Enjoying what you are doing and being dedicated to the task are most definitely NOT mutually exclusive. Whilst I can't imagine anyone finding the process of losing money to be "fun", it a necessary part of the game and must not be weighted disproportionately (stressing over one aspect).

Yep. I totally agree. Nothing in this world is inherently stressful, only the mind can make it so. Your post is a refreshing reminder that I truly enjoy what I do - something that's easy to forget after a, er, "trying" day like today (for me). I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the...

Get off your high horse Darkhorse, you have no monopoly on the truth! What you call the "truth" is an ubstantiated claim that you derived from other men. Unless you or your contemporaries can prove that at some point there existed direct communication with god, simply state: "right or...

The same percent risk on the stocks price.

Go F thyself you POS! My time could, perhaps, be better spent, but since I'm sitting at my computer unable to trade, I thought I would engage in some half-way intelligent discussion on a topic to my liking. This makes me retarded?

If you think science has anything definitive to say about God, you don't understand the limits of science. Science describes a closed system; anything beyond the boundaries of that system is beyond the boundaries of science also. You'd better update your knowledge base Darkhorse. The...

You miss my point. Given traders of equal skill trading stocks of equal volume and percent volatility, risking the same dollar amount, the person trading the higher priced stock will enjoy the greater dollar profit.

I don't seek INCONTROVERTIBLE evidence (although that would be nice, and most certainly IS possible to give), I am merely asking for strong evidence. Support your claims. I called your babblings of the past 30 pages "hot air" because no such "strong evidence" is forthcoming. None of your...

lundy on ignore! Come man! You deny yourself a fertile source of entertainment!

You are completely correct. My attempt to push his buttons and infuriate him most certainly backfired. Twas only to be but a joke, nevertheless, it is a nasty habit which I must endeavour to exorcise. Sorry!

Darkhorse, by your reasoning I could make a thousand irrational assertions and not have to provide evidence for a single one of them. If pressed, I can simply say, "prove me wrong, go on! ha! you can't can you! Therefore you have to at least except that I might be right. Conventions of...

Given my recent "discussions" (to give you more credit than you deserve) with you, you, yourself certainly qualify for first and third.

Darkhorse, you are quickly going from one of my favorites to the functional equivalent of a blithering idiot! 1) Since when did the world agree that the participants in the last half of this thread were to be final arbiters as to whether or not there can be ever be incontrovertible evidence...

More hot air Darkhorse? I am embarassing myself! hahahahaha. You truly are a piece of work! Of course there is no empirical method to test for God's existance - we don't even have a definition of what it is we would be testing FOR! Atheism is NOT "just another belief system" it is the...

Oh, but i most certainly DO have a genuine interest! I was hoping for a real answer, not another typically evasive response. I did read the thread. You have about 30 pages of posts full of nothing but hot air! I am yearning to hear the crux of what your multi-year search for answers yielded...

Bottom line is, is what you are doing making you money? My answer (for me) is YES. Who cares that I don't carry winners overnight. My average win size to average loss size has grown over the past couple of months to greater than two to one, whilst maintainig greater than 50% accuracy...

apologies... My comment was directed to the NEWBIE swingtrader. (and i offered my commentary as reasoning as to why a newbie swinger is at risk...)

You said the magic words man! volume and volatility. I would add a little more to it and say, "dollar volatility" - as opposed to just percent volatility. But that requires higher priced equities, which we seem a long way off these days. (explanation: i'd prefer $5 range on $60 stock...

FIRE HIM ASAP!

Daytrading isn't nearly as hectic as you make it out to be Candleman! Sure, a total newbie may be bewildered by the speed with which prices change, but then such a newbie has no place making live trades at all! Not until he accustomed to the pace of the market should he be trading. Whatsmore...
