me1969, "Trading resembles hunting or fishing: You must be patient but always alert." I liked this. It's like if a hunter has so many bullets; he can spray the forest hoping he catches a deer. Or wait for the deer to pop his head out and slowly get into a good position; and then BAM...

Kiwi, In regards to your statement "You also mistake reducing emotional response for denying emotions. Or supressing them." Maybe I was/am confused. I see alot of posts and people talk about how its important to not feel fear/greed and to ignore them etc ... or to block them out. This led...

Vhehn, thanks for the link to the article; that guy had alot of good insite. btw have you read any of his books? wondering which one would be the best to get in regards to this subject ie hedge fund master, trading to win, trading in the zone or the psychology of risk

I've been doing alot of 'thinking' on emotions and trading (and observing what other's feel (their posts etc ...). There seems to be two different mind sets when it comes to your emotions and trading. 1.- One of them is to develope emotionless trading; from what I can see is that some of...

Tons of ways to pick stocks ... You seem to want to pick them using a certain criteria. Using a stock screener (not sure if there are free ones out there or what).

I had trouble with that too in the past ... I'm going to 'paper' trade alot here before I start playing the market again. Define my rules more; play the game rather then gambling

Why did you change your name porgie? there can only be One porgie ... now porgie is no more ... did you short him? did he expire worthless? did he sell a naked put and the stock tanked? did he hold a future through expiration and take possession of 5,000 lbs of porkbellies? (and try to...

hmmm (I'll trade you lives :) j/k I'd be thankful you can make as much as you do at trading; alot better then working the grind. I'd either try to change your trading style so you can have a outside life; and if you can do that then perhaps you can start using your time for things like...

hmmm well I assume you mean you want to use daily charts alot? I think 60 min charts help alot when you want to analyze entry on a daily time-frame. Alot of times you can pick something up on the 60 min that you dont see on the daily. I dont remember how much the tc2007 is for intra day...

HaHa I dont think I ever seen a chart like that; talk about curve

Wow 900 million ... geez ... I remember when hotmail sold to MSFT for 400 million (and it was started by some college kids err I think). I saw something posted about how 90% of utubes content is copyrighted. I think it's pretty dangerous to spend 900 million or 1.6 bil on a company like...

I actually have a free hotmail account but for some reason I figured - "These software companies are professionals they wont spam me or anything like that ..." Guess I learned my lesson.

It appears that one of the software venders that I recently tried a trial with uses your email to send you spam. And I'm not refering to the typical company 'spam' type of emails this is just spam. My email was generally free from spam (although I would get the occasional ebay/paypal...

piezoe, thanks for the explanation; that makes sense

My 2 cents here ... One of the best threads I have read here on ET. Lot's of good info. While I realize some of the info might be a real 'ball buster' to Cash's ego; probably better to learn it here then with your money. I have alot of the same issues that many of these posts talked...

TraderToney; let us know what the outcome with IB is ... That does sound like a very strange practice they have going there (and makes me concerned in regards to trading fx with IB).

ya I have trouble on pullbacks ... but now that I think about it I think I have more trouble with false breakouts then pullbacks ...

I'd enjoy trading more ... not think about the money ... just enjoy what I was doing ... I'd paper trade alot more - have contests between different systems

ya ... what do you use for your trailing stop?

Well good luck ... Probably the right time to do it (now since you dont have a wife kids etc ...) although I would probably leave yourself a stop point with your money (incase you dont make it) so you can still pay your rent etc till you get a new job etc ...) let us know how you do...
