I also read stock operator with Livermore. Guy knew what he was doing. I notice he made a few written rules of his own though. Also, didn't he kill himself after a BIG RISK BIG REWARD that wiped him out? Try BIG RISK=done/dead. CALCULATED RISK=I can trade again tomorrow. Maybe when I get...

I tried putting the smiley face. Didn't mean to disrespect. I read an amazing highly technical book from hedge fund manager. Andrew Clenow I think. I'm reading al brooks bar by bar. But I learn most with screen time. Learned more with screen then al brooks taught. He's got great stuff. His...

Who are these PROVEN successful traders? Is BigHog or StealthTrader a proven successful trader? They say they trade every day, day in and day out. They say that they plan their trade, and trade their plan. Everything you are telling me seems so contradictory. I've seen newbies, aged, young...

Quick question. I'm sure you guys have notice that S/R levels change. What once was a nice horizontal Support, later became a horizontal Resistance. In an Uptrend the trendline is Support. Normally, once buyers begin covering, and Sellers are now putting a lot of supply on the market and drives...

Learning anything from them?

I understand if you must go, but thanks for the input. I've been reading a lot on understanding the markets. Unfortunately, succeeding here--which is rare--means devoting years, if not decades to this study. I'm feeling like I want to commit to that, but I am new. :D We'll see in a few months right?

Really? I've read a lot on here in ET--I mean this is ET. But I've read some very nice journals by Anekdoten, NoDoji, and I enjoy the back and fourth between StealthTrader and mailbride? I forget. Also BigHog has made some nice contributions as well. Many promote finding a set up or two...

Hey DB. Thanks for the reply. People really are here! First off, I guess I contradicted myself when I said "I've got a written plan", and then detailed how that's not so. Woops. Sorry about that. What I should say is that I have chosen 1 set up that I intend to master. Part of my plan that...

Alright time for an update. I've been studying my arse off. I've got a written plan. I'm trying to determine if i should use a fixed stop and target. I understanding that my stop should probably be placed, if long, below previous support in hopes that the support will keep price up for a little...

No don't learn from me. My SIM account could tell you that. But it can't speak. It's in pain. Maybe instead of catching the move early, catch a big chunk out of middle?

some big dawg called a top. or it was high enough to sell already. No you're not nuts, hopefully...:). I was talking about the drop to hell in NQ. lol I was long too, but I was waiting for the panic down. Got some nice shorts. Took forever for a good fill though. I'm still learning how to...

this is nuts

HOW MUCH HIGHER CAN IT GO? Don't call tops.

Good report. Watch out for congestion today though. Could stay in nice but playable range.

I hear ya. So what's your approach? Do you focus on quick intraday scalps?

I'm no pro. Grain of Salt blah blah. Lose small, move on. You aren't going to be right 100%. Make your winners count. Today was hard. I struggled. When I'm wrong I try my hardest to take the loss and move on, and remind myself that the market doesn't give a damn about me. Ergo, I don't give a...

woops
