Nice to see that someone has an open mind and not really care about what others think. As you can trade either long or short, why not give you the option to pick same. You must pick the trade as it is you that is trading! Pick a Long Trade from this list...

I have a novel idea! How is anyone going to believe that trading is easy? Maybe the best way is to see some trading and see the results? If someone picks any stock (not a cheap penny stock now!) we will see if anyone can demonstrate how easy trading really is. Seeing is believing...

No, but my wife has some expensive gold jewelery with funny markings on same.

Firstly, it is wise to look at all others, yours truly included, as nothing more than a seer and doer. The fact that a trader can sit in front of a PC and execute a trade, manage it as the underlying price moves and exit the trade at a profit, does in no way make the person special or...

The character of a man is easily seen by what he writes, even though he may not know it. To think that one can be smarter than another is the sign of an ignoramus. Matter it not what others do, say or have, but matter it most what one does for oneself. Personally, I tend to not give...

Of late I have been trading on and off, for personal reasons. I have done a bit of mini Dow trading, not on the YM as I consider the risk too large for on and off trading activities. What I have found, is that one of the above seems to be always missing - and even though I have made some...

BPtrader has a very good thread going on trading in relation to how hard it is to learn and become profitable. This thread is not to refute what BPtrader has said, but to challenge it, as anything of value must be challenged to verify its effectiveness. With that, I say that trading can be...

Many people think that luck has a lot to do with things, and I myself have mentioned that I have been lucky at times, it is common practice, but the reality is that everything happens for a reason. One might be lucky and win the lotto, but unless one has bought the ticket first there was no...

Very true indeed. In trading lingo it might go something like this. Start out with an objective to learn, not make money. Trade small size until you can make money consistently, however long it takes. Ignore all the hype about futures and options and trade stocks initially, as they...

Of course we all do the wrong things over and over, as we are human and our emotions play a big part of how we think and thus act. Most people have heard about the so called secret and how it can change you for the best. Most people, including myself up to not too long ago, fail to see...

If you answered the question then I apologize. If you did not answer the question directly using the quote feature then that is what you should do to stop confusion as some traders do not read all the posts as they don't have the time. From my experience options are best traded as follows...

One would imagine that with all the money they put into education the herd would at least grasp the basics of truth. But then again, education today is not based on teaching about truths, it is based on the whims and ideas of previous generations who lost all sight of truth and honesty...

They were not the first and will not be the last as all one needs to do is look back at what has happened to mighty ones. Some say it was the lead, others say it was the head? Do you know why the city really fell? That picture looks a bit strange and might mean a lot more than it...

"Know Thyself" He who looks for answers without will continue to look and never find them. He who looks for answers within will find exactly what it is he is looking for. It has been mentioned that a mentor can cut short the route to trading success. A mentor can also inhibit a...

Funny you should say that as I saw a chart in another thread today that looked like it had some sort of symbol that might make it look like a gay chart as well? It was man made of course.

Not at all. What a person decides to do with their own body is entirely up to themselves, but what they decide to do to other peoples bodies is an entirely different matter. I will continue as I think it is relevant, but will stop if requested as it might offend some people? If man was...

This is by far the best question asked on this site that I have seen so far and having held over 250 ES long call options I can relate to what is being asked. I have also held other short index options when the market has gone against me (up to 68 short put contracts in one instrument) and I...

One of the first real and hard lessons about trading is that you must learn to change your mind very quickly. The first picture served its purpose in that you can have two pictures of the same thing showing you different features. However, we all know which picture is worth the most money...

Clarity of mind is required in order to trade effectively, but I believe it is not the most basic requirement that an ordinary Joe Soap trader needs in order to make better trading choices. Let us try and see why? The trader learns what is needed in relation to relaxation and clearing the...

The last post was a bit harsh but required never the less. Maybe I can help in allowing the OP to put the matter straight with a very simple question. What do you consider the most basic requirement for an ordinary Joe Soap trader to have in order to make better trading choices? I will...
