Because I don't want to be tethered to a desk during the day. My free time is valuable and I like having lots of it.

He lives! Ha Ha. I'm still around, still trading. Not very active compared to the old days, but still a few trades most days. I'm more of a swing trader now, actually working towards being just an 'investor'. I've been mainly focused on the cannabis sector for a few years now. I manage my...

Still alive, still trading every day. At the point in my career now where I'll trade if I feel like it or if the opportunity is good, but I'm close to switching to putting in 30 minutes a day of work and managing a swing trade portfolio. I'm still daytrading a couple hours most days because...

Why wouldn't you be on steroids? It works, you're not competing in a drug tested sport. Hollywood actors don't do heavy-ass squats?

Just local meets. I'll compete as a master in the 105kg class. I'm about 94kg now but trying to get to 100kg/220lb

This sounds like my training sessions. I'm training to compete in olympic weightlifting and 2+ hour training sessions is pretty common, but there is a lot of sitting around. Just make sure you're eating a lot during the day. I try to have a meal about 90 minutes before I work out. I'll put...

This is the deal I've done in the past as a mentor: I teach you my system and chat with you daily as you learn the system and I shape your thinking, teaching you how to think and operate as a trader You put up enough money in your own account that I have to sign off on withdrawals from We split...

My snatch is really progressing after over a year of stagnation. I'm gonna hit 91kg/200lb for the snatch in the next month. Started the Hatch squat program yesterday (you can google it). I did it last fall and thats when I set my pr (380lbs). It's a two day a week program that lasts 12...

If you are experienced, meaning you've been trading for a while now, and you have ridiculously good stats then you probably have a pretty good sized account to work with. Why not stay retail with portfolio margin? Almost 7:1 leverage and none of the hassle of being prop. There are prop...

I have one in my gym. I've seen it fix a tight sacral joint in about a dozen reps. I think it's great for prehab/rehab work.

I started doing crossfit 4 years ago after destroying my knee in a motorcycle accident. The last two years it's morphed into mainly olympic lifting, though I still do a couple wods most weeks. I've actually got a great setup at home and basically run a full on gym. I coach and train with...

The point not mentioned in this thread yet is who is your competition? Who's on the other side of your trade? Penny stocks it's probably some retail 'investor' who read about it on some pumper site and barely knows how to enter an order. The other side of your options trade is a professional...

IB has a pretty good short list and hard to beat commission rates.

I only trade stocks

Has anyone been active in this sector lately? I'm not going to post any tickers because of the penny stock thing, but there is a lot of stuff going on here and tons of money being made already. Just wondering if any experienced traders are involved. Seems to be mostly complete newbies and a...

I've spent a good portion of my career only trading the open and the first hour of the day. Market opens at 7:30 am here and some days I'm already out golfing while other people are just getting to work. Daytrading can mean a lot of different things. It can also be more or less profitable...

Here's the flaw with your logic. You need more than just time to figure it out. You also need money to trade. If you bleed away all your money taking the time to figure it out, it won't matter if you finally get it, because you won't be able to trade anyway! A previous post summed up the...

So people aren't making money trading against the trend? Or do you just mean that you can't do it? Neke has a system that makes money, he just keeps doing things outside the system that gives it all back.

Of course everyone wants money, freedom, etc from the market. That't not at all what I'm talking about. As you have already realized, trading is mostly a battle of YOU against YOURSELF. Many many traders know what to do, yet ignore their rules or rationalize bad decisions. Many chronic...

Read the history of his posts. He has a profitable strategy yet manages to lose money consistently by doing the same thing over and over. And every blow up post-trade analysis is the same. "Why do I keep doing this?" "I realize I have no discipline". "I recognize that this behavior will...
