    trade mornings only?

    For me, trading is a business I enjoy doing. I can’t imagine myself leaving the field of opportunities in the middle of the day and walking out it. If I have a bad day I reduce my risk and become more selective with the setups. It is amazing how many times you can turn a bad day...

    Contracts

    This is maybe a little bit off base, but… Is it possible that there is something like ‘implied contract’. As soon as you start showing up for work on a regular basis – you are agreeing to that contract (which is displayed to all the employees in the dark cupboard in the basement)...

    User Names On Elitetrader (a fun thread)

    A girl at uni gave me this nickname (I gave her something else in return :) ). Never knew if there was any link between Mickey Mouse (and she could not spell) and my performance in bed.

    Even lots (100's) or not?

    IndexTrader said: “Since IB doesn't allow odd lot purchases, I will usually buy 100 shares, turn around and sell the portion I'm not supposed to have in my "basket" of stock.” No need for that IndexTrader – IB will allow you buy 1 stock share. I know because I’ve done it by...

    Even lots (100's) or not?

    I can only speak for myself, but I think that most traders dislike odd lots – placing an order for 100 shares and getting filled on 9 can be very, very annoying. But, if you are a newbie it wouldn’t do you much harm if you mess up 20 shares – it certainly might if you mess up 200...

    Far be it for me to suggest the way for you should make money in this world, but… Have you ever considered writing a book about your experience as a trader – good, bad or the ugly – doesn’t matter!? What matters is that a failure in one area of life doesn’t mean that you can’t...

    Motivation for Trading

    I consider myself very lucky to do the work I like doing. This applies to my full time job and part-time trading. A Magna pointed out when the full time job ends the trading doesn’t have to. The satisfaction I get from trading is immeasurable – beats any other activity I can think of...

    Riding your winners and number of positions

    I exit the very moment I see or feel a pause in price movement. The length of pause I allow for depends on the amount of profit I risk losing. As my eyes become larger – the length of my exit pause becomes shorter. :p
