Enact Your Own Gold Rush

Trading the markets may not be your calling.  But whatever you are currently doing for a living, I believe, the allure of the markets allow us to undertake our very own gold rush.  To chase our dreams of prosperity that will allow us to help others around us and beyond.

So with a reasonable stake and an online account we should be able to prosper, right?  Well not exactly.  In answer to the phrase “many are called but few are chosen”. (It is said that 95% of traders fail).  It is obvious to me that in order to be in the top 5%, we must have persistence.

I think we can all agree that persistence is immensely important in any endeavour.  As inevitably there will be defeats along the way, despite our best efforts.  So I believe persistence is a common denominator between the haves and the have not’s.  Those that persist will make it, those that don’t, won’t. 

Einstein had a great quote that describes persistence better than I have ever heard it “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer”.  I just love this quote!

For me, I have not had an easy path to trading success, I have had many obstacles placed in my way also.  But this IS my calling and I persisted until I had developed an amazing system and built my confidence in the system, first in testing, then in application using real money. It has been a long road, but I like being in the top 5% and I intend to stay there.  My hope is that I can help others get there also.

May today be a profitable day…for all of us.
