I am so excited to announce that I am transitioning from a paper account to using real money!
I decided to open an E trade account with only $2000. I scraped up all the money I could in the time that I had and this is what I got. We all start somewhere.
My plan is to write down every trade and lesson learned from each trade. I also want to use profit.ly to track trades but my personal journal will be my primary track record.
I have developed a way to keep track of my trades on a spreadsheet so that I can learn from each trade. I have been experimenting with this spreadsheet with my paper account and I feel comfortable enough to use it in my real trading.
I now feel like I am part of the team instead of sitting on the bench with my paper money.
I have to be honest. This journey is an emotional rollercoaster for me right now. I am excited to get started on something that I've been wanting to do for 6 years, but I am also terrified beyond belief. the only saving grace I have is that I am not alone. I have you. My Profit.ly family that understands what it is like to put so much work and time into something that is not a guarantee.
Any advice or nice words are appreciated.
Thanks for reading,
