    struggling trader needs help

    2 things that can help, not in order. 1. Discipline. Set a rule to NOT trade after a loss for 1 month. If you can't follow this rule you are not serious about trading. You are using trading to satisfy some other ego needs that you might have. 2. Play with some math about expectation. You...

    America does not need saving. The quest for perfect life is admirable. S***t happens no matter your intentions. Get a bigger shovel. And ENJOY the ride.

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    Interestingly my trading has come to this: If price is trying to go UP and fails then go short. If the door opens and there is a goat, change doors. It feels more like playing a chest game than gambling. Works well.

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    MAESTRO for this to be true we need the knowledgeable insider. Are you saying that there is knowledgeable insider(s) on the market that will give us clues in the PA or maybe the masses themselve without knowing are giving us the information via the PA?

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    I think I get it. Assuming that the game is a betting game, and the car is worth $100,000, and you have to bet $40,000 to play the game. The chances of picking the correct door is 1/3. You do not have an advantage. Playing will be gambling. But assume the host (who knows where the car is)...

    Do You Think Trading is Gambling?

    How about this then: You have $10,000 you can afford to loose. You put all in a trade with 1 tick profit and a stop of a margin call or 0? You do this once. I feel this is less of a gamble then most of the systems discussed here. What if you do this 10, 50 and 100 times? We know that...
