Exactly! Lack of balls, physical balls. When men do it, people can more easily rationalize it away, because of them hairy balls.

Bankruptcy should ofc be avoided but in real live trading theres also commissions, accumulated losses in %, "cost" of spread, slippage, bad fills, errors, fat tail events, gaps, etc. How has this been covered in sim. Asking as this may be worse in daytrading than longer term and my own...

No longer term order flow/trend, or is that in excel? Volume by price is good statistics, in hindsight, but wont often contain whole future price swings. If theres a pattern how reliable is it, really? How to reduce uncertainty? Sim would never work for me, but if it does for you, sounds smart...

Dont never got no investment advice except obvious scams. Wont hear any either as need to go my own way and want to secure advancements rather than just take anything. My personal advice is do what you do best, make it realistic, simplify, rinse and repeat. Exciting first couple of years, then...

Nice list! Starting with #1 risks damage to psychology. In downtrend guaranteed losses will swamp any gains, or you could learn to cut winners short which is the wrong lesson. In chop, cutting losses short will cost some extra commissions, but can be doable when betting small. Though with high...

Nothing wrong with due process. Those processes are there because the internal customers complained, and techs couldn't figure out what they did before last weekend after doing what they've been told by users. So processes were put in place, and some companies succeeded and shared those...

Thanks for teaching me what not to say. I've always thought you should say everything on your mind, but now have been taught a lesson in more humility. :p

While it's doubtful a full trading plan can be replicated 100%, you certainly can learn and gain insights from how seasoned traders trade. If you see they do something you never do, you can start asking yourself why, and learn more about it. However, real traders would never just copy other...

Are you clear what you're trading, why it should work and what wouldn't work? Small losses is expected, so maybe you've really relaxed on holiday and not mentally prepared for harsh realities of markets? Can you spot wether markets have changed, or your trading have changed? If your trading has...

I usually welcome my demons with open arms. No training required, cause they just listen to people's whims and fantasies.

Weakness can be strength. If you are inflexible, you break more easily. Acknowledging that people are different, have different struggles and "assets", is also an important kind of strength - empathy. Without it, you can very suddenly make an ass out of yourself. In the end, absolutely all...

Only daily timeframe. Higher timeframes can be modeled in daily TF and below will cost money, so no. Have tried esignal before and might pay for it again if trading can pay for it. Think I'll be better equipped for intraday trading now than before, but don't have the time and motivation yet.

Not counting payouts/dividends et. al., price is what you'll be trading, unless you go directionless. This is why real traders are fanatic about "price action". Most talking-heads, however, are about a specific technique, not about their own subjective interpretation of price, what eventually...

You're asking alot of questions, which is good. However the way you ask is not necessarily going to help you much if it confuses you. Ask a bunch of traders a bunch of random questions, all you'll get is a bunch of random answers thrown back at you. Now, the discussion might be a bit interesting...

Different methods for different strokes is my bet. For the undisciplined dullards, threats and agitation may work to boost activity, interest and correctness. For the disciplined risk-averse, these methods may work against the goal of profitability. You can't really scare people into taking more...

Interestingly, some of Google self-driving cars are designed to exceed the speed limit: BBC Geek.com has some questions who will be liable for speeding Longer article on Slate.com Compromises will be made for sure.

Good link! My opinion: At this point in time, such complex anticipated holistic scenario-choosing is more of a philosophical debate rather than real-world AI problems to be solved right now. Pretty much due to immature technology, it's more of a theoretical R&D field. Problems with self-driving...

We're still in infancy of AI. Today, we're lucky if an AI recognizes a pedestrian, a baby from a fire hydrant. Lucky, and the AI needs to get it right for every frame, or else it might get wrong data for decision-making. In an entirely new situation, ie. where controls are reversed or broken...

Currently, no fear at all. Cut back on size until you could comfortably lose it all. Risk money is at risk of being lost forever! Keep SL wide where it's very improbable for price to visit. TODOs: consistency, verification and account size :p Only problem is it's too boring! ;)

Depends.. What do you plan to do with it?
