Many traders believe in their hearts that they are not gamblers, but I do think that you have to a gamble to some degree to trade succesfully; after all, you could lose some money. Otherwise , you could have just getting a regular job, and save your money in the bank instead of taking risks.

I think trading and gambling are very much similiar in terms of entering and exit a trade If you gamble you shouldn't be afraid to lose your money and should always remain in control. Trade with confidence = winning. I've seen many experienced traders in ET who are afraid to trade...

Get a book guys, couple days of training at BT won't do you much good no matter how good is the instructor. It takes an artist years of schools and training to be good, so is trading.

Just try to be the best you can, what really matters is how you meet your monthly expenses, I would have taken a job if they pay me better. Meanwhile works are up to your neck, cursing at the boss for pushing you to retirement early. It's your call but I think you made the right decision, in...

Interesting journal but I think the US is in debt right now because of big government and over spending, along with the trade deficit ever increasingly widened. Who ever is the next president will be in deep, the US economy will be in for a recession. We'll wait and see how things evolve from...

Time to reinstall your computer.

...I'm a big fan of using different strategies with each designed for a different market environment instead of trying to tweak (change) one method for application in a different market. I like your observation Mark, you are right on.

Have you ever considered what are you going to do when the big recession comes. I don't think we can survive a 3 to 6 years drought just trading alone, a nice ljob would probably be a good idea. I wondered if anyone ever experienced this.
