Garachen, I appreciate your posts and your comments answering questions. This may have been asked already, but I scanned the first several pages and saw nothing. For a college graduate - what would you recommend one do in order to pursue a career at a 'trading company' as opposed to...

[/B] Already liked this post after this. [/B] The desperate are just gamblers at a new slot machine. I'm curious what you think about the game 'Stratego'.

What? Sorry but I politely disagree with nearly all of this. Of course it is dependant on your status and your personality, however it is very possible to situationally control the majority of your emotions through training. Personally, I take pride in the fact that when I began I had a...

I'm not even talking about his 'hedge fund', or whatever he has nowadays. I'm talking about his sub services, and using his subs to pump his positions. I don't have proof that that is what's going on, but the possibility of that happening seems pretty obvious.

That's the exact impression I get from my friends when I tell them I primarily only trade the first few hours of the day and have the profit targets that I do. Seems like unless I explain in great detail the pain and struggle one goes through to get to a profitable point in their career do they...

I think Jim would like the BOOYAH one better.

Questionable... We're talking pink sheets, not GOOG.

If you ask me, trading is a game. You're just playing your side of the game. I make probably more than 85% of my trading income on the short side. Given, I'm a daytrader, so the stocks I trade the bad news has already happen and I don't really care what news it was to begin with. Any more bad...

Definitely... as a matter of fact, in my experience, nearly impossible. There's so many benefits to networking nowadays - just THIS forum for example, or stocktwits, etc. While there's a lot of garbage, there's some diamonds in the rough, just have to find who is legit.

All of what this guy said. Would you rather make lots of money with lots of risk? Or lots of money with little risk? You don't even have to be a trader to answer B. for that question... It makes much more sense once you've implemented a strategy successfully ONE TIME to market that...

Best advice I can give you - find a mentor who has been successful for years consistently, and become a sponge. You sound like me when I started a few years ago and I'll say this: all that garbage technical analysis you were talking about did not help me one bit. Remember this - every trader...

With that crappy payout table you might as well take a few grand, join a trading arcade that super leverages your money, but pays out 100% and be willing to take a risk on whether or not the firm is legit. Maybe it's just me but I'd rather take a gamble on a trading arcade starting out than...

Trade stocks in play, make a plan, and most importantly, follow the plan. Also it helps immensely to know how a stock you're trading trades. What I mean by that is watch it's movements intra-day before trading via video replay or something.

Where have you seen that? I've never noticed anything like that on Stocktwits. That would be interesting.

I try to do this as littles as possible, especially considering I've been browsing this forum for years and have only now made my first post - but check out our website at younggunstrading.com I bring it up because it caters to younger traders going through school, etc. May have some insight...
