    What do you do after a losing trade?

    Journal immediately after you close out a trade. Do not look for another trade - you are too emotional right now (newbies only, not us veterans, who've been through the wars and have the scars to prove it.) Treat trading like a science experiment - which it is - how did the experiment go...

    I'm out

    Here's my 2 cents after having traded full time for 10 years exactly this year: In reality trading is simple and it can be easy - if only we made it simple and easy. But our heads are filled with so much junk - beliefs, thoughts, stories on loop we keep telling ourselves, stories that are...

    The "Aha" Moment!

    For anyone that believes there is only one way to make consistent profits in the market, they are wrong. There are many, YOU the trader have to develop a method that works best for yourself, and hone it, trust it, and ultimately become so good at deploying this methodology that trading becomes...

    Day Trading is a Powerful Addiction

    Most people are not WELL CAPITALIZED enough to trade and more importantly they don't have their psychology in place - this alone will take years to master - and if you don't have the discipline to follow the rules you have setup for yourself, you'll never make it. So go ahead and gather up...

    What was the ***last*** thing you had to master before becoming profitable?

    Not one breakthrough but a few: Most Important: Never being bothered by the outcome of one single trade - always looking at monthly numbers. Never ever moving the stop - why? see above. This is a business of probabilities - you won't win on every trade. Trading small - that way the losses are...

    Please shed some light on a troubled noob.

    My friend. Your range is too tight. 2 to 3 ticks? That is suicide. Put your stop loss at 5 points; 20 ticks and profit at 10 points; 40 ticks and trade 2 contracts, then you actually might have a chance in surviving in this business.

    Very sad day...

    Trading is all about making mistakes and then never making those mistakes again. Like others have said, never ever hold on to a position through earnings; the emotional devastation of a loss is much greater than the euphoria of winning. If you must trade through earnings buy a small call or put...

    here's a post by Marcos Lopez de Prado from 2 days ago: "How many times have you been told that math is not good enough for investing? That markets are way too complex for being modeled? That quant methods are no match to a discretionary trader's insight? The reality is, some of the most...
