Trick Personal Notes Serial 010: The Six Digits Trader

For which of you, desiring to construct a tower, does non firstly sit down downward as well as count the cost, whether he has plenty to consummate it? Otherwise, when he has set a foundation as well as is non able to finish, all who take in it commence to mock him, saying, ‘This human began to construct as well as was non able to finish.’ Or what king, going out to encounter some other manful individual monarch inward war, volition non sit down downward firstly as well as deliberate whether he is able amongst 10 thou to run into him who comes against him amongst xx thousand?

Everybody has a dream. But dreams are non without cost.

It was the in conclusion quarter of 2010, I holler upwards having the typical Filipino dream of going abroad to work, go as well as take in the public as well as hence retire at a ripe historic menstruum as well as come upwards dorsum to construct a dainty delineate of piece of work solid somewhere nigh a beach. I also holler upwards that I haven't actually figured out what I wanted to do. It would receive got been dainty to live able to create what you lot want, receive got fun as well as larn paid for it. DOTA 2 as well as eGames wasn't that much of a affair that time.

After some fourth dimension observing the markets I understood that making +5% to every bit much every bit +50% inward a twenty-four hours was really possible. But of course of educational activity I had to live realistic hence +10% every calendar month for a twelvemonth would do. I hence began to imagine the possibilities. For for sure I'm non the exclusively crazy bastard right?

I was aware that losses tin lav laissez passer on every bit well, but who cared most losses really? When you lot await for a undertaking or start a business, create you lot await at the terms or risks first? No. You await at the potential profits. Kaya nga nag hanap ng trabaho or patayo ng delineate of piece of work concern para kumita diba? I was immature as well as foolish.

One argue why people consider going total fourth dimension inward trading is when they sense gaining profits equal or greater than their salaries amongst lesser fourth dimension than they would amongst their jobs. 

My salary or allowance during my practicum abroad (before graduating college) was to a greater extent than or less 18-21k php. It was a practiced amount since I was fantabulous at saving, but it was barely plenty for anything extra I wanted to create or have.

...

And hence that twenty-four hours came.

In only ii days, I was able to gain iii months worth of my salary. I felt I could conquer the world. It was at that instant when I decided to go total fourth dimension afterward I complete my contract as well as graduate from college. 

I finally constitute what I wanted to do.

I decided to go total fourth dimension into trading amongst a 6-digit port. I didn't know it was a suicide mission. And past times total fourth dimension trading, I hateful non getting a undertaking or delineate of piece of work concern as well as only dedicating my fourth dimension as well as loose energy to the markets every bit my sole root of income.

You see, at that spot are many traders out at that spot who would nation that newspaper losses are okay; that it is okay to "sit it out" because eventually it volition recover. But you lot see, hurting demands to live felt. It demands your immediate attention. If you lot allow a injure go untreated, it gets worse as well as could eventually plow lethal.

This is the divergence betwixt total fourth dimension traders as well as those who are only wannabees. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 wannabee tin lav commit a error or a loss as well as stick to that loss. They tin lav live incorrect every bit long every bit they want, until they eventually go correct as well as nation "I told you lot so." They tin lav afford to feed their egos because they receive got a backup innovation - it could live a undertaking or delineate of piece of work concern or mayhap they only receive got a lot of coin - a fallout shelter when everything falls apart. 

A total fourth dimension 6-digits trader however, doesn't receive got this luxury. Pride as well as ego won't seat nutrient inward his table. Every merchandise volition hateful life or decease to him. There is no backup plan. If he wishes to last inward the confront of a grave mistake, he accepts the loss as well as cuts to merchandise some other day.

There's this even out I've read somewhere. It was most this King going into nation of war amongst some other from a faraway kingdom. He sent his whole regular army across the continent amongst their best ships. When the armada reached shore as well as finished making camp, the lord commander of the king's regular army straight off ordered the burning of their ships.

As the post away started to eat the shoreline as well as lit upwards the black night, the lord commander announced to the king's regular army "We receive got burnt our finest ships. The exclusively means nosotros are going dorsum domicile is to win this war!"

This was the form of province of affairs I constitute myself in. My send was burning. There was no turning back. The kingdom was the prize. Home was the dream.

It wasn't easy. There were seasons of battles where I lost. I questioned my volition as well as sanity many times. 

"Have I made the correct choice?"  

I ventured into this public amongst my family's blessing. I had to convey them honor. I had to present them I was a warrior. That I could select assist of myself amidst all the uncertainties that the marketplace position brings. And I failed. Many times. But every unmarried fourth dimension I brutal downward to my knees as well as started to lose hope, I constitute myself inward the presence of the Lord of Heaven's Armies. 

"Do you lot believe?" 

"I silent do. You didn't post me hither to larn by for a dream as well as die."

"Get up!" He said. "I volition larn by for you lot as well as convey you lot to your destiny!" 

The residual was history.

You aren't lone inward this nation of war - attempt out the Lord of Heaven's Armies. Believe. Receive.
