Correct me if I am wrong, but was is not forced carrying of identification that greatly facilitated the nazi's ability to single out jews during the holocaust?

Ah, I'm living in the U.K. I didn't realise it was the law in U.S as well. I suppose when I.D cards are impossed on us british we will subject to the same law.

I enjoyed a nice christmas break in Spain, visiting friends, however on my last night there, my friends and I were stopped by the police (routine they said). One of my friends was not carrying an ID card and I was not carrying my passport. We were then promptly searched and interrogated about...

My guess would be that 95% of crack addicts fail to quit and go on to live a healthy lifestyle. I would also hazard a guess that 95% of obese people fail to stick to a diet and exercise regime for the rest of their lifes. Being patient and disciplined in the markets (especially when you...

"Positions established must be reduced and removed until or unless the market proves the position correct" - Phantom of the Pits. If you are struggling with stop placement this is a rule to live by. Don't wait for the market to prove your position wrong! If the position isn't correct get...

Looks familiar, hmmmm wonder where I have seen this before. Oh yeah, it's the constitution.

You don't need to predict to make money trading. All you need to do is cut your losers, let your winners run (even better add to them as well as letting them run).

You already know your problem, as you say you are not letting winners run. Your problem is psychological. This might be due to exit strategy anxiety, however, the truth is there is no magic formula. As gordon gekko said "greed is good" ... don't settle for 20 pips, let the thing run!

That was too funny! Good job.

Do you want to know the easiest way to let your profits run? Stop closing them out too early.

Spot on, the ones calling the shots (not the puppets in government) would never let this happen. The conditions could be such that all logic screams for the EU to break up, but they ain't going to allow that.

If it hasn't already been said in this thread, the biggest reason why you will find it so hard to even break even is that your psychology/emotions will be sabotaging you at every opportunity. In other words they will get in the way of you cutting losers and letting winners run. The...

IMHO you should just dive in (demo for the time being until you have a plan then start small) and read as much as you can here. It's a personal journey of discovery and there are no shortcuts. If you really, really want it enough and you have what it takes in terms of mental strength you will...

I agree with the above posts that you should reduce your position size or stop trading money until you can resolve these issues. Have you considered that it might be that you don't have confidence in your strategy (system etc) and therefore your subconscious mind realising that you are...

Although a cliche, in the end, whether or not you will make it comes down to your ability to cut loses short and let your winners run. Doing this religiously is psychologically difficult as it goes against your normal intuition. Good luck.

How long have you been trading? If you give something more specific you might get some constructive help. Are you saying that you have a plan but can't stick to it?

I can assure you, Bill Gates is a world away from being the richest person in the world.

I think this has already been inferred, but you have the wrong perception of how to trade the market and until you have the right perception you will continue to lose. The only way to make money as a trader is to "not lose money"! Now, think about that.
