    A few health tips for traders...

    A good rule of thumb for how much water you should consume a day is divide your weight in half and that's how many ounces you should be drinking. If you exercise you should add another 8 oz of water for every 20 min as well.

    What are things you can do to prepare yourself to trade after waking up?

    Sounds like you need to get up earlier. I like to stretch, do some cardio, shower, eat something small like fruit, and enjoy a french press all before 6:30. I get up about 5am and sit down at the computer by 6. I need 30 mins of prep time while enjoying the coffee before open.

    Well played today, after looking over your trades we almost had identical entries but I never bit any shorts today. Still finished up 16.75 per car though. I would also agree that this is headed to 90ish if 1100 can't hold for another rally. Who knows though, I hate trying to predict; just trade...

    How did you get your trading capital?

    Try to get a well paying job, live below your means and save. I have my Pipe fitters ticket which allowed me to work out of town on Industrial jobs and save a ton since all you do is work. I could work 6 months, take home 80k, and have the rest of the year off to trade. The quality of life is...

    Fear of quitting day job...

    Why not just say you are going on vacation for a month, trade a solid a month full time. If it goes well like you say it should, then quitting should be a lot easier after. If you do horribly, go fake and bake and say you loved Thailand when you return to your job.

    That has to be the scariest plan I have ever read... You forgot the 3rd and most important scenario, if those fund managers don't exit and push higher. First off if you added at 76.75 you would be averaged in at 74.25, not 74.75. And you say that 1173.75 is a 1 point target, but price...
