Reality Check
There is only a handful of traders who I can say are better than me. That was how I thought of myself sometime ago. I worked alone all the time and rarely asked for help, never listened to others’ opinions. Then there was a reality check, I flunked with my transactions several times in a row. That was when I realized that my good fortune was made only out of that – good fortune. I was just riding on a string of luck. Then I started listening to the other traders. Their inputs and stuff.
I surfed the web for anything more that I could learn. Read the market more carefully. From then on I was no longer riding on luck, I was doing the best swing trading and best day trading with the best financial blog around. Now, I am more consistent with my work and not relying generally on gut feel and fortune.
