Plan Your Financial Wealth

I spoke to traders who spend all waking hours focused on negotiation. While this may be fine for some, it’s not for me, I know because I used to be that guy. I originally became interested in negotiating because I wanted to be rich and have time to do what I wanted. I have a compulsive nature to begin with, and I hunger for knowledge. This combination led me to work constantly to learn more about negotiation. I kept a job full time and studied the strategy of negotiating the night, often until midnight only to get up at 4:30 the next morning to go to work. Study the markets were a day, 7 weeks a thing for me. This lasted for a few years.

From time to time I personally met other traders and met some through the net. Over time, I noticed that some operators do not have excessive attention to trading as I did. Most have only a handful not. had thought that one day if I work hard enough, I’d like them. Then one day I met a man who changed my thinking. Through our discussions about trade, I realized that it began around the same time as me. He has not had much experience I had and it was obvious that his knowledge of the market is not as important as me.

What is curious is that he exchanged only 2 hours a day and does not work another job. The rest of his time, he plays golf and spent time with his family. I asked hoping he would share his secret formula for negotiating with me. To my surprise he did not have a secret weapon for commercial markets. Instead he had a secret weapon for life in general. ENJOY IT! That day I realized that I had completely lost sight of my original goal to have more time. I ran completely in the opposite direction. Instead of releasing the negotiation of a job, it became more work than my job has actually been. My percentage of winning trades was not where I wanted it and thought I could learn my way to a better percentage.

After talking with him, I decided to take a break from negotiating and come back with a new perspective. When I started to trade, I allowed myself to spend 2 hours per day on the negotiations. I was much more relaxed and I have exchanged less often. This proved to be great, my win percentage went because I was more selective in my business and I was not stressed about everything. Today, I enjoy life more and trading is what I thought it might be …. Thank you Robert

Remember there is more to life than trading. Life is short to spend every hour trying to make the next big market. And if this next step does not occur in your life, then what have you won. Trading is wonderful and I love him but I’m not going to sacrifice my life and happiness of those I love for her. I have a life I intend to enjoy it.
