[My biggest challenge in trading] is being prepared to transition from a full-time executive to full-time trader.
Mario M.
What is your strategy and time frame now?
Thanks Mike for the response. I really didn’t expect any follow-up on your side and thought your initial question was a kind of AI response.
Short answer:
1. When I save/make USD 3M (total net worth)
2. When I become consistently profitable trading this size (2M at least).
3. I initially thought 2028 would be an achievable timeframe.Long answer/comments:
1. The pandemic has taught me I can live anywhere and work remotely.
2. Instead of my current job as a Country General Manager for an S&P500 health/tech company, I think I can make a living from trading/investing.
3. I’m a corporate executive with a solid general management career making six-figure compensation. I just think I can be successful if I learn the ropes of trading, reading your book, Trend Following, was inspiring in that sense that trading is learnable.
4. I started investing in stock market on Feb 22, and have experienced what for me is significant unrealized losses. My investing account is down 50% because I hear and followed dangerous “investing commonly accepted advice” like “buy more if the stock is down”. I’ve bought 8 lots of stock that now is 50% lower than my last lot. Hahaha. Would have shorted if I knew more about trend following.
5. It’s really hard to identify good material over the internet, etc. because there are tons of noise like YouTubers, books, etc. I just discovered about trend following one year after being interested in the stock maker, making a “Value Investing Course” at Columbia University, etc.
6. I initially thought trading/investing was easy. I then discover that a lot of what you hear is not good advice and the trends are really powerful.
7. I’m on my way trying to learn as much as possible in the spare time I have from my demanding job.Anyway, thanks for the response, and whenever you have any surveys, research projects, etc., please count on me.
