Bad things happen to stupid people (Don Miller).... Now here’s a guy that must of busted his ass to get up to $3mil daytrading the ES. Don appears to be a great trader but a LOUSY risk manager. By his own words, I believe he day trades 20-100 at any given time and using a comfortable...

Great article Swan!

Also think Check it and a few others (make valid points) that mention all the discipline and knowing yourself will not make u a winner if u don’t have the skills…but it will keep u in the game much longer in order to continue your quest for the “edgs”… Just because i can outlast 99%...

I believe Rolex is right on... as i still believe that even if commissions were free the same # of people would still lose... Case in point: when i go back and look at my journal of my worst losing trades due to human emotional error ( let the loser go to far-unable to take the smaller...

Dee makes a great point BUT I believe the OP is talking about the comparison of the game of poker and trading… not the personality type of each. Also have to point out Dee’s definition of “pro poker player”…I don’t believe there is a true professional tournament player who males...
