Monthly Report: January 2018

Monthly Report: January 2018

January has been the best month in my trading career to date. Bullish market, stocks ceilings here and there, hype due to third telco speculations. A lot of good trades happened this month. Most traders I'm following really earned a lot on this bull run, including myself.

Last December, I purged my account to zero then took some rest in trading for the last 2 weeks of 2017. Then on Jan 03, I reset my account with 100,000 buying power. I traded and recorded all my trades.

So here's the result of my trading in January. I'm a little bit close to my target Year-to-date which is to attain DYM or Double-your-money. I hope I could earn that within the first 3 months of the year. I could've earned more if not for my mistakes and poor decisions. Ms. Market has been good to me. I hope she won't get tired of me.

(Off topic)
I also received the good news that I'm being promoted to 2nd Officer. By March I would start working as 2nd Officer on board. I feel that 2018 would be the best year for me, both in trading and career. Thank you Lord.

I will protect my capital no matter what. (repeat 1000 times)

The Final Countdown

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

721 days from now (09 Jan 2018), I will leave my career and trade full time. 

I'm challenging myself today to prepare for this one big step, to retire from my career as a Seafarer, to get out of my comfort zone. I would dedicate this year (2018) in studying. Focusing on trading consistently, following boss Zeefreaks.

The results of my trading in 2017 hit me really hard. That was my wake up call. I almost wiped out my portfolio. I gave in my hard-earned money to Ms. Market because of my negligence. I admit it. I traded without a system, without conviction. I traded without knowing the reason WHY? Why am I trading everyday, monitoring the market as early as 2:30 in the morning due to time difference. When I learned about boss Zee and his ZFT family, I realized a lot. I acknowledged my mistakes. The tuition has been paid.

Now, I challenge myself to become like them. To be profitable and consistent with my trades. I would focus on learning. My objective is not the rewards, but the consistency on my trades. Hopefully at the end of this year I would learn a lot. And for 2019, I would be testing if I'm really capable of going full time.

First on my bucket list for this year is The Rift: Live (Singapore). I'm so excited to meet boss Zeefreaks and some of the ZFT members. See you there!
