Torn between both worlds, money or love?

True that!
So let’s make the money! :smiley:

Things dont just happen in life because and when you want them to unless those goals depends exclusively on your self. and for what i see the only thing that you can control right now is trading. Trading can get you laid anytime you want if you are profitable. It can buy you as meny divorces and marriages as you like. But whatever way you go, remember to always put a stop loss.
remember, life always has much more imagination than you do.

Friend do not forgo fx, continue, when u master the mkt you can be trading without worries, you can calculate and put pending orders and go to sleep, trade long term and be awake only when important news is expected

Change your trading style or move to Europe!
BUT if I had to choose one or the other, love would always come first! I am a trader and have a Wife and 2 kids (and another on the way).

The best women come when you are being yourself in a positive aspect. Avoid negative thoughts and live your dream! Don’t worry about finding someone or you will create negative thought.

Positive thought + proper environment = Women wanting you

You can go as far as you want with that initial curiosity, it’s all up to you. :slight_smile:

Hi Fartist,

PLAN! Plan your trades! Being in the corporate world is not going to be any better or it might be worse. Trust me! I’m still in the corporate world. Have you ever heard of couples breaking up because they wanna chase up the coporate ladder?

Cheers!

You can’t divorce, pay child support, attorney fees or alimony to trading.

If the hours are a problem to your love life move to a different time zone.

I wish I started my trading business before I had a kid. Much harder to get things done now I have son, wife house cars etc. Just gives me extra drive to succeed though.

Or better still move to a higher time frame. When you trade daily or weekly charts you have all the time in the world. That’s my experience.

Dude the key is organising yourself well: proper time management. Have fixed trading hours and don’t deviate from it and you will find the extra effort rewarding rather than exhausting.

I don’t know how long you have been trading but if you have a passion for trading you will evolve with it and nothing should get in a way to distract you from trading. If you truly love trading, time should go fast and not become boring. For love or trading, I say forget love and keep trading. Make $$$ and everyone will want to be around you. No money no honey. If you take trading seriously, then it should be your career, your profession and nothing should compare to it.

Make money first, it’s the foundation of the rest of your life. Find a hobby to do during that 55 minutes or use that time to make your trading even more efficient.

My wife is the foundation of my life, and my kids - seriously this thread has become a little depressing!

I’ve heard the saying, [I]you loose money chasing women but you never lose women chasing money[/I]. I’m not sure if there is a female equivalent. At first I was impressed with this, but now it seems trite.

yeah, they will soon find out that money is not everything. there is a lot more out there beyond money.

Haha i know. I don’t know why all these people here are talking about money being more important than love. And as if it’s that easy with forex anyway. If you cant decide, screw forex and just get on with your life and be happy. There’s lots of things you can do. Forex is a very lonely thing. It’s not even worth it with how really hard it is.

From what i can gather if you’re doing Forex Full Time and having to contemplate this much about leaving it behind to look for love, then you can’t be doing too bad with it. In that case i’d suggest sticking with it for a while as consistency is key, wake up earlier and go get a morning coffee somewhere, get out and socialise early, then you can come home and trade afternoon evening if that’s when you do it. If you are really good at it then theirs no reason why you can’t balance trade and play and eventually make enough money to step back from it a little and focus more on finding love :slight_smile:

I’d love an update from this guy!

A proper awesome ending would be great, something like, “I hit the party scene & as soon as I mentioned FX, everyone knew what I was talking about & were interested; I was the life & soul of the party. My trading was going well so when we hit the clubs, it was bottles of Cristal all round. It was there that I met an amazing, funny, beautiful & rich woman (personality & body to die for) & we are since married with 3 kids.”

I’m not sure what’s more of a stretch: the wife & 3 kids in the month & a half since the initial post or the bit where everyone knows about FX & is actually interested.

the reality is a lot of people have NO idea what trading is. i won’t mention specifics, but in 1 popular forum, there is just one handful of us forex traders posting there. those who post on the stocks forum are only about 20 to 40 people. about 80-90% of them are new or clueless about it all. not to mention some of these newbies have the guts to be confrontational when I dish out trading truths and realities :smiley:

I wish I have seen this post as soon as it came out. Anyway….

In a woman perspective, we value more the TIME spends on us versus money. Time is much more valuable than money because you can use your time to make money, but you can’t use money to purchase more time.

True money can buy us things, taking us to a nice restaurant , treat us to a nice vacation, etc. Those are great things (and we do like them) but the one that sticks the most are the small little things that our man do to us in a very small way but with a lot of thoughts in it such as writing small little love note, fixing stuff around the house and or cars, cook for us, or simply just chill out and having good conversation …things like that. I am not saying that our man should not spend time to their career that they choose (of course we do like them to succeed too) but if you will choose which one is the most important…it is time versus money.

With that being said, if the OP still torn between money and love, I would say follow where his heart is and I do think that he really wants to find the “right” women for him. I really hope he do while he is young. He can come back to trading again anytime he wants to. Once he decided to come back to trading again with the support of his future wife besides him…… I think he will do just fine.

Besides, what is the point of making money without any body to share it with?

Well, men does it too (if it is a couple)…Sharing is caring :slight_smile:

It should be OUR money…not his or her… That is how relationship works…
