We all know that trading is a lonely game. So what do you guys do about it? My friends and family dont really care about the technical indicators market analysis I'm doing. Understandably to them it's all blah blah blah. In other lines of works when you figure something at the very least you...

what?

Anyone ever hear about these guys?

In like March 2008 Altria (MO) dropped like 50% in like a day...does anyone know why or where I can find out why?

Hey guys... What do you think? Right now I'm using 1 min so I'm getting more "get ins" but also more fake ones...On the other hand the risk should in theory be lower because the higher the time frame the more I have to be willing to risk to lose meaning a 3 tick win vs 2 tick loss in 1...

Nice....anyone else??

I have a strategy that can be used on different instruments...Right now I'm using it on futures...mainly the mini's and 5 yr and 10 yr treasury... Is there any advantage or disadvantage to do it on stocks?

Ok buddy...Good one.

I did. I traded the ES and watch the 10 year...The moves are bigger but so are the potential losses.

Can you please tell me where you see from anything I've written how long I simmed? In fact, I simmed for 9 months so thanks for the insight.

???

I trade the 5 yr with a 25K account on a 1 lot.

Yes...without commission the range is losing 3-4 ticks on bad day or getting 4-8 on a good day.

Hey guys.... Yesterday I lose $4 and today I made about $10....Had I stuck to just trading my system I would have had 9 triggers and could've made 27 ticks off of it...I think part of me A. Hates trading one lots because it's like yay I made $82 for the day and B. A part of me doesn't...

ZF.

Cmon fellas let's go.

Hey guys I've progressed from having a system that I didn't have the stones to implement to being able to pull the trigger. My new problem is as follows: I have a system that I can expect that if I follow, to pull in 12-14 ticks a day but since I just started I'm trying to be smart about it...

I have a system that will usually be good for 5-10 ticks but sometimes it'll hit a wall at 3 and go back. What if I were to trade a 2 lot...sell one when I make 2 ticks and then let the other ride for 2-3 more ticks?

No one knows???

I am sure this has been talked about before but what exactly defines those 3? Day is obvious enough. Position is like 1-2 trades a day? and swing is...? My main question is that I have read that "the big boys" don't day trade....that it is far more lucrative to position trade...
