Resume... Ayumi update

I was quite bothered with Malaysia General Election.
Was following the news on TV, postings on social media.
And .. failed to allocate time for trading and forecast.

After a week of ''rehab'', I will resume with my regular postings.

Last week was a fun filled week.

Debt Free

I managed to cancel my 3rd credit card, Citibank Cash Back Platinum (Visa), RHB Platinum (Master), Standard Chartered Gold (Visa).
And called HSBC to cancel my card application.

Leaving me with UOB One Card (Visa) + UOB Lady's Card (Master) and Citibank Clear Card (Master)
Lady's Card is cool (Read more).

I enjoy the lowest credit limit from both banks.

Relieved.

Career Expansion

Work

The new team, is smaller.
As I blog earlier... [Related Post]
I doubted whether the new team would be as open as what and how I used to enjoy.

Pros:
Effective Team
Assertive Super Sales Girl (wow, she is really classic, she is assertive, but she is not offensive, I like her!)
I get more chance to configure the system for product demo, I get more exposures to solutions, and the senior consultant, he is helpful (I couldn't say I like him, but, he gave me a totally opposite personality now)

I heard that he was aggressive, crafty.
After joining the team, I can understand his pain better, and there's no way a normal person could handle situation as such, without showing much anger or resentment.  He gained my respect as a senior application consultant, the pioneer of NetSuite in KL (as far as I know of).

Dance

Finally we met!

I started learning dance from this academy, and you know, when I am given a choice to return to this academy, to teach, I feel glad.

After months and months of postpone, schedule and reschedule, we met!
The principal shared much of her experience and expectation with me.

I admire her, she kept her carefree personality, take tough things easily, responsible, even though she has to face many sakai (crazy kids), adults, and instructors..

We are starting up 3 new classes for kids bellydance.
Not one, hello.  She planned 3 classes.

"Keeping my Saturday free", this rule has been compromised.
I value this relationship, I value the opportunity, and more importantly, I want to learn to communicate with kids.

Review

Life has been good, it is a good year.  It is going to be a good year, as long as I keep my commitment.
Be Strong, Be consistent. 7 months to go.  I know I can do it.

I passed my debt crisis, now I regained my freedom, I understands, I was silly.
From this period of life, I learned an important lesson,
people who are suffering, may not feel suffer.
the process to fight for freedom may not be as tough as it seems.
Be considerate.  Take it easy.  If you want to solve a problem, be patient, do it with your heart.

Believe in God.

I read something great today:
Don't underestimate people in pain,
some may be good hiding them.

You are at the same time given more courage

I am going to attend the manager’s conference tomorrow and was reading about Gregory Burns this morning; he is one of the guest speakers of this event.

Things happened these few days – cd player doesn’t work, lost my phone, travelled in and out of the country, lack of sleep, market rebounded but I can’t join the trade although I believe 13300 is the critical support point for DJIA… couple of events has added emotional burden on me, I feel miserable.

I am not good at releasing my emotions onto people, I couldn’t express myself as I think it is unfair to the audience… best thing I could do to myself, is to lock myself in a dark room, recollect the miserable events, and sleep with it. When I have enough of all, I blog.

So, this blog post is a release of my emotions, so I could stand tall and walk again.

I read from Gregory Burns:

“Everyone is imperfect. You might be born into a disabled condition, but you are at the same time given more courage. We should look at what we own ant not things we lack.”

This line inspired me, counting the things I lack – is enough. I have been counting them since 12/10/2012... And I think it’s time to let go.

Goodbye to Woodwind, my iPhone4.

Wait for another chance, another week to trade the market.

From 13,300 pts. to 13,550 pts. is 250 pts., Dow30, I miss you once, but I know,
you go and you are bringing your friends and relatives, bring me multiple of 250 pts. of real profit.



Patience, Perseverance
Ayumi

Kind and Considerate

the vibes...

there are character you like, and some character you don't..
when it comes to those you are less favour of, would you reject?  Would you send the negative vibes?

I did, to the same bloody person who (have no choice) but come in right before 6pm and give me tasks to do.
Yeah, I send the negative vibes -- and I hope it doesn't bounce back to me.

