why am i doing any of this?
my daughter. my wife. their happiness. their comfort. my happiness. my comfort.
that’s it.
once i answered that for myself - everything else became clearer. every discipline i’ve worked on. every sacrifice i’ve made. including trading.
today’s international women’s day. and i wanted to take a moment to highlight some of my why’s.
seeing my daughter smile is my why.
taking a random trip with my family whenever i feel like it, on my own time - that’s my why.
working from home with my family in the other room is my why.
depending on myself is my why.
many get involved in trading. few ever make it to a point that puts a long-term smile on their face. and that holds true for almost any skill set in the world... when a process is rushed, shortcutted, treated like an “easy” answer - you end up nowhere. you end up hurt, burnt out, and losing faith in the industry. sometimes you lose faith in yourself.
so while i appreciate the special why’s in my life today, i also want to remind you - maintain the faith you have in yourself. and grow it.
the easiest way to do that is to follow a process that most won’t.
sit down and ask yourself why you’re doing the things you’re doing. why you’re learning the things you’re learning. even if the answer is just “for myself” - that’s enough.
because once you have an aim, it becomes a lot harder to do stupid shit. on the charts. in your life. anywhere.
before i had anything, i had a why.
happy international women’s day to the ones who gave me mine.
-Anton
