    Reminiscences of the Bubble

    That market may not happen again, but we will surely see bubble's like it in other areas. Read the book, "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles Mackay. It's a great book that discusses all the infamous bubbles throughout history. Anyone have any guesses as to...

    Would anyone care to shed light on the "stock trading getting worse" thread, please. I trade in So. Cal., where this all apparently took place and don't know what it's all about. Just curious...

    Throwing in the towel

    For several years I only traded intraday momentum. This last year I gravitated towards whatever strategies seemed to be working. Everything from pairs, overnight, position trading, opening orders. Whatever was working for a little while would soon fade. Trying to find a competitve edge in...

    Throwing in the towel

    I was trading prop. A relative is bringing me in as an assistant. The job pays a high salary + bonus incentives. I'm sure I can speak for many here that I didn't get into trading to make $40k a year. Yes, that is decent money, but most of the people in this business are extremely ambitious...

    Throwing in the towel

    I've been trading as a career for the last eight years. I've done well for myself and have had an absolutely amazing time learning and implementing various strategies. However, during the last year, trading has become way too inconsistent of a way to make money, at least for me. I thought I...

    40yo's new career or bust

    some people are just crappy traders, so they think that nobody else can succeed at it. everyone's gotta start somewhere. i've managed to earn a successful living trading, and this guy put forth a lot more effort than i did before jumping in the trading waters. 40yearold, the market will...

    40yo's new career or bust

    one of the most difficult things about trading a "system", is actually sticking to the system. it's a heck of a lot easier in paper trading to say that you won't deviate from the plan, but once it's real-time, real-money, you'll have instances where you'll want to tighten your stop, or lock in...

    The Daytrader Stigma

    i don't know where these statistics come from that 99% of daytraders lose??? i've worked in a few different offices for a few different companies and i would say that of the people that give it at least 6 months to learn how to trade, most of them (over 50%) make money. in my office right now...

    tampa's "short skirt" trades...

    the problem is that you are a negative reinforcement for most traders. no offense, but you are a mess. you have absolutely no discipline. i get the impression that you expect to lose.

    Any Recovering Traders?

    I used to think I traded better when I was hungover. I thought I was trading more off of subconscious instinct and less off of a rational thought process. Not to say I would get wasted every night, but it seemed like once or twice a month I would go in hungover and do well. After several more...
