Sure, that will definitely feed my short bias. But I also really need to learn to go long. Else I'll miss all the action.

GG, what are you going to say? Some sicko fantasy of yours?!!

Thanks! But I've been trying to do that for the last few months. But what's confusing and messing this plan up is that the very next day I want to go long and the market goes down and I make decent money on my shorts! And that ONLY REINFORCES the short side some more! well, thanks for your...

Chaos, You got a point there. I don't think it's so much that I equate being long is wrong(Perhaps I do??? Hmm..) On my shorts, I use stops and sometimes I don't use stops(that's when I get into trouble with runaway rallies!). But when I'm in long, I have the lowest possible pain...

Yeah, I use 5min, 1min and tick chart. I think the tick charts have messed me up recently since I've always looked at the 5min and the 1min charts. So, I see a "down trend" on the tick chart but it's actually still going up. Just a pullback. But in terms of methodology, I think mine is pretty...

Yeah, and what's aggravating this is I've been trading BIG to make up the losses. And then a superrally comes along and accelerate the loss process with size! OUCH! I think starting tomorrow I'll trade the smallest possible size on LONGS! Just so I can get back what it felt like going LONG...

Let's say I'm old enough and young enough. :D But I'm serious about this problem. And HELL NO I'm interested in anyone on this site. I'm not here for a dating site. Just want some good trading help.

Lobster, Thanks for the suggestion. But today, ZN/ZB rallied hard. I would have gotten screw again if I tried shorting the bonds. But to feed my "short bias/psychological block/addiction or whatever" , I've been looking at things that are going down and shorting them. And they seemed to...

ChaosNSX, I mean something serious. The bat idea is a bit too much. I'm a girl! -k

Pabst, What are you doing wrong? The same thing? Please explain further. And have you overcome your problems? thnx, k

Hi ET Members: I just found your website. Looks pretty interesting. And I figure with all the experienced traders here, perhaps you guys can help me! For the last couple of months, I keep doing the WRONG THINGS OVER AND OVER! I can't for the life of me go LONG. I keep going short. And...
