Losing is not an option, winning is

October 19, 2009 in Reflections

For the past 2 weeks, I’ve lost all my winnings and a good 20% of my account.

I felt like a loser. I don’t know why things start getting wrong when I put real money. When I put paper money, I win 60%. When I put real money, it goes down to 90%.

When I put paper money, I put the trade and go to sleep. When I wake up the next day, I see +180. When I put real money, I put the trade and go watch TV, the next moment, my modem gets d/c, cannot work, my acct goes -220.

I don’t know if this is a matter of emotions? I followed what I did for paper money. Still, shit happens.

I’m really at a lost right now. It feels like 2 years of hard work has gone down the drain and I’m back to square 1.

But then I realized that losing is always not an option, there’s no such thing as play not to lose. No matter what you play, you will have a fair share of losses. Some people get just a fair bit while others get a huge chunk.

If you want to play, get ready to lose. Only those who don’t give up and change will end up as the winners.

Very soon, I’m gonna make back what I’ve lost. I’m gonna make back ten-fold, 20-fold, even a 1000-fold. But for now, losses are all I’ve got.
