The bad news? See P.T. Barnum.

Omg please put your trading money in an envelope and send it to charity where it can have a decent home.--Swimr

OK it's lunchtime in New York. Everyone open your computers and start.trading! Size! So the dingdong whose trapped in his loser doesn't have to puke it out after staring at the screen for two and a half hours then reenter after he's used up all his mental energy for the day probably trying to...

OK give us an example please. Thanks.--Swimr.

I used to get chastised by my mentor if I used the pronoun I too much and or gave opinion. His whole life's work focused on the world. Change. Anomaly Not someone's opinion. If you look not so carefully you'll see opinions everywhere. If you ever went to school you were taught to pay attention...

That 1530 seems late. I used to try to catch last call at 315 or so--that last push in the direction of the daily Or afternoon trend. I'd try to be out by 330 as if I made a mistake after 330 there was no time to work it out. Haven't traded equities in awhile so trade may have changed. I was...

A couple of books I read. Wait tried to read. Options:_Perceptions and Deceptions. Can't remember author except his first name Charles. Other is Dynamic Hedging by Taleb. After trying to wrap my head around both I decided I didn't want to trade options anymore. Except for the occasional...

Reminds me of something similar that Soros said to Neiderhofer about needing to work too hard in the markets. Soros told him trading was much simpler and more elegant. I believe it's in Neiderhofer's book before he blew out

I can relate. I once asked my mentor his opinion about the idea that one should keep the same mindset and emotions whether in a trade or not. He simply said that it's impossible. . .Wait--that wasn't in the brochure when I signed up. Oh well I guess I'll just have to live with uncomfortable...
