The purpose of this diary is about submitting transactions, and a site about the parallel nature between spirituality and trading. I expect that others will benefit from it, and that a number of the points resonate with some thing that you can#8217;t entirely put into words.
I have been studying forex for nearly two decades. I trade part-time, like I maintain a day job. During the most extreme parts of my forex journey I had been researching, studying, studying charts, etc upwards of 4-5 hours a night, and 14 hours a weekend.
When I first started learning forex it was something that appealed to me greatly, I wasn#8217;t certain what exactly about it. At first admittedly much of it had been financial liberty more then anything else. I blew two accounts at the start, just one small, one big (Relatively, but #8217;s all that matters). Many months after I realized how ardently trading resonated with my deepest spiritual self. The self that's mindful of the thinker. This wasn't only something that I could do for a profession, but something that would parallel my primary purpose in life 8211; to be self-aware. From self-awareness comes true liberty, joy, and clarity. I'd found my internal martial art, the mirror that would teach me, and truly put the power of abune directly in my own hands. I'd found my path.
The more I learn, and the more I encounter with trading the more enamored with it I become. The difficult times are the times which produce the most internal expansion and bring you closer to your goals. Whenever you're in a challenging spot, always remember this actuality.
I no longer have any query on whether I will triumph. It#8217;s the fact that in my mind, I have already succeeded. Time will simply must pass before I encounter more in my journey.
I had many revelations, #8220;paradigm shifts#8221;, even moments of satori. Many times things only #8220;clicked#8221;. The biggest shift, and also the one that eventually changed all, was that the previous shift. The shift to practicing patience.
At the core is self-awareness #8211; the capacity to stay focused in the present moment - above the noise of the endless (and illusory) thoughts of past and future.
Your mind always wants something to do #8211; it#8217;s not quiet. People are always in a rush. People don#8217;t want to await anything, particularly standing in lineups with nothing else to occupy the mind. Fast food, 30 second commercials, preprocessed foods to the max, diet pills. This sickness of course, does not automatically disappear when you begin trading. Quite the opposite, particularly when you're beginning to learn because you simply would like to discover whether or not what you're doing is right (therefore not making you wrong). And so, I believe patience is the fundamental element of trading. In entrance, exits, studying, testing ideas, and above all #8211; currency management.
