I know that feel. The adrenaline rush from trading really screws my sleep cycle up. I can't trade within 2 hours of sleeping, forget it. Probably points to an error of mine (having adrenaline at all in the trade), but outside of taking drugs I don't know how to prevent it. I don't like the...

Which I suppose is why I'm drawn to it. It's not about the value on a long term basis (which I expect is on average 50-80% less than it currently is). But for short term trades who cares?

Swing trading would fit better into my work life. I've been predominately drawn to futures due to their extended hours and high liquidity. I will look into swing trading quality stocks as you suggest, thank you.

I fear my biggest issue is not respecting the herd. The market makes absolutely no sense to me right now on a value basis. And so I'm missing out on all the hoopla because I don't believe in it. Irrationality is my kryptonite and I'm just going to have to learn to hold my nose I suppose...

So if price is manipulated (and I believe it), are the closes even that useful? Would an average bar behavior negating the close make more sense to follow? Hmm... will have to test.

Hi, long time lurker, finally got an account because... I have questions that I can't seem to find an answer to. I've read A LOT on trading, and studied A LOT of charts -- and no matter what, I can't seem to find an edge. This irks me for a few reasons. 1. I read and hear of a lot of people...
