    Very good chart. I should have checked it on daily. After the fact. There was a double top at 30.68 twice.

    I also started thinking of letting price come to me on retest of broken level. I can set limit order there or even enter at market price but still at that level. I am talking break out trades here.

    newbie looking for virtual mentor/ mentors

    Thank you Ammo. However, you need to understand that I trade for Title prop office and it is the company that sets risk limits for us. I have to follow and I actually get absolutely paranoid when seeing even 4-5 ticks in red. Obviously once I am at much higher level I will be able to have bigger...

    I also wonder, did Szeven or Lescor have any mentors? I really doubt this although it would be great to hear from these 2 legends.

    Our office is new. We have no experienced profitable traders for now and 2 profitable traders are coming over from Swift in April. So, no mentoring for us and we even cannot watch good trader trading which is also helpful. So, we all try to learn all by ourselves. I have made a plan for...

    Got into trading after college, 1 year retail, 1 month prop so far...I have issues..

    I see the point. They wanted you to trade their strategy and only stocks they wanted you to trade. Sounds kinda odd. Are there many other prop firms in NY? I am sure not every firm has such restrictive rules. Actually, neither Swift Trade nor Title trading force traders to trade this way.

    Generally, I do not get it why you left as you was making money and was good. But with your initial positiove record I think you will have no problem to move to another office.

    That's strange. Forced to trade C. What about that black box system? was it at least with good edge? by hand trade you mean manual trading? It looks like a different kind of prop firm. No one forces us to trade particular stock. Actually, as our office is a new one, we have no system. Each...

    How much can you bench?

    I can do 215 lbs 5-8 times. I am 41 years old and 170-175 Lbs weight., But I work mostly with my own weight + additional weights on my belt. I do another stuff like pull ups with 45 lbs on the belt. I can do 5 sets X 8 times each. Plus, I do push ups while hanging on those 2 sticks with 125 lbs...
