This too shall pass

When they first told me that being a derivatives trader would be emotionally stressful, i was a bit surprised that someone was actually saying 'emotions' out loud. I was even more surprised when they said having a good emotional quotient was one of the most important things. I mean what the heck?!! Where do emotions come into all this?

And here i am, not even trading with real money yet, sitting here depressed over the fact that i lost 200 fake dollars in the last 15 minutes and that it had taken me all day to make the 50 fake dollars in the first place. Add to it the fact that they charge $1.12 per round trade(i've made some 70), and i'm very deep in it indeed.

And i'm going live on monday...
