A long time member and friend is back, Nate Wilson. For those of you who are members of the community, he goes by the same name in the chatroom and has been around from almost the beginning. He\u2019s become a personal friend of mine (particularly if you watch the vlogs on the YouTube channel) and he\u2019s someone I respect for his bluntness and honesty. He adapts a \u201cI don\u2019t care what you think\u201d type attitude, so he has no problem simply sharing his experiences, both good and bad. In this update of his journey, he talks about how he needed to step away from the markets and trading for a while which prompts a very valuable talking point. Sometimes as traders, we should be slowing things down and tapping the brakes, but many times we do not which leads to account pain. There is certainly a learning lesson here and with much else we talk about. Let\u2019s get to it! Notes: Today we talk with community member Nate Wilson. He\u2019s been on 3 previous podcasts which are linked below and is a regular member who leads examples on the weekly webinars. Nate generally trades every single morning focusing on his extended scalping strategy but over this past summer he took an extended break during a house remodel. The contractor he was using wasn\u2019t consistent with his timing so this led Nate to stop trading for a while so he wouldn\u2019t get caught in a trade when he needed to help out. Clay and Nate discuss their styles of trading and how they may have a high rate of success, the losers need to be kept in check as to not wipe away all the smaller winners. Nate also talks about having a background in finance which helped him ease into trading. Nate suggests that going into the market with no education is a fool's errand. While eventually you need to put your education into practice, with no education you will have very poor results. It took him 2 years to feel confident in his current strategy. Quotes: I fully realized this is the strategy that works for me and I\u2019ve stopped trying to do anything else. I just didn\u2019t want to get into a trade because I was nervous the contractor would call right after. Once I see 10:30 on the clock I stop paying 100% attention to the market. I start answering emails and doing other work related things. If you\u2019re just going to go into the market half-assed and don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on, that\u2019s the kind of result you\u2019re going to get. I do not have \u2018shiny object syndrome.\u2019 I\u2019m very content with the money I make with my strategy.
