    Pictures of your trading stations

    I was just kidding. Its a good looking room, I like the floor. I got a rug in mine and it needs to go. At least with a floor I can see the dirt and will sweep it. With the rug the only time I know its dirty is when I drop food, pick it up, and see all the dirt stuck to it. It sucks since...

    Pictures of your trading stations

    Spend a few dollars on velcro strips to clean up the wires please. (sorry, one of my pet peeves) You don't mind having your wireless router sitting directly in front of your crotch? Trying to save money on a vasectomy/sterilization?

    Psychological Journal

    Keep looking, because if you hate to trade, this is not what you are looking for. Fate? Thats an excuse people use when they are not sure of their situation. Trading should not be an emotional roller coaster either. If it is for you, thats more proof that trading is not what you are...

    What book should I read to really learn currency trading??

    I think people give away many secrets in those $30 books. And they can do it safely too. Because most people will never try something enough times to really learn it. Those people will be discouraged after a few losing attempts and big losses and say "it does not work". You are absolutely...

    Psychological Journal

    Comparing yourself to others for your self-worth is a mistake in my book. Because no matter how well you do, there will always be someone doing better. But thats just my opinion and I could be wrong.

    Psychological Journal

    If what you describe as "random" has an order to it, wouldn't that make it non-random? Isn't the first unbreakable law of successful trading "Have a proven edge"??? If you don't have an edge, what is it you are trying to accomplish? Zen mindset? That can be accomplished without losing...

    Psychological Journal

    Stress is a good thing. It messes up a lot of people because they instantly equate stress is bad. Thats not always the case. If you accept it and focus on it, it can help you. Usually when I feel stress it makes me think about what I need to be focusing on. Ask yourself "what is the...

    He's not really a rich, intelligent Doctor from the Hamptons? I guess the errors in some of his posts should have tipped me off. But i just assumed he was drinking too much while typing.

    how much to lose

    There is no such thing as a set dollar amount to lose before becoming profitable. In theory, if you prepare yourself, you could be profitable from day one. If you set a dollar amount in your head of an acceptable number to lose, you will probably lose way more, because as long as you have...

    Taking $5K to $250K by year end

    If a seasoned trader is euphoric because he doubled his money and finds it impossible to manage the euphoria, then in my mind he is not a seasoned trader and has issues he still needs to work out. A win or a loss should not have any emotional effect on a great trader. They just accept it as...

    Turning full-time...

    Don't quit your day job. You are not ready to trade full time yet. You may never be ready. I am sure you already realize that you cannot even think about trading full time until you get your trading under control. Why are you over trading on margin? In a hurry? Why are you not...

    Is my broker trustworthy? (FXCM)

    I am as positive as I can be without them actually telling me they spiked it to hit my stop. The first time or two I just thought it was a fluke that a steady sideways trend had one hard spike exactly to my stop. Then it happened a third time and I thought "they are purposely hitting my...

    Is my broker trustworthy? (FXCM)

    I have seen this with oanda. It happens most of the time when I would use a stop. I stopped trading with them because they would purposely spike it up or down just to hit my stops. If I trade without stops, no spikes and I was making a profit.

    Do you feel guilty shorting.

    The only I time I feel guilty shorting is when I don't cover quick enough and the stock starts to rally.