Good read from Ralph Marston:

The Greatest Success link

You don’t have to be famous to be important. You don’t have to be a celebrity to be successful.

You don’t have to live in opulent luxury to be rich. You don’t have to be irresponsible to be free.

You don’t have to be outrageous to be creative. You don’t have to be abusive to be impressive.

You can be quietly humble and still be amazingly effective. You can be kind and considerate and still have great influence.

Just because people don’t fall at your feet and worship you, doesn’t mean you are a failure. Quiet success is just as sweet as loud, flamboyant success, and usually much more real.

I like about Gold

For the week, I'm drenched in Gold.

Long a few times, triggered stop loss a few times ... I think 5 times in total.

Some stop loss are losses, some are little profit after market moves in favour.

I'm mentally challenged after the last time my stop loss is triggered. Yet I'm still a strong believer that.. Gold could FLY!

The last 2 attempt to Long - Gold is hovering around EMA50 (4 hrs chart).

And due to many times of losing this Long position, fear creeping in... My account is down 30%+

I only have 2 ideas:

1. Just take profit (afraid that they could go away)
So I adjusted my profit target down

2. If the Long trade is gone again and again... Just let the account burn, anyhow, I might need to experience (burning my trading account) one day.

Gold not only surge up 1670, it went up 1690.

I like the mental game, yeah, market not only made it to 2L, but 3L (powerwave), I'm happy for 2 things:

1. happy that my forecast is printed on the chart - and

2. I'm happy to discover that :
my mind is yet ready (i will work on it) - to ride the full wave.

It must not be a choice

Recently I have been overwhelmed with work. Moody.
The task is continuously testing my capabilities, I am challenged because I always think that I have limitation, and I always think that I am lack of resources.

Someone on my FB wall commented, suggest me … to go back to Trading.
Yes, I really hope so, to give up everything, just dance, and trading.

But I do NOT want things to happen this way…
Trading should not be a choice.
Dances should not be a choice.

I simply think that we cannot choose trading, or dancing, because I failed in some other areas.
I just do NOT want trading to be an option.

It is like… going back to your ex and tell them “the new relationship doesn’t work out”.
How does it sounds?

I bet it sounds like “Ewwwww…”annoying.

I am working so hard, to strike a balance between all the things I regard as important in my life… all these activities enriched my life, and I do not want them to become an option.
There are unlimited possibilities, and unlimited happiness if we are able to work out all these 3 things.

It satisfy me, my mother, and my bank account.

And I would like to encourage you to dedicate more, focus more, work hard towards getting what you want, and going full speed to achieving them. When you look back, there are only two things:
1. these are the experiences in life worth fighting for, or
2. they are plain rubbish…
but undoubtedly, you have given them the true meaning with all hard work.

What if it works?

We can choose, we can move forward

It has been a while I don’t read… and it has been a while since I last met mentor JC…
Work, commitment and new assignments have filled my calendar. I am constantly rushing… moving forward, I know, there shouldn’t be rush over everything, there could be something call: step by step…
There were something we need sit down, take time, embrace.. spend time.. and chill.

I read a beautiful article this beautiful morning… allow me to share a few line here with the readers.

Full article is here from The Daily Motivator – Ralph Marston

Lift the future
Just because you can become frustrated, doesn’t mean you must. Just because there are reasons to be angry or envious, resentful or disillusioned, doesn’t mean you have to choose any of those negative states.

Your choice of how to feel does not have to be dictated by the world around you. Instead, you can allow your feelings to come from the beauty that’s inside you.

Don’t base your feelings on the problems. Base them on the positive possibilities.

… Time moves forward, so look forward, and feel the limitless future as it arrives.

I have a choice,
Ayumi

Integrity

Beginning of a new day, I took some time to browse thru my favorite website – The Daily Motivator by Ralph Marston. Today’s article is good… let’s share a few lines.

You can read the complete version here: http://greatday.com/motivate/120204.html

The vision inside
Achievement flows from the inside out. To experience an exceptional life on the outside, you must nurture exceptionally positive values on the inside.
You cannot be angry, resentful, envious or cynical on the inside and expect to achieve anything of value. No matter where you might attempt to direct it, your negativity hurts you more than anyone else.

