Either adjust or sit out. Don't take the stance "when the mkt gets better". Some people are making money in this market and were losing in Feb. and vice-versa. What I do is keep my expectations low and this way I don't force trades and my results are better than my low expectations...

and to not be upset if you miss a move

Get a part time job where the hours don't conflict with trading. Is it possible for your wife to work part time? See what you can do to lower your monthly expenses. To lower your monthly mortgage payment (assuming you're not renting) have you refinanced your home to take advantage of...

Great post What you have suggested allows many losing trades and a few winners and one will come out ahead. But I do believe if the stop is too tight many trades will be stopped out ,that with a slightly larger stop would have been profitable. Enjoyed your post.

Thanks, but it's not there

A while back I saw a book mentioned on Elite Trader "How I made 1 million dollars trading commodities last year". I have not been able to locate it. The link to the website was www.future/resource.com Link no longer works. The book looked like it had some interesting chapters on...

Anyone get the $4.00 all inclusive rate without doing 50 round trips per month?

Wow! Unbelievable. For prices to be that low though what is the employment situation like?

I agree many people waste huge$ on cars. Most expensive car I ever bought was $4000. Many people I see spend 300-500 per month leasing a car and return it after 3 years. Insanity. OK I give up, are you going to reveal your state or county? I understand if you don't want to. Be...

My feeling is if interest rates shoot up many will not be able to keep their homes when the adjustment period comes. It does seem like a scary scenario because if and when rates go up prices generally go down. Someone forced to sell because they can no longer make the payments,and Real...

No mention of the fact that with lower interest rates home ownership is increasing, and many times there are similar monthly payments to own vs. rent. Granted you do need some kind of down payment. Many people with good credit and enough income can put down 3-5% and have a similar...

no after you log on to Realtick with the same user name and password on computer #2 it will log off the 1st computer after a minute or so.

I see where you can change the background to one of the 25 or so colors Real Tick has ,but I seem to remember you could select a custom color by varying the hue.

Does anyone know how to change the background color of a chart in Real Tick to a custom color as opposed to just the colors offered. I seem to remember this option in the past and can't find it. Thanks

Also in the Real Estate decline of 1987 the true speculators (people who bought apartment buildings in which the value was based on their condo value) suffered serious losses.Many of them had their properties foreclosed on when the condo market crashed. People who bought buildings in...

Many jobs include gambling. The main difference is you don't have to put up any money,instead you are gambling with wasting your precious time. The corporate worker who invests many years in his "safe job" to only become downsized. His company stock crashes and his company...

Well how long is this gag going to go on?:D

I look at the daily range as the High of day minus Low of day. Don't use that range to judge my performance though. Similar to Hawker, I look at range for setups which fit my criteria and how well I played them. Maybe down the road I would look at the daily range ,but for now trying...

As one reduces the width of their stops the size of their losers obviously decreases. But as one increases the width of their stops their win/loss ratio increases. My feeling is if you are generally correct on the mkt direction the wider stop is better. Would like to hear others...

Thanks for all the ideas everyone.
