almost all my money ( + 6 figures/ year) trading only the first 15 or 20 minutes. damn on a good day i 'm done and turn my computer off at 9:37 - but since the markets been so shitty i usually stick around till after the 10:00 #'s if there are any.
i have been at a prop office for 7 years- i have seen probably 200 to 300 traders come and go - you know how many are successful women? ZERO - cause like smokey says they got no balls - i think its human nature to be risk averse , but more so for women. it's just the way it is accept it .
you are thinkin way to much - i just go in every morning with an open mind , read the market environment - buy the shit i think is gonna go up and short the shit i think is gonna go down -then cash out after i make $5k to $10k . see, easy!
i make about $500k/yr with only 2 monitors so let's see 4 should be a MILL, 8 should be $2MILL, 80 monitors should be $20 MILL, i think i'll go down to the store tommorow and pick up 78 more monitors
down i knew i wanted to be short. i was short into the halt covered on the open went long and sold into the close. SIX figure day!!!! you gotta be on the same side as the smart money or your gonna get killed
would you prefer the Apple dual 1.25 gig G4 with the HD 23" flat panel or the Dell P4 2.8 gig with the 20" flat panel? shit you know what don't worry i'll send you both !!!!!
