Thanks for sharing your experience. Slick indeed.

+1 . Totally agree. Most of the 90% are the ones who "kinda tried it" for a few months, failed in their first few trades, and quit. They forgot what it was like when they first tried walking. They fell so many times before finally getting it. And then months before they were able to run. And...

That's not what I said. 90% fail to reach success because they follow that same rationale. 1) I never said that success in one field begets success in another. That's like saying Peyton Manning would have been a great Sumo Wrestler. Wrong. Following that logic is why the majority fails. If...

90% fail in trading because those 90% would have failed to reach success in any competitive environment. Period.

(the answer I posted to your question in a different thread) The probability analogy between blackjack and trading is a huge stretch. It's true that playing probabilities in blackjack and poker do confer an edge in these games, but Tom seems to forget that in trading, the cards don't have a...

First of all, I am sorry that the account got wiped out. Your situation is quite unusual. As previously stated, nowdays everything is monitored electronically and the borker will have a system that automatically liquidates the position. I would guess that it was probably a small brokerage...

What about TOS? With volume, their fees are negotiable, and their platform has a lot of features.

True. 95% always look for the easy road and shortcuts. God bless them. :) otherwise, the competition will be even harder. :D ( i just wouldn't say "at everything", I would say at everything worthwhile. Eventually they settle and get on.)

First of all, I totally agree that common sense is what matters above everything else. Most lack it, and that's why most aren't profitable. Agreed (to your first premise), in the sense that a "better" timed entry (quotations marks because some might disagree about anyone being capable of...

The EXIT is the MOST important thing.

Meant : If it does Not work, just fire them.

All I can say is that It does help me. I have a family package and my wife appreciates the training too. We are both going to graduate school, so it just helped us from getting a "tunnel vision" in our thought process. It doesn't help develop deep cognitive thinking, but it helps in developing a...

Did you try lumosity? great stuff. it keeps you sharp.

No, as originally stated in a different post, I am not affiliated with them. I just really appreciate what they offer, and it helped me. If someone else can benefit, so be it. I will ignore your "telephone tough guy/sarcastic" attitude, and I am doing very well, thank you.

Check out tastytrade.com You will learn more from there than any other book, except the book you just read and McMillan. A friend recommended the website a couple of months ago, was skeptical at first, but now I love it. Its whole intent is directed towards the home gamers, and it really...
