New year, resolutions, changing tracks and playing ball!…

Hey everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas and a good New Year! I had a bit of a quiet one myself, although it was good as I had my boy for a good few days, which made a change and cheered me up no end. I’ve had plenty of time to contemplate and think of how things have gone for me this year, and in particular the last 6 months, and it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, all in all, thinking about it—a good one, though, as I’ve learned a hell of a lot along the way about myself in particular and a fair bit about the markets too.

Ok, so if I didn’t have a resolution, then it just wouldn’t be New Year, would it? … So for me, I’ve thought about it long and hard, and it’s a real cracker. This year I’m going to attempt giving up women. No, I don’t mean swinging the other way or anything, but this year is ‘the year’ as far as I’m concerned, the year I change my life. And to do that, I’m going to need to be very focused, spending a lot of time poring over the markets, adapting angles, and upping my game, and quite frankly, I haven’t got time for them. It may seem a bit of an odd resolution to have, but since I split with my long-term Mrs., I’ve been bouncing about from one chick to another, and the whole putting in groundwork, going out, spending time with them, yadda yadda yadda, has taken up some serious evening trading hours and study time. It’s not really healthy, and simply they’re on hold for now; it’s make or break time.

This track simply sums up what I like doing and me in general. The new year is going to see a lot more exercise as it’s enjoyable and also healthy for the mind—a sharp trader is a winning trader 😉 … changing track…

I got that good feeling… simply, this year is ‘the year’.

Ok, so I’ve read some interesting threads and posts over on the GeeksToy forum this week, particularly from a chap called CanaryDwarf. I met him, in fact, a couple of weeks back when I went for a few drinks with Jack Birkhead and some of the guys from STJ. I’m looking forward to his updates and progress… it’s true what he says, and like him, I intend to up my game this year, in a pretty drastic way. I’m not as experienced, but I’m ticking over nicely now, and this year I hope to make a hefty sum and possibly go full time once more when the season permits it and I’m making ridiculous money…

The sky’s the limit… so let’s ‘ave it!
