I am not sure if it’s the big hair, shapely legs in high heeled boots or hour-glass figure 🙂 but people seem to think I am WonderWoman (hahaha). I get a lot of people asking me how’s my trading going along? Duhhhh. If you recall back in May I posted that I’m stepping out of trading as the markets is getting choppy, and also I was powering through finishing the book. With the wet and freezing winter here Down Under, the kids have also needed constant care, so NO, I have not been trading. I have my retirement account I am monitoring but not entering any new trades.
This week, I am preparing to start trading actively again, with the book project winding down, the wild swings of the market slowly easing, this week is a BIG week.
I need to remind myself to be careful though. Last weekend, I saw my family overseas via online video. Both my parents, I am glad to report, look healthy but I can’t help noticing that they were sporting more grey hair than before. They were so happy to see my kids and their antics. I feel like going home to visit them again this year. I feel more motivated to do more trades to make money for that trip.
So I thought I’d share with you Step 1 of my Trading process, in preparing to trade :
- Need to get motivated, but not too motivated. hehehe With this, I need to be aware of my motivations, and keep it at a helpful level, to get me up and prepare to trade but not overdoing things.
- Remind myself that with study and adequate preparation, I can do this!
- Trust and center myself and with the grace of God, use all of what I’ve learned and learn more to improve myself.
Think planting season. Before you put the seeds into the soil, the soil has to be dug up to a good depth, loosened up and ready for a fresh start.
