11.31<\/a> and added today above 12..Currently up about 8% on that 1..I am getting to the point where I have enough to trade my own $……..As always, thanks for the advice..I started this journey 2 years ago on my own, and have never had any one whom I can get quality advice from. My P&L goal for 2010 was to make 75k, up from 50k last year. 3 months into the year I have already hit that goal. I don’t want to get too ahead of myself, but do I now re-write my P&L goals and set the bar higher? Again, thank you very much for the advice – I really appreciate it!<\/p>\nBella Responds:<\/p>\n
Very well done reaching your goals so quickly! \u00a0It has not gone unnoticed by this author how hard you work and your commitment to reach out to others for ideas on trading progress. \u00a0The reason why you hit these goals so early may be that you were so willing to find ways to get better. \u00a0Very well done David!<\/p>\n
It is time now for you to tear up those goals and write some new ones. \u00a0One of the great things about working hard, trying to get better everyday, working on your game, is that one day you might wake up and be so much better than you ever thought you would be. \u00a0This is the gift of hard work.<\/p>\n
When setting your new goals consider the process. \u00a0What things do you need to do everyday that will make you better, allow you to be in more excellent risk\/reward opportunities- with more size that you can handle?<\/p>\n
Congratulations on your success. \u00a0It was well deserved!<\/p>\n
