I am still working 925 specializing in supply planning for capital every day, but two years ago, a financial setback made me realize I had overlooked the subject of personal financial management and focusing on accumulating real capital properly.
Just like a shock to see that capital cannot help me get rich. I work hard, but when I encounter problems, I don't have much saved up.
I wonder if there is a way to find a second job that helps me earn money faster?
This question leads me to #trading two to three years ago. And I realized that this trading path is not as rosy as the groups promoting easy money online claim. Learning from one teacher after another, I came to realize that to be fortunate enough to meet a good teacher, one must go through the ordeal of spending money on bad teachers.
It's true that being a teacher is not easy when having to overcome many ordeals on the trading journey (experiencing a series of stop losses, emotions fluctuating like a roller coaster, breaking discipline, not following the checklist,....). And gradually I realize that trading is a journey of personal development by building a self-management system that reflects one's own character.
I am still on the journey of building and perfecting it so that the day I can truly make sustainable profits from trading becomes clearer before my eyes. In that journey, I have built a self-management system on Google Sheets and Notion in an all-in-one style instead of having too many apps.
Daily planning board according to the M15 frame.
Daily and monthly expense tracking board.
Trading journal auto-calculating % SL and % TP for each order.
Reflection system on Notion to track the behavior patterns and psychological patterns I have while trading.
I write on Square to share my journey and the experiences as well as knowledge I am gathering on the trading journey so that anyone who likes to tinker with data in Excel like me and is struggling to build their own trading system can get more ideas.
If anyone wants to share more about the above topics or any topic in trading, let's discuss further together.
