07/12 Checking In & Million Dollar Traders on BBC

I've been insanely busy with work and the process of Starting From Scratch - the nitty gritty of getting other areas of my life in order in an effort to be able to trade seriously one day.

Some of this has included doing a 37-day Master Cleanse (yes, 37 days!), doing as much work as I can to make as much money as I can, and putting together a simple set of trading rules that suit me - which have shown to be quite profitable over the past 2 1/2 months that I've been testing it on a daily basis.

I was also able to find download links for the BBC show "Million Dollar Traders" (full episodes without the advertising that the YouTube videos had), and I've been thoroughly enjoying playing the episodes in the background to keep me inspired while I'm doing other work. The way the participants on the show trade is far from optimal in my mind, however I find it wildly entertaining and inspiring. I'd love to have the opportunity that they had…I think.

If you haven't already discovered the links yourself and you'd like to see it, here's a place to start.

The process of downloading them is slow (it took me about a day and a half) because the free file sharing sites make it slow going if you're not going to subscribe. Also, they're compressed in .rar format so you'll need to be able to compile them once they're downloaded (I used StuffIt on my Mac) and they expand into .avi's.

Hope everyone is having a good summer and good trading.
