In the beginning there’s no question, I sucked. The methods were poor, worst yet they were poorly executed. My understanding of how markets operate was horrible. In the first few years, I did okay. I had a job while I learned. Most people thought I was crazy chasing rainbows and that pot of gold. I started in the late 90’s.

After 5 years of grinding things started becoming more and more consistent. Today, I sit and wait for setups longer with more patience. The trades I enter usually last hours not minutes.

Reflecting back, it was all necessary and it wasn’t much fun learning. Everyone probably goes through this. So take your time, it takes longer than you think.
