Actually Zen and the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel is a pretty cool little read. You don't shoot at the target, you become the arrow and the target. Interesting parallels with trading.

Maybe if you're sweet to him, he'll mentor you.

This thread is a gag right?

If you have a viable trade plan and behave with consistent discipline as to the rules of your plan then it doesn't matter what the next move is, or the one after that or the one after that. You just need to be profitable over a statistically significant number of trades. If the drawdowns can too...

I wouldn't attempt to day trade with just one time frame. Not saying it can't be done but IMO it can hamstring you. What looks like "chop" (consolidation) may provide an excellent resumption setup for a higher tf. I use 3 tf's and start with the highest and down from there to get the whole...

What are the odds that some slick or two has PM'd him about an offer.

No, I bought the book but never used. The idea is full range but one or two very heavy reps.

Fred, Have you read Static Contraction Training by Peter Sisco?

I've referred to George Sheehan before. He was a cardiologist and marathoner who wrote for Runners World. He used to say "We are each an experiment of one." The point being, we each have to learn to listen to our own body to learn what we can and can't, should or shouldn't do.

Already Q's and K's and material change disclosure obligations...no need for this.

I hand enter all signals on a legal pad. Date, Number of that trade for the day (1,2,3 etc), entry price, time, type of signal (I have variations of basically the same thing). MFE, MAE, W or L and number of ticks gained or lost. I then print out actual executions for that day and compare. Did I...

The people who would make the best mentors (professional full time traders) are unlikely to be interested in mentoring. They don't need to and it's very time and effort intensive. Speaking for myself, the only reason I would agree to mentor would be if a close friend or family member wanted to...
