After further review ....

I wanted to write a real quick entry before I headed out this morning.

First, thanks to everyone who has posted a comment on my blog recently encouraging me. I have found it difficult in the trading business to keep things in perspective at times. Trading really puts a person's ego right there on the line. You make a decision and you know very shortly whether you are right or wrong. When you are wrong a considerable amount of time, it takes a pretty optimistic person to keep their chin up and keep fighting. It also takes a well-grounded person to always keep things in perspective, and to remember what is truly important in life such as spiritual and personal relationships.

I had a chance this weekend to take a step back and reflect on my journey so far. In particular, I looked at my thought process and what I was placing first in my life. I have to say I am ashamed. However, I am ready to move forward from here, and give this trading thing another go around for a few more months. This time I will remind myself daily of what needs to be important to me, and I will try to do a better job of keeping things in perspective. Oh and maybe picking up a second job will help keep me busy and keep my mind of trading in my down time.
