - up and down, back and forth, stocks,
futures, options - I just couldn't give it up. And the trading
results? Well if there had been an award for the world's worst trader,
I would have scooped the prize annually.
Week after week, month after month, cash was draining from my account.
In fact I was only days from being forced to quit trading altogether
as my account was nearly dry. The gut-wrenching feeling in the pit of
my stomach was an almost permanent presence. Do you know the feeling I
mean? The stress was unbearable.
But then one day it happened, I remember it clearly... a trading
friend telephoned almost bouncing with excitement. He told me he had
just read a trading book and that I simply must see it too. A skeptic,
after all these years of disappearing cash, I'd heard it all before
but took the plunge anyway.
Suddenly it all clicked into place and there was a hotlink to my
brain. I soaked up everything I read like a hot dry sponge in a cold
pool of water. Talk about having a smile on your face.
In a flash my trading took off and the profits started rolling in
within days. First a few hundred dollars here, then a few hundred
dollars there, then a few thousand dollars and more. It just kept on
going - I was amazed and wondered where it was going to end. And all
this from an account that was only days from total wipe-out. Can you
imagine the feelings of joy this creates?
