You’ve got this side project going on? You want to trade. And you know that trading takes time, especially at first as you’re trying to dig through a bunch of definitions you  haven’t heard before and you’re trying to understand things like ‘Shooting Stars’, and trendlines.
You want to make this trading thing work but you don’t want to neglect your family.

What do you do with your kids when you think you should be studying charts?
What you do with that guilt when you’re stuck in the office and they’re knocking on the door?
How do you handle your spouse’s concern or criticism about your latest project?

I’ll be the first to say, I haven’t figured this parenting or marriage thing out completely. We have three children now, one is out of the home and two are in the home: a middle schooler and a elementary student. I love my kids. Though I’ve been doing it for a while, my wife and I still make mistakes along the way. I can confidently say my mistakes are fewer now than they were even 5, 10, or 15 years ago. As in anything, you get better with experience.
Secondly, I’ve put together multiple projects. Trading, to me, is another project. A pretty intense one, but not unlike my first major career shift back in 2006.
So here’s one guy’s opinion as you’re learning how to trade while staying connected with your family.

First off, I have to make an apology for this personal podcast. Last week, I gave you guys a review of my results from my trading strategy. And this one will be a little more of the same. We will get back to some practical aspect of trading and I won’t bore you with another self-indulgent monologue next week.
Nevertheless, this is one of the core features of the Trading Story podcast: to keep you posted on my personal trading journey. And that’s what this is: part 2 of a personal update.