The great thing is, you can experience an outstanding life if you will constantly and persistently envision an outstanding life. That positive vision will itself drive your actions to ensure its own fulfillment.

...

Being a trader, we need to make decisions, long or short, now or later, and often when market is volatile and moving, we need to decide on the dot.

We are not able to guarantee the result or outcome of our trading decision, like what Dr Van Tharp says, we don’t trade the market, we trade our beliefs.

Take full responsibilities of our own action, take the losses when it has reached our stop loss, be it a mental stop loss or pre-set value; when it has reached our profit, adjust it to higher profit target, or just take the profit, and be happy of the money made today.

It will be another day.

Change

I have opened a blog post from T.Harv Eker for weeks, the Google Chrome tab is always there and I didn’t read it until this morning… I guess there is some important message needed to be delivered to me, and yes, it arrives at the RIGHT time.

Embrance change.

Accept changes.

Live Happily.

Source: New Year, New Changes: Will You Go With The Flow or Fight It?

Happy New Year! I am excited to share with you exciting, new journeys and experiences as 2012 reveals itself to all of us.

With each new year comes changes big and small . . . whether we like it or not! And because change is inevitable, and because we have just entered a new year, I wanted to touch on this subject just a little deeper.

Sometimes we love change, like a new job, a new relationship, or moving to a new city. Sometimes we hate change, especially when it’s not our choice or out of our control. In that case, we’d rather stick with what we know, even though it may no longer apply to our reality.

Either way, change is not always easy, is it? Why is change difficult for most of us? Because change means that we are forced out of our comfort zones, which is why it can be so difficult to embrace.

Here’s a clue: if what you’ve been looking for was where you’ve been looking, you’d have already found it! (Read that sentence one more time, it’s a good one.) Doing more of the same harder and longer is usually not the answer. Willingness to change usually creates better results.

It’s true—in many ways, reality is what we make it. Regardless if change is chosen or forced, one of the first steps to change is changing how you think. What you focus on expands because not only are you thinking it, but then you’re feeling and doing, even if you’re not always aware of it.

In other words, if you think change is going to suck, you’ll feel that, you’ll end up acting like it, then that change will end up exactly as you thought. But if you think, “Something good can actually come out of this,” you’re inviting more favorable results. Adapting to change then becomes easier and less stressful because you’re not focusing on the discomfort of the unpredictable.

This year, when change comes your way (because it will no matter what), treat change as a gift, even when it comes unexpectedly.

New Year, New Changes: Will You Go With The Flow or Fight It?

Blessed 2011

Looking back… and looking forward.

I am blessed.

**I went to RT Pastry yesterday; I pointed at this cake and told the girl I wanted this Green Tea cake. Then realized this cake is smaller than the regular small cake, it is only 300 grams! **
**Special Cake for Special Event, for a special person like myself and family! **



I though 2011 was a bad year… and last night while reflecting how I spent my 2011… I found -- this is the most meaningful year for me.

I experienced the ups and downs being a trader, won the lottery - big wins, how I hit the jackpot for Gold rally, DJIA, and CL… and also lost a big chunk of money in GTI, many small losses FX.

These losses seems to occur towards end of the year… this central tendency made me wonder if 2011 was a bad year.  Reflection is a powerful tool, if you roll back, and counting the blessing, you'll find the world a better place.

I successfully became a certified coach for APSRI Trader ProMaster module. Carried out a few workshops. It is a paradigm shift and I learned many things over the journey.  Mentor teaches me to me compassionate, introduces me to meditation, APSRI team coaches - Trader Investor Point let me post in their FB wall, Ajahn Brahm teaches us to be kind.  Yes, helping others enrich our lives.

I successfully became a regular instructor in Chi Fitness, and also successfully choreographed belly dance songs, and teaching them. I am also building my syllabus.

And… by looking at my past belly dancing videos, *glad that I grab opportunity to video* by looking into my past performances, I have travelled a distance. I see the improvement in myself and I am glad I did.

