The beauty of being a trader

Being a trader is an art. those who can master the arts will be triumphant. I've left my trade open for so long (i guess almost a month) with a hanging loss of 500 pips altogether. It was a difficult situation but I did my best to analyze all possibilities and calculate the movement of the market. As I was confident that my analysis is correct and follow the strict rules of forex trading that i've set it myself, i let go the market and following other things like letting myself busy with my other businesses.  

and today when i opened my forex account: all position has been closed with a minimum profit of 400pips. WACHHAA!!!.... 

along that period of silence (when i didn't trade), i've made few positive steps towards improving my life and my knowledge as a new entrepreneur. few job opportunities came across me but i tried my best to be positive not to easily accept any of it as my objective is to achieve my goal to be a successful entrepreneur. yes life's been a bit difficult but this is the way it should be for every entrepreneur.  there are no such thing as free lunch.  you need to be broke... you need to be working hard... you need to let go of your ego.... you need to be down to earth and learn even though it is hard lesson (like the one i got from my rich dad when i followed his business trip to thailand).  it doesn't matter to me... this is what i should be learning along my way to be an entrepreneur.

maybe i didn't said this before or maybe i already did... for those of you who wants to involve in forex trading as a full time trader... i didn't recommend it.  unless you are a robot then probably you won't make any mistakes... otherwise, just trade on part time basis and use the money you gain from forex trading to open up or expand your own brick-and-mortar business.  life as a forex trader is harsh... sometimes you can't sleep and keep on looking at the chart and hoping that the chart will follow your analysis. for God sake don't do that!.  you just making yourself more uncomfortable, less sleep will end up with your analysis goes wrong.

Me myself have several businesses i've tried to venture before.  some with good returns and some didn't.  i didn't regret my failure in some of my early business because this is all part of my learning process. as long as you keep on trying, i believe in the end, insyaallah your effort will be paid.

p/s: Me always try my best to learn and work and pray.
