In the beginning...

This is my first blog on trading. I was introduced to trading the e-minis, (primarily the S&P 500 and a few trades on the Russel), on the first day of the summer trading season (ugh!). I have had a lot of positions in my career, from mail room to a CIO in a Fortune 50 company and I can honestly say that none of them has been more challenging and rewarding as trading.

Trading has forced me to unlearn and "learn how to re-learn". It has forced me to be able to change my biases and paradigms on an hourly basis and how to work within a context that I cannot control.

I love to learn and I love to work, they are both passions for me. Trading offers both to the Nth degree.

Lastly, I used to think that trading was all about making money. I was wrong. Trading is about learning about myself, working very hard to create a daily trading plan, (that can change hourly) and practicing like Tiger Woods. It is not easy, there is no system, except for literally thousands of hours of work, practicing, preparation and then execution of the plan.

I am having the time of my life first, and actually beginning to consistently make money second.

I don't teach, promote or sell. I just trade, and that is what this blog is about, sharing my trading experience.
