Hello Everyone!

Hello guys and girl.

I'm opening this blog first of all is to track my trading performance, second of all, if it could help you guys in any way, then I would be very glad.

My story is short but not so sweet and I believe what I've gone through in my trading endeavor is what every aspiring trader probably has to suffer. It's no easy, no short-cut way to make money in this game, and probably in this world. There're no free lunch in this world as the old saying goes. I guess probably everything has it very own cost. If you want to make easy money, you could do that by selling illegal stuffs, doing illegal activities but you could probably end up in jail or constantly paranoid about what is going to happen. If you want to make money properly, legally.. then it's another story. The easiest way probably is going to school, having a degree and get the 9 to 5 job. You get a decent job and struggle to live a good life. Well, in order to archive the degree, it's 5 years of trying, then you start making money to struggle to live with it. It's reality, 5 years to master a skill to earn some money.

Hence comes a question that every aspiring trader probably wonders "Why trading is so different?" The answer is rather an easy one: It's the same, you need year and year to master it to be able to make some money with it. For me, I've gone more than 1 year with it. Any profit? ya a bit methinks, but it has been sleepless nights and mixed emotions: fear, greed, happiness, terrifying, scary, absolute joy, thinking of quitting... Every emotion you could have, you'll express it in trading. It's so real, so scary to looking back. During that periods, I've lost my account money but I win on different contest, in fact I made around 2k of winning money from contest, that's good money, but it's trading with freedom, and you could see, without emotion, how easy trading could be. It's about cutting your loss short and letting your winner run, so easy the philosophy but so hard the application. So that's it for now, I'll keep you guys update about my trading journal, my trading technique, my account balance, my life, what I found interesting on the net, basically everything; so following, comment, I promise that it'll be a worthwhile journey.

Thank you for reading.