Attended numerous workshops, learned from Hadia, Serkan Tutar, Wael Mansour, Percy Yeoh, Mercedes Nieto, Sandra, etc… I am thankful for all the workshops I attended, although I may not be the one who can remember the steps (yeah… I am not good in that) I would say learning from Sandra and Mercedes Nieto helps a lot! They are detail, systematic and they know how to teach the feminine sensuality in dance, how to perform and how to practice.

And… having been blogging since 2007 (yeah, 5 years has past); I written my first mandarin article and published in a bi-monthly issue Capital Asia by Business Media International.

Along the way there are challenges… Software, Dance, Coaching, Forum writing, blogging, financial column, trading, investing, it is tough to balance my time in between, thanks to my family who has been supportive, thanks to my friends who had trusted me, thanks to my colleague who has been keeping my secrets, thanks to my superior RN and my understanding lady boss BL.

I love 2011.

And I am going to excel higher, and make 2012 another meaningful year.

Bless all
Ayumi

Gold on 20-May-2011

Thank God its Friday again!

This morning we celebrated my brother's birthday.
I had a wonderful chat with him last night, again, I remember the school really doesn't teach what is most important, the knowledge that my brother has acquired so far, is based on his own research, studies, trial and error, and now, experience, and continue to trial and error and continue to research.

To find a good developer is not easy, to develop something good, is not easy either.

We need to acquire the skills set with a lots and lots of hard work.
Consistent Effort.

Nobody can teach, or rather I would say, SKILLS is not easy to impart to the other person, because, we do not know what the other don't know, sometimes, we might end up teaching him something he totally don't understand, doesn't intend to learn, etc.. making it a waste of time to both the coach and the learner.

To be effective, drop everything that you know, park your experience or past research aside, re-learn something new, and set your objectives CLEAR.

We are different, our objectives are different.

Different objectives lead to different expertise, we master trading in different time frame, we realize our preferred pattern, we found our 1 bullet - 1 kill trade, START now, START from the OBJECTIVES, only when we are clear of what we want! Ask yourself, do you really want it?

Yes, you want it, and you will make it happen for yourself, you are totally capable of being who you intend to be.
Keep your determination ALIVE, by reminding yourself again and again of WHY it's important to you.

当你决定做一件事情的时候，全世界都会帮你。
When you have decided to do ONE thing, the WORLD, will help you.
First of all, decide.
and, Follow.
Follow through.

Gold on Friday 20-May-2011

To be Right? Or to be Rich?

I posted this on May 30, 2010, before my blog gets refurbished.  The qualities from the world top traders and their viewpoints on Superior Traders.
People who are smart can learn fast, but couldn't stay long in the game without hardwork.
People who are hardworking and read thousands of books, listen to hundreds gurus, but couldn't stay long in the game if they are not ready to accept growth and wealth.

Trading result is a reflection of our own, we can have superb trading setups, we can have marvelous team, after-all, the trade decision and trading plan is totally personal.  Nobody is gonna have the same trading experience, same risk appetite, same capital, same lifestyle, same objectives.  But we need to get the rules defined.
You take the trade, you break the rules, take the losses, and face the reality.
You take the trade, you play by the rules, take the losses, good game.
You take the trade, you play by the rules, take the profit, good game, keep it up!

From the New Market Wizards...

[Bill Lipschutz - The Sultan of Currencies]
Pg 63:

[Superior Traders]

"What do you believe are the characteristics of the truly superior traders?"

Let me start with an analogy. When I was in college, my impression was that people who were really smart could do very well, even if they didn't work that hard; and
people who really worked hard could also do very well, even if they weren't outstandingly bright.
In contrast, in trading,, I think you need both elements. The best traders I know are really quite brilliant, and they all work very hard -- much harder than anyone else.

By the way, when I talk about working hard, I mean commitment and focus; it has nothing to do with how many hours you spend in the office. These traders have tremendous commitment to the markets -- to their craft, so to speak. They develop scenarios, reevaluate scenarios, collect information, and reevaluate that information. They constantly ask themselves: What am I doing right? What am I doing wrong? How can I do what I am doing better? How can I get more information? It's obsessive.

