A better July

Hey,

Almost mid way through July now. Been paddling a lot and sometimes still pushing way more than my body can handle. I still keep the routine and am trying to keep motivated now that there is not many others doing this anymore. I try to keep focused on improving myself everyday little by little and that's all that matters I guess. 

On the trading front, I started off the month abit shaken from the bad results in June but now I have found some rhythm again and am taking it one good trade at a time as famously said by mike bellafiore of SMB Capital. I love his work and hope that I too can one day be as successful inthe markets as this guy. Looking forward to the earnings season and a pick up in trade volume and opportunities.

Other than that, I've also started looking abit more seriously for some work to do in the afternoons. I feel that it would help to relieve some pressure that I have from needing to make money trading and it can only be helpful for my PnL as I wouldn't be just forcing trades when opportunities aren't really there. I acknowledge that I am not yet good or experienced enough to properly identify when I should cut back on size and when I should go all in. This will take time and experience to learn and in the mean time some other form of income can help sustain my learning curve.

Also I've decided to learn Japanese on my own on the weekends.  I was recently watching the youtube series by Kotaku's Tim Rodgers - "Let's Mosey": a slow translation of FFVII. I admit this is my favorite game of all time having first played it in 1999. I found the video by accident watching trailers of the new remake that square Enid is producing and I loved how he explained so much differences between the original and translated texts. I was surprised by the differences and kost meaning and decided heck! I have a lot of time now, I might as well try to learn this anyway.

Just got through the entire hiragana and will start on the katakana next week. I love learning new things and this is going to keep me busy for awhile I think.

Till then.
