:) The commonality I see is the risk I take. It is the only thing I have control over.

We could be nieghbors :) Did I mention that my mind is open at both ends. Not much is retained.:confused:

No Sir I’m afraid I didn’t. I had no idea where the stock would go on Monday. My thinking was that if it got to my entry it would continue to advance. My entry was not hit so I have no position. I am not losing money only opportunity to make money. This is hard to answer as I’m not...

I am surprised you use Roulette as an example for the market. Depending on whether the wheel has one or two zeros the house has the edge. If you play long enough the house odds will grind you down. Blackjack on the other hand is beatable by a skilled card counter. Poker is more like the...

Enjoying every word. Thank you

It will be a position trade if the buy stop is hit. at risk is 1% of my capital.

ANF : Entry 27.50 Stop 22.50 Have at'er boys.

I can say with some certainty that the market will go up or down more that 60% of the time. Closer to 99.9% of the time. The other option I beleive is to trade sideways all day, I predict will happen 0.1% of the time. You can copy this sytem by flipping a coin.

I admire your courage. Looking forward to reading your posts for a long time. Best Wishes: Boib

I guess I'd want to know how you determine whether my trading style and risk profile fit your overall plan. Do you want to see my trading plan or are you more concerned with my year over year performance? How do you determine a risk profile?

I trade the e-minis. rarely hold overnight. Overnight isn't that much of a problem as stops will be triggered. It scares me to hold stocks overnight cause you never know when they might gap against you.

Or it could be that opportunity of a lifetime that we are letting pass by. An opportunity presents itself and we run from it because we don’t believe anyone would do this. In both his books Mark Douglas gives the example of a guy standing on the street offering free money. Nobody...

I'll take you up on that if you make a bunch Hey Free advise is as valuable as Free mentoring. You never know what you'll get.

Easy: Tell them"I have a number of experienced traders apply and I only have room for 1" Auction off the spot to the highest bidder.:) Accept every ones bid and have them send money. :D Dissappear :(

If you don't think you know what you're doing then we're all in trouble. I read slowly through all your posts. You must write fast because I'm stll confused.:D

Sounds like the Madoff hook. Here is a wonderful opportunity but you’re going to have to wait. Why just one? It’s just as easy to train a bunch as just one. If the one you pick turns out to be a dud you have to start all over again. Training several would be a better use if your time...

Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Why would you have to stay in a stock overnight? With my trading program a simple click gets me out of a stock.

Can you be more specific. What exactly do you want the front end to do. I've tried TF QT and a couple of the Banks and IB is by far the best. The only drawback is no Registered accounts. IBs Canadian customer service seems to be way better than the US counterpart. I've rarely had to...

So give us the gory details: How do you go about blowing 20K? Maybe someone can learn from your misfortune. Doubtful because we have to learn for ourselves but you might save someone else some pain.