[Quote from Bill Lipschutz]

... And there's a lot of pain.

You give up a lot of things. It's all tradeoffs. It's the middle of the night, everyone else is asleep, and you're sitting in front of a machine with glowing green numbers, with a pain in the psyche because the market is going against you and you don't know whether the fundamentals have changed or whether it's just a meaningless short-term move. Those are very trying times.

• "Why do you Trade?"
  I like the game. I think it's a great challenge. It's also an easy game to keep score of.

• "With trading consuming most of your day, not to mention night, is it still fun?"
  It's tremendous fun!  It's fascinating as hell because it's different every day.

• "Would you still trade if there were no monetary remuneration?"
  Absolutely.  Without question  I would do this for free.  I am thirty-six years old, and I almost feel like I have never worked.  I sometimes can't believe I'm making all this money to essentially play an elaborate game.  On the other hand, when you look at all the money I've produced over the years, I've been vastly underpaid.

Some from the final words..

Avoid
the temptation of
wanting to be
completely right...

... Scale-in and Scale-out approach: you many never get the best outcome, but at the same time you will never get the worst outcome either.  ... restrict full positions to those instances in which your confidence in a trade is greatest.

Meeting for ATIC

We have a meeting yesterday with the team for coming ATIC on 2nd-3rd April 2011.

APSRI is currently doing promotions until the 1st day of ATIC for early bird sign up for the brand new 6 months program.

There will be 4 class room meeting sessions, 1 live trading session, and 6 months tutorial sessions for those who want to be trained by real trader like Sifu, and the master coaches.

When we call it Real traders... I remembered how mentor JC explains... there are also many Textbook traders out there... such a new term for me... the definition of a Real traders, put it in the most simple format, honestly, we know what we do.

Take complete responsibilities of our own trading account.

Having able to meet the team, and meeting Mentor JC, and Master Lam from Nikkei 225, we feel the passion as a trader, we feel the hardwork and effort that one must go through... Don't give up, and continue to work hard.  Do it consistently, employ the most simple, clear trading setup, Entry, SL, Exit.. and most importantly, Sifu's 3-N Rule:

3-N Rule:

Never think the market is wrong!
Never sit on a losing position!
Never trade if you are confused!

Cheers to the wonderful Sunday afternoon, here I mark the start of this week's reflection, compile charts, and forecast.

Living Now, or living in the Past?

It takes a lot of patience, courage, determination, and I will call all as Hardwork, to make something happen, for the betterment of future.

We had a wonderful gathering yesterday, after 11 months, together, 4 of us observe growth in each other, together, we realised, what we have planted in the PAST, is giving us a fruitful NOW, and the tree of prosperity and growth, is going to grow bigger, and taller in the next 11 months, and many months to go.

Most importantly, when mentor JC was giving is closing speech for the day, many messages he wants to deliver, I get 1 striking message from him:

Are you living in the Past? Living to correct your mistakes from the Past? or Are you Living in the Future?

During the meditation this morning, and yes, continuous practise, I progress from 5 mins meditation to 14 minutes meditation now, eventually I will make it to 30 minutes, or even 1 hour by the end of 2011.

Back to the realisation... there are many many people who walked in my life, take that example from a typical work place, people complain, 1 month ago, she was complaining the workload and many people will 'throw' the job to her, and 1 month later, she is still struggle at the same topic.

Are we doing the same?
Are we going to repeat the same complain, over and over again?
Are we going to give the same 'punishment' to ourself through this repetition from the past?

Are we going to say, yes, I found a new system, I am going to test it, and make it work.
And after 3 months of testing, we say, yes, this is the system that I am going to trade, this is my trading, and I am gonna stick to it.
Then after 6 months, or 9 months, we complain that the system doesn't work in current market pattern, and start to look for new system?

Are we going to start the search, backtest, make it work, make it fail, and start all over again?

I know that there are many crap system.
I know that there are many wonderful system too!
Simple Support Resistance, and Fibonacci Numbers, can provide good trading guides and can give wonderful returns.
Are you going to make it work, for you?

