This has been more of a struggle for me than I imagined. I am a professional engineer with good analytical skills but I find that my discipline lapses in the heat of trading. It's the Paul conundrum:
"For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. *Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. *So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. *For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. *For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing." (Ro 7:15–19 ESV)
I seem to be gaining ground by getting grounded in strong technical analysis skills as well as good risk management and focusing on good discipline in all areas of my life. A book I am finding helpful in developing the technical skills is "The Complete Trading Course" by Corey Rosenbloom". It sounds like the diversion could do you some good to step back, do some reading, then approach the markets again with some more/better skills and strategies to ply.
I pray you will catch your 2nd wind and come back stronger!
I think you will find some parallels between construction and trading. It takes a while to learn the trade well enough to make money. If there are shortcuts, they seem to save more money than time. And the shortcuts still cost something.
You can find a lot of helpful info on this forum and there are a lot of nice folks providing info and encouragement.
IF you mean to have access to the entire site of Futures.io and the elite downloads, Yes you need to be an Elite Member.
The membership gives you much more value than simply downloads. The community is a great resource and I highly recommend it.
If you are only looking for downloads, you may find what you want elsewhere but without much support or in many cases, someone that offers to sell what you need at a ridiculous price.
