    Stop losses. Are they the tools of winners or losers?

    averaiging down crude is wrong trading. crude will not go to zero, yes. I think you do not know future trading. future tradig is like bucket shop. 1 contract crude's margin is around $5400 currently, that means if you account is around that size, you went broken or wiped out if crude goes...

    Stop losses. Are they the tools of winners or losers?

    in some cases stop loss is not suitable, for example overnight individual stock trading, even in the tading session, stop loss still does not work, for a rare case, the market suddenly suspends its trading activity, and it will post pending news. so stop loss really is misunderstood or...

    GC explained?

    I traded trends, do not care about what instruments they are. of course I need know my risk (tick value, margin call point). just noticed gold post nicely up trend chart, tried to figure out where the support it is. 1130~1133 seems great support. I found actually any market is just...

    nice job. but you should not lock your view about a thing. the best trader never uses bias to trade, just the direction. No pre-set opinion is the best mental status since market may quickly turn around and throw at your face and negnate your view. if you lock a view, you could not see...

    Weinstein Trading and Fading

    too bad, you did not reshort it. I covered it at 13.67. yesterday the market is too strong. I saw REV is shooting, but too late. so this morning I was prepared to gow with those profit takers. the whole market is strong, not good for shorting. be cautious.

    Weinstein Trading and Fading

    fading is not a good trading style if the market is in a relentless rally or drop, i.e., trending market. better find some no-where (range-bound) stocks, like selling the resistance or buy supoort will be more productive using fading strategy.

    mathematically 0.618 is a very important number. 7 is way off 0.72. 5 is way off 1.18. only 6 is way off 0.18, the nearest, that is why it is the almost best. of course, I use 6.25, since that is the nearest best number. trading is math game

    my suggestion: go with the big trend, do not do day trading, do not use 6point stop loss, use 30point stop loss, enter a trade and wait at least 3days. day trading is only for fast fingers

    I do not think trading is an art. trading is a mental game. Noda can be a trading master in his paper account, but why she still struggle in her real account? in paper account, she can take out as much money as she wants, but in her own account, while take out a couple hudreds is a task...
