Lol, this thread is funny. Here i am thinking this is recent, its from 07. I doubt this is the same person anyways. But still a good read.

I agree

I guess if your going to be biased in anyway, that would be the best bias to have, lol.

Correct, i agree. And thats where experience comes into play. Often times, by the time one realizes the market is ranging, they are already in the negative and fighting to get what they have lost back. The second one notices price is ranging, its better to just leave the screen and take a walk...

This is very simple, i dont know why people want to make it complicated. Or maybe we are all talking about the same thing, but a different way. But the point is, after you place a trade based on your chart observations, and you find out the trade is going in the wrong direction, and your in the...

So how is this the worst advice?? What advice do you have? I know from personal experience, when i take a bad trade, its mainly do to the bias i have, as opposed to what the charts are telling.

This thread has taken quite the turn. With news, you can sometimes know what the numbers will be by looking at the chart. Just have to watch out for the shakeouts, but there are many traders who dont even pay attention to the news and just trade the charts and it works well for them

LMAO, the onion, always good for a good laugh.

So very true, the times when i have had a bad run or losing trades is when i have a bias. I tend to develop this at times by hanging around forums and actually paying attention to where someone says price is heading, the worst possible thing one can do. So for that, i try to not pay attention...

Im sure this is something that all traders have to deal with. So i guess i would say, take it in stride, dont over think too much, i see there have been good suggestions, even doing a little bit of this helps. i normally go to the local Y and play some afternoon basketball about 3 times a...

I definitely agree that luck plays a big role in all of this. Right place, right time, etc.... But now, one question i do have is, is it safe to say, if someone can make 100k a year consistently, then shouldn't that person be able to make 500 a year as well. Then its just a matter of...

Interesting story, i knew there had to be more to the story. Good info.

Just had to mention, its good your starting out small, thats the best way to go about it. But with that said, i would def add a lil money to that account so it really means something to you. If your talking about funding a big account to trade, i cant imagine the 200 or so your trading with...

Haha, what is this thread coming to. I think its time to shut it down. Good one though, very well written.

700 to 25k, gosh, im trading the wrong instrument, do you have a P/L statement we could see?

So are you speaking from experience here. I assume your a successful trader who used the same method? Or how can you be so confident this is a short cut?

Yeah, give the guy a break, hes making money, and showing us his PnL.

What do you trade??

Im following here. So whats the goal with this account?? Any targets?

Do you even know him?? i mean, what makes you think he is a bad dad and that his kid doesn't have all that he or she needs. As a matter of fact he has said repeatedly that his child has all that he or she needs. Lets sit back and watch the show, for all we know this person might really be able...