For the betterment of mankind, for a better tomorrow, for a change of life, for a total control of our time, choices, remind yourself that you are going to make your dream come true.

I remind myself, I will achieve all wealth and success in my life, and I am going to make myself a Successful and Profitable Trader, I aim to spend quality time with my family, I will improve my setup consistency, and profit Unlimitedly from the market, and I hope all can benefit from my success.

The same story can have a good ending, that this girl from the workplace, finally break free from the job, be her own boss, and get her own business, at her own time, and create values to the marketplace.  While she found so many flaws in the previous organisation, she will never repeat the same unto her own company, and she will make a better business, and create many solutions to the marketplace, and finally she become successful and take control of her own life.

Do your part, and make the path for change.
Live, and plan for the future, believe me, that you can be in charge, and you, can make it happen.

Mentor said, the most important ingredient, in your trading, is you.
Take complete responsibility of our own action, if we cannot do it now, at least we try to be our best, do not give up, and do not let others be the one to blame, we play no victim.

Nobody is in upper hand of our life, unless we want him to.  Nobody is going to determine your success, nobody is going to tell you that you are a total failure, unless you want him to.  Start telling yourself, that you are going to be your best.  I am going to be my best, I will achieve all wealth, I will achieve all success, Yes?  or Yes!

角度不一样，难度就不一样。
每天步行100米，一个月就3公里，可以很简单。
可是换个角度，将平行的道路，改成垂直的山、悬崖，难度就不同。
每个人的优势不同，能够造就的事迹就不同。
钱，并不是唯一值得追求的东西，要是人生只为了追求金钱，我们只会成为金钱的奴隶。
认清自己的优势，明白自己的热忱，朝向自己的目标前进，服务更多的人，为人民、为国家带出各种讯息。生命丰富、活得姿彩。

一个人旅行 • 荒废了的理想

很久，没有一个人旅行。
一年以后， 觉得自己的胆子变小了。
刚才看KK's Travelblog (link 在我的blog右边慢慢找），他在柬埔寨，护照也用到没有任何空间能够盖上新的Visa了，我很佩服他的勇气，精神，还有他家人对他的信任。

要坚持自己的理想，依赖的不只是单纯的毅力而已，也不只是朋友的支持，也不是说家人支持就一定能够成功。如果在前面三个条件都符合的情况之下， 还有很多很多的部分，需要我们自己的付出、准备，策划。

最近很忙，很病。终于这两天休息、充电、静坐，才发觉很多重要的事情没有去处理，这还不用紧，荒废理想的当儿，我却把头栽在一大堆无所谓的沙子堆里头。

处理情绪，情绪有这么重要吗？

还好一切没有很坏，就昨天一天的时间我把很多功课都完成了！Horray！
上个星期，我也代了一堂舞蹈课，至少，是对未来的准备！
工作上面的进度也令人满意，需要更多的行动，朝本季度20万努力！
今天也开始设计我的舞衣，颜色、主题。

至于下个月的ATIC，我也把设计图交上去了。

衣橱里面的衣服，整顿了一番。

现在去陪妈妈看电视，待会继续回来做道琼斯指数的Forecast！

Price Behaviour Courses

Quote from Jimmy FX..

The New Turtles – Trading Traders Scam – Mike Baghdady is a bankrupt

26 Jan 2011

One course I sure as hell won’t be attending (although I will admit I did apply at the start) is Mike Baghdady’s Turtle program. I’ve realised that this is no more than a publicity stunt in order to entice more people onto his “Paid For” course. He has had more than 8,000 applicants and will select 10 people to be part of his trading program. What he doesn’t tell you is that he was made bankrupt in New York Sept 2010. So not very successful in trading one would hazard a high probability guess. His last roll of the dice is to come to the UK and make money on his Price Behaviour Courses.
If someone came to me with odds of 800:1 in order to be mentored with a New York city bankrupt trader, I know what my answer would be.
Bankruptcy Court Judgement Below :

Attend at your peril !

Related: About Price Behaviour Courses

Ayumi Comment: I won't attend, not because of rumours or court judgement, because I find current multiple trading setup thought by my Sifu DAR Wong giving good trading result, and the growth and improvement is far more beyond the levels I have ever imagined.

