There are many things to consider, the biggest risk that you are taking is your opportunity cost and mine was very high. I went to school, got a half decent degree and rejected a good job that had the potential to make big bucks so I can become a trader. Got a part time job and started trading...

I work as a buyer for a dehydrated food manufacturing company, we trade a lot of commodities and trade the us/can dollar as well. I have a trading desk set up here as I can trade at work and I trade the presidents personal money as well as a few other executives which works great for me.

Crete stays warm for most part of the year, your not far from Africa. This is where is spend my summers, I would pick up a small 20foot fishing boat and just live there later on.

Crete Greece, even some of the smaller island not Athens tho. Cheap, safe, great weather and food, I don't think I ever had any more fun anywhere else in the world

il bite Around 150k net I swing trade and day trade (Average holding time is (3-10hrs) Small cap equities only 5-12k I still work full time so the extra income is great especially for my age. I have been doing this profitably for the last 6 out of 7.5 years. I cannot post monthly...

I think I have done well in certain aspects, Scaling up, getting a bit of outside money, developing my own strategy which is very different to many others, but I can improve in automation, programing, and doing less "office work" so I can focus on trading more

Thanks, that's exactly what im doing. But finding other similar edges is easier said then done.

Yes change is not easy but its necessary for growth, I had to find a way to change when I first started because I wouldn't stop losing money. Me becoming a better trader was a fuelled by the NEED to change not the WANT.

Thanks Tom, I don't think its a lack of worth ethic here, I have been doing this for 5years and it has been working for 5 years, I just need to improve day in and day out and get better, find ways to be 5% more efficient, reduce user errors, reduce emotional errors, reduce typing errors and also...

Thanks, I am, that's what im doing, it can only work in the Australian exchange since it is so similar to the tsx venture exchange. I Wish I could automate this, but it doesn't seem feasible at the present time

That's very well said. I think its important to focus on process more than performance,

Thanks, that is exactly what im scared of.

I don't think trading more markets will help, focusing on one thing was the only reason for my limited success in trading. Rather be a master of one. Sadly it is very difficult to automate for me since there is a lot of discretionary work involved

How do you guys improve as traders and prevent complacency? Lately I’ve been getting better tools for my specific trading needs (Brokers, Charting, TMX power stream) Using something like trade metria to journal trading statistics and performance which helps me tremendously in figuring out what...

Im in Canada, its the same thing here im assuming?

Hey guys, I exclusively trade equities between $0.10-0.70 that are listed on the tsx and tsx-v. I have a decent sized account with a crappy big bank brokerage. Since most of these securities are very illiquid many of my orders might take a week to get filled or just sit on the bid for a very...

I think im between 20-30% only because im trading a large amount of mirco cap, No one here offers less then 3$ equity trades in Canada
