One of the interesting stories that lift the name of Michael Marcus, a legendary commodities trader graduate of psychology, University Clark’69, USA. Start a trading career in 1972, he was sacrificing savings which is amounted to 700 U.S. dollars for a futures contract and expand to 64 thousand U.S. dollars in one year.

Marcus has best known reputation for having successfully doubled the 30 thousand U.S. dollars to 80 million U.S. dollars in less than 20 years. He also has 10 luxury homes and mansions in various parts of the world, which might never sleeps.

It’s really wonderful to see the fields that have been tilled Marcus. However, in reality he had to alert every 2 hours to watch an ever-changing market conditions. Busyness is extraordinary, resulting in a tragic tale of the household. In a book titled “The predictors”, which was authored by Thomas Bass, there was a note: “His wife left him”, but Marcus was too busy to notice. “. Yes, his wife left him, because he was more concerned with trade than the people he loved.

A moral message is “if you love something, keep trying. However, do not expect it to be easy “. Not easy, but is it appropriate to be fought for? I personally do not advise you to make sacrifices beyond the limits for success in trading. However, would like to remind you (as traders) in order to realize the importance of life balance in trading and non trading (priority).
