 Welcome. My name is Melissa Armon. Today I thought it would lecture you on a great topic. It's called determination. When you're learning how to trade, or if you want to become a trader, say you're trading already, but you're not successful. Say you're losing money. It's really important to be determined to win. And you can take this on a small scale as well. Because every day I get up. And I am determined to do the right thing when I'm looking at a chart, when I'm calling a trade, when I'm doing it, when I'm pressing the button, looking to get in, looking to get out. When you're determined to make money, when you're determined to be successful, you're going to push forward farther and faster than you ever could imagine. Now I realize that there are some days where you can be really determined and things just don't work out your way. And those days you might have to take one loss. You might have to take two losses. But guess what? You could be even more determined the next day to get up in the morning and do fantastic. What I think happens to a lot of people is when they don't have all the determination that they need in the world to be successful as a trader or anything, anything in life that they want to do, they tend to give up very easily. People tend to quit way too easily. If you quit, I can guarantee you that you will not make it. If you're determined to win, to win and be successful in the market, to be a successful trader, to do this as a career if you want to, then you will make it. But how long is that going to take? Well, it's up to you. It's up to you. You've got to learn for the right person. You've got to have a good strategy and you've got to know yourself. When you get down to yourself because you have a bad day, it's not the end of the world. You're not going to die. You're not going to die if you have one or two bad trades. You're not going to die if you have one bad day in the market. Don't quit. Don't give up. Be determined to make it. Be determined. Sometimes when I don't have a good day or sometimes when things don't go my way, I get very, very frustrated. Sometimes it lasts a couple of minutes. Sometimes it lasts a couple of hours, but it never lasts more than 24 hours. I very easily can pick myself up from a bad day and turn it around the next day. Why? Because I'm very determined and I'm very goal oriented. And I think this is extremely important in trading because too many traders quit. Too many traders give up too easily. Too many traders flounder around. And if they learn something in the market, it doesn't work. Then they want to quit immediately and just say, ah, forget it. Or if this trade doesn't work or whatever the case may be. Your intuition, your inner knowing will tell you when you grab on to hold something good, try to do a good system like mine is, and no, it doesn't mean it's going to work 100% of the time, but it means it's going to work way more often than it doesn't. And you've got to hold the conviction and keep the determination going to keep your energy high and keep yourself motivated. It's extremely important because no one is going to do it but you. You're the only one that's going to make yourself successful in this life. Nobody else really cares. You might have family and friends and lots of people that love you, but it is up to you. It is up to you to make it happen. It is up to you to do it. You care about what's happening more than anybody else when you take a trade. You've got to go for it every day when you get up and give it your all and give it your best. And if you look at life like that, you're going to be successful as a trader. I don't care how many people tell you that you can't do it or you can make it. That's crap. Don't listen to those negative people. Get up in the morning tomorrow. Have a fantastic day. Whatever you're doing, whether it's trading, television, whatever, your regular job, and look to the future, have your goals, set your goals, and be determined that you're going to learn this thing, this trading thing. If that's what you really want to do and you're not going to stop until you get it right until you're successful. Have a great day, everyone.
