abdulla1 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 So, you now have a trading system. You devised it, you tested it and you are already using it to trade the market. You may have automated it or you may still have to put your buy and sell orders manually, but for the moment, you really have nothing much to do apart from following your system with ironclad self-discipline. The question is: Now what do you do? If you are one of those traders who reached this stage, the chances are you may have spent your last few months or years arriving at your system and now that you have it, you have spare time. With this spare time, you may find yourself watching the market day in and day out. The danger with doing this is that you create opportunities to feel emotional about every single one of your trades and this may lead to undoing the results of your hard work. You begin to feel elated when you are making money and you might start breaking your rules. Conversely, you may feel down when you are losing money and you start doubting your system and thus, begin disobeying your trading rules. The problem might be that you have a good system and you are simply not giving it enough time for it to work. If you think this is happening to you, consider that it might be best that you only watch the market when your trading system requires you to. You should also consider other ways in which you can best fill your spare time to serve your need to work, find your purpose and create a meaningful life. You must have other interests and ambitions. Personally, I have always wanted to create a business that would serve the planet and millions of people so I can leave behind a legacy when I die. I know this sounds very grandiose but I know that you, the reader, also have similar aspirations deep inside. I know this because we are both human beings and human beings have the need for self-actualisation and self-transcendence (spiritual needs). As a disciplined trader, you have many skills you can apply to business. You create systems, you are analytical, you are creative, you solve problems and you are results-oriented. These are all strengths that you can apply in the world of business. There are many opportunities out there for you to apply yourself and the lessons you learn from trading the financial markets.

myregister Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 If you really happy with your currenct system, then keep going with that, if possible you can adopt one last system as the backup system if in some cases your loss is even bigger than you ever predicted before. So in short keep trading with the current system and learn a bit about other strategy also don't forget to manage your money well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 It is great to be satisfied with what we are doing as if we don’t than there is no way we can be successful. Life is all about enjoying while it is true that we must get positive results to be happy but still if we have the self-confident and we know that we are good enough than sooner or later results will come we just have to be positive and continue with the work we are doing that will easily lead into serious profits for us!
