Hi,
I am A.G. from the Texas coast. I have been a member for 2 months and will finish pipschool in the next week. I am outlining a trading plan and will start demo trading the basic strategy outlined in the S.O.P (SCHOOL OF PIPSOLOGY) by August 1. Previously, I dabbled in swing trading stocks from a service and from my own analysis. I understood risk mgmt and position sizing but lacked overall discipline. ……didn’t write out my plan or keep a journal.
In demo Iwill practice discipline and keeping that trade journal as I go for that big goal of remaining consistently profitable.
I am at work or commuting 7am to 5:30 pm. Thanks to what I learned in the SOP I know I should focus on longer time frames so I will swing trade off of daily charts. I would like to find or start a group on here that focuses on trading while working the 9 to 5 grind.
I try to stay focused on realistic goals. I would love to quit my job in 2 years and live off of trading…which would require 20 % a month. Realistically, if I could average 20% a year I would be beating a lot of pros.
I am glad I found Babypips. Look for me on the swing trading forums.
