I absolutely agree! Goal-setting is essential. Fear and greed are your two worst enemies here. Knowing when to get in and out of trades is also something I work on a lot with the training. This type of system does take the 'gambling' aspect out of it though. I wouldn't be doing it if it was like a trip to Vegas. It's a new profession for me, with its rules and practices that are best observed. When you manage the risk, it's no more risky than any other job, and a hell of a lot more profitable and advantageous. However, I do realise that Ferraris aren't going to drop out of the sky and into my lap with this. It's like any other skill you develop, it takes a little time. More for some than for others.
And there's no need to tie yourself in with a company. I'm using one for training purposes, but I can use any brokerage firm (or firms) I like. The whole point of this, for me, is to achieve freedom, flexibility and independence.
It's been good talking with you.
