Another big one for me was to actually be more in nature.

Also, being kind to yourself and others. I think a key factor in life is to accept that you are to a very large degree responsible for your own well-being and happiness. Once you accept this you empower yourself and can start taking the right actions to shape your own destiny. How does your...

Yes. Your entire post seems very negative and one where you blame external factors. People shoveling food in their face shouldn't affect you in any way. Depression is usually an internal thing. It's very easy to think this or that is the cause of your depression. It can have many causes. I've...

So predictable. :)

Yeah. That was a good sell and a quick reversal of a key level. Should see a little dip going into the Close, but remains to see if we'll trend all the way into the close or we'll see a nice little uptick in the tail. :) 4415 first, though.

Low probability of closing above 4440. Even lower closing above 4450. Good sell coming up here if momentum stalls here at 38/40, but do use a stop. :)

Interesting comments. Are you now making good money after nearly throwing up learning what's 'obvious'?

Yes. I think many day traders (myself included) trade with too high leverage such that they can't 'weather the gyrations' as you call it. That's a big reason why the failure rate is so high. If day traders leveraged down it's quite possible they'd be more successful simply on that adjustment...

Care to elaborate? It's no surprise as directional day trading is probably the most difficult skill to master. You really need to be on top of your game at all times. In addition to knowing when to play and when not to play. For sure. Long have been the right play for most of the last 10...

I think most traders who make active decisions to buy/sell lose with day trading clearly being the most difficult of all approaches since you're executing/making decisions in real time with live prices flashing in front of you. Without a plan/edge you are likely to very quickly deplete your...

I'm not impressed with Ninja, either, although there are some respectable users on this board who are. That said, I'm a lifetime license user and both trade with and through Ninjatrader. Since I know how to use this software fairly well and have developed several custom indicators for NT I'm...

People who are not rich make all kind of assumptions based on what they think they would be doing if they were rich. Warren Buffet still goes to work every day and lives a frugal lifestyle, although he clearly does not need to and could be snorting coke on a yacht.

Indeed. Is there any reason a trader would choose anything other than the LiveSim account? If I understand correctly, the drawdown rules are easier and you also don't have to pay exchange fees? $105 per month? Can you say anything about that custom offer? Okay. So, to be clear and...

Partnering with someone as in sharing my research/trading model and developing it together with a programmer for mutual benefit?

I'm not sure if it's intentional, but you're easily one of the funniest guys around here. Also, I agree. :)

I've spent a few years developing the 'stuff' I have in collaboration with programmers and it is indeed very time consuming, frustrating and labour intensive. I'm looking into re-writing it and making some changes, but just the thought of it now is a bit overwhelming as I know how painful it...

I've no idea to be honest. But I've seen people I respect speak highly of AmiBroker, hence my recommendation to check it out.

If you're exploiting an inefficiency in the market you obviously don't want others to mess with what you're doing as the inefficiency will disappear. Think for example arbitrage. Liquidity isn't un-limited at any given time/location in the market. If you let others in on what you're doing...

If you do one of their regular programs, then you're live as soon as you pass (a minimum of 15 days), yes. This so called "career path" program is different as you have to go through all the 5 programs and pay for each of them. Assuming you're passing each within 15 days, that's 75 trading...

Yes.
