Mission Statement

Ed,

As I read the Trading Tribe, I feel inspiration to use the principles to write a mission for my trading company.

I wonder what you feel when you read the mission statement as written below?
 
My mission is to experience the present through a deliberate partnership with my feelings, my system, my investors, and the futures markets.

I live in the present. I allow myself to experience my feelings and recognize that my thinking mind and emotions work together to bring me through the path of right livelihood. I celebrate my feelings and care about the feelings of others.

My system represents my intention to stick to a trading system. I like to show a profit.

I partner with investors who believe in my system and my ability to do what I say. Through this intentional partnership I ride winning positions, exit losing positions and manage risk.

The markets are omnipresent and unsolvable. I follow trends and do not try to predict what the markets will do.
Thank you for sending me your Mission Statement.  

It  seems to apply to your life.  

You might consider making another one specific to your trading - perhaps with points similar to those on The Essentials card.

Hi Ed ...

hope you're good.

I would love your thoughts on this trade and this young man.

You're probably aware of it but gotta give him credit? ....

he booked it like a "pro". And if his out was Jul lows ... not a bad r/r execution/trade.

Stay great.

Thank you for raising this issue.

Looks like a four-bagger to me.

You might like to find out a bit more: namely, how he happens to come up with the 25 million in the first place.
