WOW, I just read this post, AMAZING Especially these and can relate People who glue their butts to their chairs. Look at their computer desks and you're likely to see lots of coffee rings and crumbs. You get out of something only what you put into it. If you aren't willing to take notes, take some initiative, keep a journal and spend a lot of time watching stocks I think the most important thing to do is to develop a system that you have confidence in. But I tell you, if you don't get that under control and learn to trade like you don't need the money -- with control and a system, leaving out emotion -- you are not going to make it. sometimes I forget its real money..lol Fantastic post, person mark :)
