Well, more like the "Littlest Loser". I lost my trade today, folks. I hope you're all not too massively disappointed in me. I was disappointed, but it certainly was not a deal breaker. My last losing trade was over 15 days ago.
This trade simply did not have the movement that usually comes with the information that I received. Regardless, because the movement was so minmal (and because I had time) I set my stop loss and my profit target and let it run. Ultimately, though, I decided it was time to get out and I traded out at a 0.5 point loss.
One for the lesson books, I suppose.
Remember, this blog was set up so you could see actual, real, non sugar-coated trading results. I post my winning trades (I'm currently winning around 87% of my trades) as well as my losing trades (around 10% are losers). (BTW, if you're doing the math, the other 3% are breakeven or no-trades). I post everything to give you a real, personal look as to how Market Mover Trading has changed my life and given me something I could never have had before - time!
Before MMT, I was working a full-time, salaried job in the city. I would arise early and jet off to work long before my kids even got out of bed. I would be there all day long, and return home in the late afternoon, shovel some food down my throat and rush of to do my church responsibilities. By the time I got home, my kids were in bed, and the cycle would repeat itself - over, and over, and over again. I was missing the lives of my kids (four + one on the way) and I hardly ever saw my wife.
Now, life is totally different. I generally take my kids to school every day and drop them off. We eat breakfast together and everything. I see my wife much more than before. I am involved in their lives, and am looking forward to being a major part of their upbringing - not just an absentee father.
I love everything about what Market Mover Trading has done for me. And I'm confident that you will too.
For now, have a GREAT weekend!
