Those thoughts have cost me more money than I care to even think about. I still have trouble after all these years keeping away from taking trades when the market starts to move one way because I'm afraid I'm going to miss out on a nice move. My strategy calls for low risk entries and many...

Hey 4D, I wouldn't quite say I'm a profitable trader yet, but it is turning around. I'd like to see 6 months of profitability before I feel comfortable making that statement. I've been trading for about 4 - 5 years. Its been a long tough road.

For those of you who remember me I'm finally turning my trading around to profitability. I've learned to maintain discipline, wait for good entries, learned to bail when a trade doesn't go my way but I'm still having trouble letting my winners run. As soon as I see enough profitability on...

Can you give us more info. on this? how'd they react and why? thanks

Just finished watching Episode 8 and I still dislike Brett. Did anyone notice his reading material when he was unpacking "Busting Vegas"? They didnt' show much on the floor this show either.

I agree, I don't really care if he's gay either. I just don't like him. Does he really think we give a shit that he has a speech to give and that he participates in some triathlon? If y'all are like me I'm watching to see market activity. I agree, Larry's parts are the best. Although...

I"m starting to wonder if he's gay. Remember the party he had on his roof top, there were women present and he said he was getting ready to kick everyone out so he could get some sleep. Hell the reason I'd throw a party like that is so I could get laid.

I'm so sick of this Brett guy. You never see him doing anything Market related and he's dull as Hell. I like Latitia but they should have covered more than just her so we could still see what's going on at that Prop Firm. Her segments are getting boring now too.

I know exactly what you are talking about. My system calls for me to exit trades if they do not go my way right away but find myself unable to exit with even a 1 - 4 tick loss on the ER. I also find I'm very reluctant to take trades because I'm aware of this flaw and usually miss out on a...

I agree. I don't know what the purpose of having this guy on there is. His segments aren't entertaining at all and offer very little to do with the markets.

I think you're right

is being attentive and ready when the opportunity develops. I'm finding it very difficult to keep my concentration level up to make sure I'm ready to take a trade when the setup occurs. I'm usually distracted by email, phone call..etc.. its so easy to turn away from the screen and miss...

Strategy Runner is currently down too through Global

Dumb question but can you set your computer to beep every 5 minutes? if so, how? I trade off of 5 min. charts and the close of the bar is usually when i decide to take a trade and I miss so many because I'm not paying attention to the screen, loose track of time. If not I'm sure there's...

I agree to an extent. And I understand missing some good trades is as much a part of trading as is losses. But to me to be a good trader is to take the signals when presented and I'm not doing that.

It's always one thing or another but I do feel like I'm getting awfully close to consistent profitability. The hardest thing for me to overcome now is once I'm up for the day I'm too content to sit on it. I'm happy with netting 1 pt. in the ER and once I reach that I pass on plenty...

I've really made a change in the way I trade. I"m a little more aggresive with some entries with very low risk but can afford it due to the risk/reward. It's really made a difference. The big key is having the discipline to get out if the market doesn't go my way right away.

Like I always do.. Like an Idiot

I used to feel that way. Like I was failing because I wasn't trading basically. It's a long road. I take it you trade at a Prop firm?

Not sure what's wrong with me today. I just don't feel like trading. Can't concentrate. I'm tired from a long weekend. Definitely drank too much beer yesterday. Oh well.. there's always tomorrow. At least I'm getting smarter and realizing not to when my head's not in it instead of...
