So this is the day it begins, and the sob story

Hello my friends.

If you're reading this, it's most likely your in a big field of dilusion and pain. Your dreams were smashed. You are probably a smart person who did well in life so far, made a good career for yourself, and somehow you ended up trading for some reason or another.

And then you lost it all-- and I'm not talking about just some extra cash. I'm talking about 30 years of saving and skipping out on all the stuff your friends were enjoying. Eating rice and stuffing rather than a wholesome meal. Not taking vacations or sick leave because it was all about making money. At least that wat it was for me. I started with nothing in life and did quite well, taking every shortcut saving money and cheating myself out of the 'good things'. Maybe you are/were a doctor/lawyer/businessman who thought trading was the next step to an easier life. Maybe you're a dumbass rich kid who daddy gave you 100K to play with. I don't know, and I don't care. This blog is about me, my dreams, my recovery. This is the AA blog of trading.

After yet another week of borrowing something from somewhere, yet I wanted to keep the dream alive-- and it is a dream, most of us fail. I wanted to address the biggest issue. ME. I am the problem. Markets are crazy, HFT screws you every day, news is just silly. Indicators are useful if used JUST right.

I'm using this blog to fix my trading problems. If I save a few from loosing everything, and you end up succesful, than at leats 3 years of my life wasn't waisted on just myself and my future. Maybe I can save yours....
