]]> Comment on Trading As A Business: A Very Worthwhile Question From a Reader by Jeffrey Ludwig http://insideouttrading.com/blog/trading-as-a-business-a-very-worthwhile-question-from-a-reader/#comment-3646 Jeffrey Ludwig Fri, 11 May 2012 16:25:18 +0000 http://insideouttrading.com/blog/?p=517#comment-3646 This is a great example of how to think through a decision-making process like this, but moreover highlights some of the important reasons to do it. Trading (and so many other of life's arenas) is full of these kinds of decisions, where a little extra up-front effort can pay large dividends down the road. There's a temptation, after doing some cursory research, to throw up one's hands and declare "I don't have time to pick through all this info" or "it's too much for me to process" or "it probably doesn't really matter anyway" and make an arbitrary choice based off emotion or expediency (at least, I know it's a temptation for me!). Besides, who wouldn't rather be spending their time finding great trades than comparison shopping brokers, or watching trading platform tutorials, or reorganizing watch lists? But taking that little bit of extra time and effort to do any one of these things can end up being worth more than any number of great trades one could have found in the same time! One additional caveat is not to get complacent and think that once you've done that work you never need to think about it again. Opportunities change and so do personal needs. Maybe that broker you looked at last year that didn't impress you has restructured their commissions and would now be a great fit for you; maybe now that you've started trading different markets, or on a different time frame, the trading platform that served you so well in the beginning now no longer fits your needs. You won't know unless you periodically take the time to reevaluate where you are and what you're trying to do, and assess whether the tools and systems you're using are helping you or holding you back.

I don’t care what it is. Whether it’s making your system better or focusing on your execution. Or running your operation like a real business. Just do that one thing and don’t get distracted with other “ideas”. This statement is so true about distraction ,Over fifty percent of humanity has never used a telephone. If that many people in the world are still distracted by issues of survival, what are the other fifty percent who are more fortunate doing about it? The answer is ___ almost nothing.

I especially liked the idea of donating trading books to the local library. Feels like I'm giving back something as i have received a lot from others. Very refreshing Brian.

There is always so much interesting stuff coming through that I would love to learn,but either do not have the time to sit through it, or I forget it soon after anyway. I do have a lot of methods that I should choose one or two of,and concentrate on fine tuning to work for me ,but I think I sabotage myself with all kinds of diversionary interests to avoid doing just that. I think it is because I do not believe deep down , that trading FX is something I can be successful at doing and I am constantly finding ways to avoid proving it. I can mostly even see what I am doing ,as I am doing it would you believe, but always find a reason to justify what I am doing? I am very slowly forcing my way down to the FX river to drink ,but gee it's a slow journey. Thanks for your constant support, as it has been a great pusher back in to the right path many times for me. Cheers, Frank L.
