Blog

Hey guys! I know, I’ve been slacking. It’s been a while since I’ve done a blog and lesson. Don’t worry, I’ll get back to it! Today’s blog I will talk about my recent experiences and the process on how I got to be the person I am today. Without further ado, let’s get STARTED!

So as many of you guys know, I went to a music festival known as FIREFLY. It was a great experience but it wasn’t as good as last year to be completely honest. I still had a fantastic time regardless… I even met some of the artists! It is crazy to watch them perform live and actually meeting them in person. These guys are literally who people look up to and adore. Many people love what they do but they do not understand the grind it takes to become there. I’m sure that there were many doubters before they even become popular. Phrases such as, “It is impossible to make an actual career out of this” and “You’ll never make it big” was a part of their daily lives. However, these guys went against ALL ODDS and are making history today. Man, that must be a GREAT FEELING!

You may be wondering, how does this even relate to trading? It relates to basically EVERYTHING! When I first started trading, I was very excited to make money. But, that quickly changed after losing so much. I had many people who doubted me and thought that this was a complete waste of time. I lost half my life savings, became very distant from my friends, and wasn’t the usual “happy” Eric anymore. I am not going to lie, it was a very tough time for me. However, I still kept pushing, even if it killed me. I told myself “I will make it, you got this Eric”. It’s very funny because I would write notes to my future self and looking back to it just makes me feel great/laugh. Back then, I was a person who had almost lost his whole life savings and a StockTwitter with less than 10 followers. Now, I have more than 6 thousand followers and make more than what most people would make. I am saying this because it is very possible to achieve your dreams as long as you set your mind to it. Yes, making money is great. But the best feeling in the world is inspiring others to become more. It doesn’t have to be just trading. I strive everyday to become a better person physically and mentally.

Now since this is a website about trading, let me help you become a better trader by giving you some tips. These two books took my trading game to the next level. Japanese Candlestick by Steve Nison and Volume Price Analysis by Anna Coulling. Trust me when I say this! Take notes and review them EVERY WEEKEND! You’ll be amazed on how much you can learn from these books. Also, have a journal and keep track of your trades. Make a watch-list every night. Write down what you did wrong in a losing trade. Set goals for yourself every week (It doesn’t have to be just trading). It sounds very simple but doing these little things can go a long way. Being red overall isn’t too bad! I’ve been there. All you have to do is keep working and give it all you got. Once you’re finally out of the gutter, you will feel INVINCIBLE! The amount you make is based on how much work you’re willing to put. If you want to work a steady/safe full time job, so be it. But, if you want to live the life you want, WORK FOR IT. Nothing will come easy. However, TradingKingEric believes in you and YOU GOT THIS! 🙂 #TKE
