Season End break/ 3rd Month Full time Day trading
Hi,
The past weeks have been a good break from the rigidity of a structured training programme. It was a much needed break from the season which turned out unsuccessful in my push for an Asian Games Spot in the K2 1000m. The guys who represented us did well against the asian nations in Indonesia and i really wished that i could have been there to show my progress from the 2014 Asian Games. Congratulations to them for the good results. I will try again with more focus this season and hope to make the jump.
Been spending the past few weeks just doing an hour of whatever exercising i felt like. It ranged from a run, cycle, swim, weights, ergo paddling to just nothing much. Its nice to do whatever you want sometimes and i enjoyed the sessions without commitment to push hard or to finish a certain amount of sets.
The free time also allowed me to do more reading and learning about how to improve my trading skills. I read some books that were recommended to me and also watched and listened to a ton of videos online which were great resources. What i have learnt is that skill and knowledge does not play as huge a role when compared with the psychology of trading. The skills are all there but how a person reacts to a trade seem to matter more on whether the trade goes well or not. Most of the time, the entry will determine how successful a trade goes. I also learnt that patience plays a huge role in the success of a trade.
I've managed to finish my 2nd full month green as well! It started really slow and i didnt have much success in the first week. Then things started to pick up and i gradually started to regain more confidence in myself. I guess this is the traders lifestyle. You never know what is going to happen.
I do enjoy it. In the past 3 months of really trading, I feel more intune with the markets now. I'm also starting to gain confidence and execute trades on my own calls. Hopefully, i can continue to remain in the zone and will be able to have longevity in this brutal game.
Next week the structured training comes back in. Looking forward to getting back into shape and we will see how things go.
Till then,
zeke
