Expectations from trading – contentment

An exellent blog post on the expectations from trading is available at Carl Futia’s Blog. Readers MUST read this post in full.

Some Excerpts are:

I have been in this business full time for nearly 30 years now. I have known many traders. The majority of them were only in the business a relatively brief time. Most of these left because they lost money but some left because, even thought they were making money trading, they couldn’t stand the constant frustration traders experience.
So as a practical matter you should count yourself fortunate indeed if you consistently capture a small part of any given market swing.
There is much more. Go to the blog and read the post, not once, but over and over again.
