Calling it a month. (Knowing when to walk.)

Hi all...

Well, this isn't a bad post like you would think.

I am happy to report that I am up 4.08% for November. This really isn't bad when you consider that this has been a turbulent month in the Foreign Exchange. I mean REALLY TURBULENT. (For at least as long as I have been watching it.)

Plus, add the fact I am quitting smoking, getting married December 1st, and found out recently there is a baby on the way.....it's been a full month. I truly feel fortunate to have the 4.08%. Not to mention that compounded over the year - it's a 60% return. Nothing to sneeze at.



*** Don't listen to the morons out there claiming that 60% isn't much, most professional managers are considered good if they get 20-30%. ***



Seriously, sometimes there is a lot going on that can distract you from making good trades. This is one of those times.

However, come Monday.....I'm coming for my next 4%.

In the meantime, I am too worried about other things. Not to mention I am "excited" about trading at the moment. This can be as dangerous as being "afraid", or probably even worse. Trading with a sense of invincibility probably isn't a good thing.

I am sure I will be much, much, calmer come next week. And calm nerves are what makes great traders.


Have a great weekend everyone.....there won't be anything for me to post until end of next week.
