As the year is drawing to a close, I am trying to think thru what I 've done.

Apparently, this year I did not achieve anything. Gone are my bonus because of the stupidity of my boss. Asked him not to do the trade but he insisted in doint it.... good lah, lost 200 over thousand USD... what the fish.... asked him to cut the position but he just refused to take the lost....

I just hope that my own trading can make up for my bonus... now that my wife is expecting, need to make more money for the sake of my unborn child.

If I can consistanlty make the amount that I am making tis month, than I am on course to make enough money on a monthly basis so as to be the same as my full-time pay. At that point in time, I can really care less about my job already. But I will still hold on to my job, of course. Why quit a job that pays me almost 8k a month for doing almost nothing? I cannot be making any more money even if I trade full time.... besides, I need the full-time pay in order to pay my bill so that I am not so stressful in my trading, and that is very important.

Received a brochure after I registered my own business, realised that there are compaines that rent out workstation for 1 person, charging somthing like 250-400 per month. Just thinking that next time if I ever go it on my own, this is not a bad idea as it is better than working from home. I need to fetch my wife anyway, so the petrol consumption for making 2 to-and-fro trip is about the amount that I need to pay my parking in CBD area. Moreover, need to be out there to socialise with people, if not may go crazy at home. But that will not (I hope) happen for the next few years, according to my plan.
