Thanks for the response. I had honestly lost hope! I'll respond to your comments. 1) Warrior Trading. I just read the full review on tradingschools.org, thanks for that. Most of it was not new to me because I'm a cynic by nature but, admittedly, I fell into the trap. Anyway, I don't want to...

I only joined recently and I'm shocked Louis Winthorpe was available as an ID!

One of the most overlooked and arguably underrated trading rules is to actually choose a strategy and, by extension, rules which closely align with your character and personality. If you haven't got the personality required to be an opening bell GAP or MOMO trader, rules are meaningless. For...

There was a funny analogy I heard recently which probably isn't new to you guys: "You go up the stairs and then down the lift" which I assume refers to the speed of a typical long versus short move. Made me laugh.

Fasting between 12 hours and even days is extremely beneficial to the body. Tim Ferriss discusses ketosis fasting a lot in his books and on his podcasts.

A lot of the responses in this thread focus on answering the question literally as if there is a definitive answer that is a one-size-fits-all. I'm still relatively new to trading but a conclusion I've come to very quickly is that some traders have a more innate ability/bias for shorting and...

Hi Zodiac - thanks for the response. I acknowledge but also slightly disagree. I used to play a lot of online poker when I lived in the U.K. (I obviously can't now I live in Dubai but it remains my first love!). I see so many similarities between trading and poker and it's no wonder successful...

Smallfil, bit of a stupid newbie question but is there a shortcut way to calculating this on the fly without getting a calculator out (I actually have an Excel calculator which works fairly well). Alternatively, it would great if there was a custom hot key I could set up in Lightspeed which...

Hi expiated, thanks for the response. Well, so far, you are the only response so not well so far. Honestly I didn't expect any but it was worth a shot. To your questions, I'm new enough to trading that I feel I'm still deciding what my style of trading is. So far it has revolved around day...

Hi all - I've been reading the forums for a few months and now that I'm beginning to take trading more seriously, I'd like to start contributing and taking my trading knowledge to the next level. One thing I lack which seems to be highly recommended by almost all successful traders is a trading...
