Haha! Of course I do. He gets to see the results of that fateful day. He is my "Ace in the hole" as we say down here in Texas. I have a few more seemingly impossible statements to make to him over the next few years. Here are some that I'll be laying on him in due course. In no particular order but equally as challenging for me as "I want to trade the spot currency market as a profitable business":
1. I want to have the intellect of Bemac.
2. I want to posses the patience of Bundyraider.
3. I want to be as picky as Fudd.
4. I want to be wise beyond my years like Mike W.
5. I want to be able to present charts as well as Dan Gilbert.
6. I want an my trading account to be at least one tenth the size of Dirt Simple's in the next five years.
7. I want to be as introspective as Seeking Light.
8. I want to see the future of price like Rac.
9. I want to be as articulate and insightful as Aaron.
10. I want to be as discerning as Jaroo.
Paying taxes for me is now bittersweet. It used to be something that I would 100% dread. I know that this is wrong and Lord forgive me but I'm just human. Mr. Accountant understands that I have this tiger by the tail now. There is a part of me that feels satisfaction in knowing that he witnessed this. Now with all this said, do I think for a second that I've "made it"? Honesty requires that I say "no" to that question. I have done exceedingly well since I started my business Nov 10th 2009. I have the right equipment (battery back-ups, broker ph #'s two separate internet connections through different providers, laptop on standby etc etc...) I will do my family a horrible disservice to rest on the success I have had since Nov 10th 2009. My forex trading business experience is weak. I harken back to my years at home as a boy. I can still hear what my dad would tell me when I would get early confidence on a matter. He
would say "boy! you are still shittin' yellow". The translation for those who don't understand in other countries is "It's just too early for you to really know." Every day is a new one. Every day is one that I could do something stupid. I posted two losing trades this past week in my journal. Grateful for the losses am I. They show me that I am still learning. They show me to trade what I understand and demo what I do not. I promise myself that I will rise daily and tell myself that I am doing well but I have a long, long way to go. What I believe gets me to the next lesson. What I know is just this side of nothing.
K.I.S.S.
