    Limiting One's Self

    I believe you're right. From the blow up standpoint though I dont' believe is valid. I never risk more than $100 - $140 per trade. Yes I know that doesn't leave me much wiggle room for noise but that's how I have to trade with such a small account and the way I like to trade actually.

    Limiting One's Self

    Here I am again.. not complaining but hoping typing this out and getting some feedback will help me improve. I limit myself from Profits on a Daily basis. What do I mean? I daytrade 1 contract and have it engrained in me somehow that once I reach over $100/day I have reached my "goal" per...

    movies on trading

    I would love to see a reality type show based on trading. Maybe similar to the Biggest Loser.. something along those lines. Where traders trying to make are filmed for all to see and they track their progress, gains, etc..

    These Biases I have are Killing me

    This is a good point and to be honest I don't think I have valid reasons Why.. other than the fact that I am ALWAYS looking for market to reverse. No matter when/where.. but I have no fundamental or technical reason why over 90% of the time. I believe its like someone suggested in earlier...

    These Biases I have are Killing me

    Everyday I come in and expect the market to turn. This morning we're clearly in an uptrend and I keep thinking okay.. we're going to be turning and heading down soon instead of trading what's in front of me. I'm working on a way to isolate these opinions but it's been tough. I've become...

    Do you trade from a day-job that is unrelated to trading?

    Luckily I have 2 computers at work with only 1 monitor and have a KV switch to toggle between the 2. so when someone walks up I just switch over to other computer. Sometimes they catch me off guard though. I've learned to enhance my other senses. i can feel or hear people walking more than...

    Trading Hammers (revisited)

    Hey Mark, How have you been. it's been a while Just wanted to thank you again for this thread. My vote for the best thread on ET. It shows and tells traders that there's more to candles than just the bodies themselves. The books I've read on candles only cover candle bodies and of...

    Hedge Fund/Trader Documentaries

    If I remember correctly all the episodes are on youtube but you had to add something to the search title to get the other episodes you can't find. you had to add something like "Profit and Loss" or something to the end of it to get it.. don't know why.. so your search would look like this...

    I Just Realized Something Else

    About myself. Everytime I look at a chart I'm looking for a reversal point to profit from. This is probably a big part of why I've struggled for so long. Of course it's not the answer to all my trading problems but I do feel it's made my trading life more difficult. I seem to have to...

    AMAZING how much Co-workers want to BULLS**T

    It's a corp. office. It drives me insane cause sometimes you can see someone round the corner and you know they're coming to bullshit. And they can't take a hint either. You don't look at them, you just keep looking at your computer and nod your head occasionaly and they just still keep on...
