Time. There's an inherent amount of good/bad luck in any given trade. But over a long period of time, luck is not a factor.

I love trading in that environment. Can't wait for markets to return to uncertainty and fear for an extended period of time again. Soooooo ready.

You can trade retail-prop or full-prop. There are repuatable firms out there. A lot of the retail-in-disguise firms were shut down a few years ago although I'm sure many still exist. If you decide retail-prop or full-prop do your research. According to you, you've done "quite well", so it sounds...

Lemme guess...your girlfriend is imaginary too right? Lol. Keep trading demo and making up stupid stories buddy....it's what you're good at. It's really unhealthy to truly believe that you're actually making the money that you posted in those fake blotters and then to also have the audacity to...

another faker...same old excuses

Ksmetana, The quest to get bigger and the fear that accompanies that will always be there. I'm confronting it now daily. I know that the majority of the guys in my office become complacent after reaching a few thousand shares/trade and I don't want to be one of those guys. I had a long talk...

Reminds me of Jim Rogers. The farmers will be driving the Ferraris. Food crisis anyone? Wait...isn't that why the Tunisian revolution started?

I need to quit with the complexities myself. The more that I micromanage --- the less it helps.

It's complicated. After my first 6 months I became net positive and I quit my job. BUT about 4 days after quitting, I had a large losing week and luckily I had a little money saved to hold me over the month it took me to make back what I lost. Actually, I was down to my last few hundred bucks...

Kurt, Good luck to you. I remember the days when I first started and I had a customer service night job that I had to work everyday after getting my ass handed to me in the markets. It's the worst. But it's great motivation to learn what is necessary to win. It served as even greater...

Today's Results -$1175.59 The life of a trader. Before this week, Idk how many up days in a row I had had -- only to experience 5 straight down days. At least none of them were too bad. I can't remember the last time I actually had 5 negative days in a row though. I guess it is what it is...

I've heard a lot about this video, nice to finally see it.

It's a hard way to make an easy living.

Today's Results: -$363.49 A slow day for me. What a great week this has been. 4 straight down days...hmmm must mean that I'm due to be up tomorrow. The good thing is that one decent day should make up for all of these down days this week. Live ATS' did very well today on the bright side of...

Now that I'm feeling back to normal and I expect to be on time in the office today for the first time since last Tuesday (on time for me is about 1.5 hours before the market opens) I'm excited to trade. I'll be returning to trend trading actively if the market deems it worthy to do so. I'll be...

Who has time to post all their trades?

TA and using charts to trade are two different things. I use charts and I make money using them. There are plenty of traders much greater than I that rely on charts (not TA!) to make money. Also 3 famous traders that come to mind are Paul Tudor Jones, Dan Zanger and Eric Bolling all attribute...

this should be in another Forum....maybe Career Trader or Trading?? This isn't a journal if I understand correctly.
