What instruments do you trade? And what is your average yearly return? I don't use margin.

Going big on a let's say 90% probability trade and making 10k is better than making $100 on 100 lower probability trades. Because the more often you enter and exit the market the more risk you take on in terms of slippage, execution errors etc. The more selective the better.

I guess this is a question of quantity vs quality in terms of growing your account. I feel going big on a few quality trades is better than taking a large number of small position sized trades.

I had a good trading day today. However my position size was $3k. I was told to go big on high probability trades. I have more than 50k in my account that is waiting to be used. This is not margin. However, I keep telling myself I will go bigger on the next trade. Would love to hear how others...

You probably don't know many female engineers. Beauty can go with brains. I will upload a picture.

Yes the GOP RINOS need to go. Vote them out in 2018 primaries!

Paul Ryan, John McCain and Mitch mcconnell are the worst.

Reduce your position size till you have more success and confidence.

Thank you all for your detailed response and for sharing your story. It is inspiring. The road to success is paved with failure.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes I think it is fear which comes from not enough practice and not enough trust in myself. Like when I first learnt to drive I was pretty sure I would have an accident. I have been driving for over 10 years now and not a single accident. All the while I have become...

I'm interested in hearing how you got started into trading? We all know trading takes a lot of time, money, discipline, etc. What were your struggles as a Trader? What obstacles did you have to overcome on your road to success? What psychological barriers did you have to overcome? How much did...

I am just curious about the "why" and the "how" of chart patterns that's all. Take traffic for example. Traffic stops at a light or stop sign due to certain rules imposed. So that is deliberate.

I know they are consolidation patterns. My question is are they deliberately created? That is is an institution deliberately buying an selling in quick succession so as to create a flag formation? If you say it is not deliberate then I am surprised that people are dumb enough to sell during a...

I guess this is a chicken or the egg question. But are chart patterns formed intentionally or unintentionally? Do institutions buy and sell in a fashion that creates a flag for example so as to signal to other traders. Or are patterns formed unintentionally?

I learnt a few lessons today: #1 Don't post during the market session. There is no time for analysis during trading hours. #2 Don't dwell on a bad trade. If I do then I will miss other potential good trades in the process. If I miss one, I need to move on to the next. #3 I need to have skin...

My exit strategy is to sell when the trend is broken or if it fails to breakout and I get stopped out.

Yes I have an afternoon job that pays 6 figures. This is just for experimental purposes like a scientist testing his thesis in a lab.

Week 1 Day 3 : +1% Not a good start. I hold the belief that a small gain is better than a small loss. So I exited the trade as soon as I had a small gain. In reality the stock is still going higher as I type this. I exited too early and left profits on the table. I need to learn that no risk no...

Like what lessons did it teach you?
