When You Have a Bad Trading Day ...

Perspective is a word I love. When it comes to trading there are so many key principles to keep in mind. Perspective, discipline, commitment, (add our key term here).

We all have bad days, and we ought to. Nothing good ever comes out of something that is easy.

Tonight I read an article about a woman who spent almost 60 years living inside a 7-foot-long tube. She died tonight. A power failure cut the breathing device's electricity.

When things go against you, don't worry. When you have a bad day, don't dwell on it. Like life, everything in trading is a learning experience. Few people have the will to see success through in their trading.

Wednesday a woman lost her life, not because of her will, but probably because it was time. Her spirit moves on, yet to me it provides an example that if we put our mind to it, we can do anything.
