Woody Allen said - 90 percent of life is just showing up- IFCN Wk 11 -Fri- Equity: $486.25

Woody Allen may not be a trader, but he knows the right ingredients to success.

We had another week with 5 FirstStrike losses.

There was some fairly decent action at the beginning of the week, but no follow-through. Perhaps next week.

The business of trading is more mental discipline of taking trades than nearly any other factor. Plus decent money management when you actually get your trade executed.

One ultimately makes money trading by having on a correctly-sized position when the winners show up, which they inevitably do.

WE have to show up BEFORE they show up!!!
