What’s up everyone bidslamminbobby here ready to share some lessons learned.  Hopefully they will be implemented appropriately in 2019! 🙂 First, before I start I have to say I am most grateful to Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior for all He has done allowing me to overcome huge non trading related struggles during 2018. …

What’s up guys! Madaz here, coming at you guys with another information-packed blog post where I will discuss 2018, the lessons I learned, and how I plan on improving on myself to become a better trader in 2019. 2018 was a great year is so many ways.  It was overall a pretty good year in terms of profits as I …
