I met with traders from the South today. I rode a bike all the way from my house to the coffee shop meeting place. It rained but it did not stop me from showing up.
“Learn to be humble and consider each experience whether big or small as an opportunity to learn”
When I entered IMPACT, I felt like most of my peers were already way ahead of me. Each person I met always had experience in actual trading and they were speaking in trading language that I cannot understand. In group discussions, I always felt like I was just leeching information from other people and I had nothing to contribute. Today, I was able to share my own process and my own experience with my peers. I think they learned something from me as well. Going back to the roots and basics of trading: Paper trading, journaling and back testing. Never skip a beat and make consistent habits.
“Being with like-minded people”
Being with like-minded people generates meaningful conversations. It is like me talking basketball with my basketball friends or ranting about work with my IT friends. We came from different backgrounds but we talked as one in trading. I thought the meeting would feel awkward but it didn’t.
“Sharing trading ideas”
My classmates shared with me their trade ideas for $VUL and $IDC. I have nothing to share right now but in the future I can probably chip in one of my trade ideas.
