As we grow, we do so in fits and starts, lurching forward then back, sometimes looking more like clowns than seekers.

The fight to become a consistent profitable trader has been far tougher than any physical fight. It is nothing short of absolute torture and heartache that one puts oneself through taking this path. Yet it is one I took on, it is my passion, I have spent years observing candlestick charts. I have been fucked over by professional financial advisors, I have paid for courses, mentors, and hemorrhaged money faster than a rat up a drainpipe. I thought I knew enough but realised I knew little. Gradually I began to treadwater; in trading terms that is a big deal. I am currently trying out with a prop firm. I intend to blog annually my progress.

Once I can walk the walk I will talk the talk, a next book and lessons for anyone wishing to take on the challenge of trading or investing.
