Hello to everyone.
I joined the mentorship about 2 weeks back but got hooked and forgot to say hi.
I’m Taranveer, a freelance cinematographer and former video producer at a production studio.
Been a full time intraday trader (profitable and more importantly calm) since Feb. I’m fairly conservative risk wise but there were aspects of my results where I felt luck was favoring me in terms of stocks being traded.
So it’s not really surprising that after reading weekend trader, and listening to all of Nick’s podcasts (- with Rayner, Chat with traders, Better systems podcast) it became obvious to me that my trading needed a more robust process oriented approach. Nick’s thoughts also, unsurprisingly, REALLY resonated with everything Mark Douglas stood for.
I then had a long email conversation with Trent Rothall and the same clarity of thought and sincerity that I aspire for, was reflected in him as a student so it was a no brainer for me to sign up. Thanks to himTrading background – As is the case with so many people, I have tried multiple approaches and each time I upgraded, I felt the last one to be disastrous. But luckily, in the beginning itself, I got introduced to risk management. I also know of people who had fortune-blowing experiences I could learn from (both in and outside trading). So I always focused on surviving.
My growth really came in small steps – managing risk well, then moving away from subjectivity and discretion, then moving towards positively skewed rewards. I really like where I am in my trading (calm, robotic) but I want to move out of intraday and want my watchlist to not rely on luck.I truly look forward to moving ahead in the course (done with the coding bit – Thanks to Craig responding to my million mails) and moreover, interacting with people who can help me be better.
Cheers
