1 Time and health is far more valuable than money. You can lose your entire net worth and then regain it 100x more. But every second you lose is a second you can never regain. And the damage that losing time/money causes to your health is unrepairable. 2 The mind deals with gain...

You seem like a new trader. You fear loss and respect risk. This risk/loss sensitivity is the only thing that will protect your capital from the dangers of overtrading. With this risk sensitivity you will definitely survive and persist long enough to find low risk entries that you are...

This is actually a good temporary solution.

OVX is the volatility index for crude oil. I think its a good monitoring tool. I'm thinking of trading CL options as a way to trade volatility and longer term moves.

If you are trading mean reversion in options with a long bias then its you're probably better off selling puts in order to take advantage of IV deflation. Of course the mere mention of selling naked puts outrages many traders with many horror stories to tell about that strategy but as long as...

Pro trading is like pro sports - you're never too young to start. And the younger you start the better you are able to take advantage of neuroplasticity of the brain. Its no secret that no trading firm hires any new traders over the age of 30 unless they have an established track record...

Right now I trade futures retail (5 years experience). I avoid trading equities retail do to limited leverage, the wash sale rule, higher commissions, and tax reasons (avoiding a 500 page 1040 schedule D with 10 million+ in reported sales to the IRS). I want to get back into equities trading...

In trading cognitive dissonance is what sets the grieving process in motion. Your ego tells you something opposite what the market tells you. This creates dissonance in your brain which then you try to reduce by ignoring what the market tells you to do. Then you start the grieving process.

SSF's basically have no volume whatsoever - even for QQQQ. And even for QQQQ futures you have large spreads. And I doubt SSF's will ever take off. As far as I know IB is the only broker that offers them and that's only because it owns OneChicago. No other broker will ever offer SSF's...

Nice chart but note that gold can easily drop 25% from here and still track the Nasdaq bubble. Gold chart is showing that upside momo is fading fast and a double top is forming. I think we can see a quick selloff as deflation not inflation is what every other market other than gold is...

C has been so diluted that at $45 a share C would have a market cap of over a trillion dollars - that will never happen. Even at $10 it would have a market cap around 250 billion which was around its peak market cap during the very height of the debt bubble. So even $10 is a long shot...

If you don't have a text messaging plan and you send/receive 1 GB worth of texts (average size texts), you'd get billed $1,310,720.00. AT&T's Text Messages Cost $1,310 per Megabyte: http://techcrunch.com/2008/07/01/atts-text-messages-cost-1310-per-megabyte/

Considering that you have to pay taxes on dividends, dividend income barely overcomes the negative impact of inflation over time. <a href='http://www.simplestockinvesting.com/SP500-historical-real-total-returns.htm'><img...

Factor in inflation and the ten year return is probably close to -50%. And yet we are still not at fair value if you look at the Schiller PE 10 Ratio:

Each time you trade your "setup" you build skills and intuition trading that "setup". Each time you fade or ignore your "setup" you start erasing/negating all the skills and intuition you built up trading the "setup". So over time too much fading and ignoring your system erases all the...

Excellent post Giucco, thanks. So far Dennis Dick is the only guy that clearly foresaw the potential for what happened on 5/6 based on how RMBS traded for a very brief period of time.

I want to let you know that I do appreciate you calling your trades and posting your blotters. Lots of traders, new and experienced, can learn a lot from your patience and discipline which results in an extremely high level of consistency and extremely high risk adjusted returns. No one on...