I need to work more on myself and STOP shopping for system.

900 pips

Last round, I took 6 months to accumulate 900 pips.
and took 3 months to gradually lose them all through consistent losses with controlled risk.

But over 3 months of losing trades, less than 30% of winning, I have lost confidence in myself, I almost wanted to give up, I feel very low in value, useless, and messed up.

I cried in front of mentor JC for hours, even mentioned that I wished to give up.

This round, I took 1 month to accumulate 900 pips, again.
would I be taking 2 weeks to lose them all?

From the frequency of trading now, this is not going to happen.

As what master Aaron said... it is about determination, perseverance, and hardwork.

If we can stand up from the place we fall, if we have doubts and we try to figure out, if we find out what our mistakes are, and promise to do it better each and everyday, we can make it, and we will be doing 1000 times better than last time.

We cannot guarantee the result, we cannot guarantee this is a winning trade or not.

One thing we can guarantee, if we put our heart to learn, do the work, we can improve, and one day, we will make it happen.

If you said give up, but your heart says no, stand up and be strong.  You can make it happen.
Open up your journal, check your trades, you will get a clue.

How we get started...

When I flip back my journals.. it reminds me of how we started calculating the initial shadow, day range formula, our labeling of XABC... I remember how our ProMaster April 2010 Batch started, how we first organize our gathering, how we share our findings, our doubts, broker information, sms each other of the EMA-50 signals, posting in the forums..
Initial shadow for 3 majors, day range, charting, etc etc...

Every new associate remind us of how we get started... And believe me, all associates, all traders have to go through the process and you will find the process and hard work worthwhile.

There are still many things that I do not understand, but mentor JC has shared a very effective way to the solutions:
Write it down.
Like sifu said, just write it down, when you have reached to a certain level, you will be able to understand.

We can guarantee everyone, even Master Denny told us the same:
If you put your heart into it (learning & trading), after weeks, months, years, everything will unfold.

I have picked up many essence from the ProMaster workshop, from Sifu, from mentor JC, from master Denny (my coach during ProMaster), they have put their heart into the module, they shared the application, and they totally believe in the system.

I wish all continue to work hard, and hope the new year brings many many fruits, many many blessings to all! Plant the seeds, today! Start to work today, and get the ball rolling :)

~~~~ a Happy Birthday to Ayumi in advance, when the click ticks to 12am, I am 1 year older :) ~~~~

Perseverance

记得以前接触“毅力”这名词的时候，是在运动场上面。。
通常我们在比赛以前，都会经过无数的训练，操练，比如，环绕校园跑圈，在校园里面跑楼梯……

Ayumi曾经也是运动员哦！以前参加400米赛跑，800米长跑，1500米也有。如果没有记错的话，是中学的最后一年，我们班原本参加4x400的其中一位健儿受伤不能上场，就很幸运地，让我顶替她的位子，能够和班上的精英一起比赛，我觉得很幸运。而且也拿了冠军。
太远了。。。

不过，如今让我记忆犹新，而且充满感动的，并不是金牌。
而是第一次参加3000米比赛，也是高三最后一年，和我最要好的朋友E一起参加。
我记得，肌肉已经酸麻，气喘的不行，我跑得越来越慢，甚至，用走的。。。“走”到靠近观众席的时候，我记得一个很大很大的声音告诉我：“不要停”。

在靠近起跑点，在靠近观众席的时候，我们听到朋友的欢呼，听到好朋友的鼓励，即使多么累，都拿出仅存的力气，继续跑。。

可是，当我们离开观众席越来越远的时候，这些声音变弱了，意志力也变弱了。。

毅力是什么呢？

在有人的时候努力表现，在暗地里慢慢执行。
怀疑自己的时候，忽略这个可怕的声音，继续作战。
相信自己的时候，把握这个信心，勇往直前。

我们，都是一步一步走向前，赢回自己的人生。
千里之行，始于足下。向前走一步，就是开始。

谢谢最好的你。谢谢陪我冲线的E。
