Very interesting journey, thanks for sharing! I find what your dad did very interesting, mainly because:
I manage my children's college accounts (Coverdale)
Like your dad, I plan to open Roth IRA's for them in the near future, even though they aren't even teens yet; I can only imagine what their retirement accounts will look like in 45 years.
It is very cool that you and your wife trade together. My wife and I trade together too, albeit a bit differently than you and yours. I hope that you find the "whole is greater than the sum of it's parts", as we do.
Thanks! Yes, it's great that we are running this "business" together. I had a building business for 35 years, so establishing and running a business is nothing new. My wife and I are focused on the same things. I believe that it is harder to give 100% to something if a spouse is not behind you. Every couple has their own dynamic, but for us, we understand the focus that each of us has and are not irritated the the other is spending so much time in pursuit of success.
Thanks! Yep, it's quite beautiful here. Water is clean. Lakes are big. Mountains are majestic. Air is great.
Lewiston has its good points. The Snake river. Friends moved to Peck. Some pretty spots over there. I used to take my motorcycle and head up to Lolo Hot Springs when I lived it North Central Wa.
Had to get out of there (NCW). Got too crowded for my taste.
I do love the Redwoods on Norther Ca.
When time and money permit, you should come for a visit or better yet move here. Lots of room.
although that being the case, it doesn't infer or convey advantage....
trading exposes you to YOU! It is one of (just in case there are other....), it is one of the toughest endeavors you will ever engage in secularly as you are directly envolved and emotionally envolved and directly effected (after the fact) by the results. See the common thread in that statement that has been made, by so many trading coaches, in other words and phrases?
yes, the common thread is the "You", in the equation.
learn to control him, her or that other guy and you're well on your way.....
Every day buddy.. every day. Turns out if one doesn't totally blow out, is fortunate to be able to stay in the game for a while and touch the hot stove enough times, they eventually develop the ability to not do that anymore
Self-taught but never spent time studying someone else's strategy or anything like that. I pretty much just dived in and started creating strategies that made sense to me. The only book I ever got into was In the Zone by Mark Douglas. The strategy I've been using for a while a now consists of only price, volume ratios and long trades on a 2hr chart. I lost about 10k a year for 5 years before I started consistently booking profit.
You're absolutely right. It's been a really crazy ride. Too many low points to count. I've hit some great highs but I'm not satisfied. Still a shit eating dog.
