DISQUS

reno · 2 years ago

Congrats on the million hits! Thanks for taking the time to create the site. I know it's a lot of work since I've tried to do one myself and to post regularly although it was more of a personal trade journal rather than something to teach others. I'm currently in the phase where after a great runup earlier this year I pretty much almost blew out my account in the past two months. It's definately depressing and I was able to empathize with your comment about lacking the motivation to continue on, however it's sites like this that gives me hope that I'll learn something that will help me break out of this cycle and become a consistently profitable trader someday. Anyhow congrats again and cheers!

Thank you Reno! It's absolutely comments like yours and sharing personal stories with me that keeps me going. I want to feel like I am making a difference to traders through my efforts.

I know it's of little comfort in the meantime, but large losses are major educational events that grab our attention and force us to change whatever caused that loss, and we must sort out the pieces to find out why it happened and what - if anything - we can do to prevent it occurring in the future. Perhaps the hardest part is maintaining motivation and not being severely discouraged and giving up. Sometimes, we have to look for resources outside the trading community to regain this motivation - so much of it is a "head game."

I will keep writing and reaching out and sharing my experiences and struggles. As always, please let me know if there's anything I can do to help if needed.

Great stuff Corey! Don't change a thing, your site is one of my personal favourites and I always love to sit down in front of the computer each morning and read what you have written (I'm in Australia) in preparation for the days trading.

Here's to the next million! :)

Corey,

Congratulations on 1,000,000. That's quite a milestone! You deliver great content and it's very clear your heart is in your words. Keep throwing that boomerang...they always come back to you.

Thank you, Josh! Thank you for the warm compliments and for reading. I'd love to visit Australia at some point - I have heard such wonderful things about how beautiful it is and how peaceful. It's absolutely on my to-do list. I typically post in the evenings, so that would indeed be in the mornings for you!

All the best to ya'!

Thank you, Rich! That is a great quote and a great analogy. That would be one of my mottos as well. I am at the point I am because of the support of so many people and from the teachings of so many individuals as well, both in the market and in other areas of life. I owe so much to them and to those who respect me and will do all I can to add value to readers and help them in any way I can.

I wish you the best and am very appreciative for your readership,

Corey

Well done, Corey. I also read this blog in the morning before the markets open here in Asia/Australia. As a young trader to say this website has been helpful and informative would be a great understatement. I really appreciate the work you've done.

Greetings, Joshua. Thank you so much for the comment and support. I'm so glad to have been able to help a bit. I'll continue to do my best to provide all the help I can and strongly encourage input and questions as they come up.

From what I can tell from my preliminary stats, over 3% of readers are from the Land Down Under, making it the #1 country outside of the United States! Singapore and Canada are a close second and third. I'm so glad to hear from all you Awesome Aussies!

I wish you the best and wish I were there in Australia with you all! Instead, I'm in America's Deep South in the middle of a summer heatwave!

All the best,

Corey

Wow. Two Josh's, both from Oz, commenting on the blog.. what the heck are the odds of that?!?!? About the same as an extremely volatile U.S. summer of trading I suppose! To use an Australianism... un-bloody-likely! :)

..and, just for the record, I'm from Adelaide, Australia. :)

I know! It's out of this world! With the market the way it has been behaving, I'm beginning to believe that nothing is out of the ordinary. We're supposed to be experiencing the "Summer Doldrums" in the market! People are supposed to be on vacation en masse! Oh, well. We just have to do the best we can.

I'm going to begin to gear the content a little more internationally from now on. I actually almost created a post regarding the Australian Dollar and its recent significant weakness. I saw the chart in some of the ForEx and futures scans I run and just about put it up there as a study in rapid price declines but decided to hold off to see the resolution. I'll do that in the next few days - I need to read up a bit on why the Aussie Dollar declined so rapidly and what it means.

I hope to hear more from you both, and from any overseas trader. Let me know what content might be interesting or important to you and I'll see if I can research a bit and gear some content to you.

Cheers, mate!
