    The Subconscious mind...

    "noticer of paterns" is easy. I keep trade logs, I note things like long or short, where is the overall trend (for those of us that actually believe that markets can trend), etc. Plus I also put in comments on my frame of mind at the time I took the trade. Simple things like anxious...

    The Subconscious mind...

    Steve, you are doing good in the 200-600 dollar range, maybe because you feel comfortable there. You need to feel comfortable at higher ranges first. Sometimes all it takes is how you think about it. I got my son through a skateboarding hurdle that way. He would not go on the big vert...

    Brand new traders..........read this

    this is a good post. The other thing is follow the rules. Dont have 2,3, or 10 good trades in a row and think you know something, so you can skip some of the rules, cause thats when you get bit. ps: Samson, what negativity? Living in NJ, I barely noticed.

    Building confidence

    I just finished reading "The way of the warrior-trader" by McCall. Cheesy title, but I really liked the way he linked trading to Samaruai training. Entertaining read, it made a few things click for me that I had read other places.

    The treacherous path to $200k a year

    Usually you do not want to listen to a lawyer for investment advice. Unless he makes a shitload of money from doing the same investments you are trying to do. If so, he won't be a lawyer for long. The lawyer is there for one reason, to protect your ass with the LEGAL DETAILS of the deal...

    How did you get into trading?

    He started from nothing, poor and broke. Now he owns companies. Basically he will give you cash today for your car, house, business, plane, etc. Then he turns around and sells it for market value.

    How did you get into trading?

    No. I am lucky enough to gain some good business contacts. But you are correct, $300 would have been cheap to go up there. Pretty friggin impressive. Basically it made me realize there is another world out there. Where there is so much money they can piss it away for decades and still...

    How did you get into trading?

    You got that right. I was up in the penthouse of the Mandarin Oriental a while back. 8,000 sguare foot apartment on the 80th floor, with 360 degree views of Manhattan, all for a measley 45 million dollars. Plus a monthly maintenence fee of $42,000, each and every month. I would be somewhat...

    How did you get into trading?

    No, you are not the only one. I was trading stocks and kept getting his postcards and letters. I would read through them and throw them in the trash, where they belonged. Or so I thought. Then my brother called me cause he fell for the postcard and ordered his kit. Was papertrading and...

    How did you get into trading?

    Your not kidding, 6 figures in new york city, still means you have a ways to go. :D I read an article a few months ago that said if you live in south of some street (forget which street, but its below houston) that the poverty level was $78,000 a year. I guess those $8...

    IQ and trading

    That 4000 people in the world thing seems wrong. I forwarded it a group of freinds and all of them figured it out. Knowing them the way I do, I agree they are very smart, but are they the top 4,000 brains on the planet? I don't think so. Unless hanging around me has brought their average way...

    Moving Average

    The half a dozen good ideas he refers to are pretty simple. What exactly are you looking for? Sometimes a thing is reduced down over the years to its simplest form. You can use it, or spend years looking for something simpler.

    IQ and trading

    I played with it a few times. These friggin things get addictive. Once you figure it out you gotta try to find shortcuts. I am bored with it now. It has already wasted two hours of my life that I cant get back. LOL. PS: I did pass it on to a group of freinds. They are currently...

    "Wiped Out" by Anonymous Author

    LOL. That is funny. Reminds me of the time I ordered the "DIY home circumsion kit" for only $200. Guess I should have read the reviews on Amazon before ordering that.
