Added more shorts, we are at 2676 right now.

Started adding some shorts we are at the upper TL, that wedge should definately break out next week but before that we should revisit 2620 again.

3 points off again :)

I have seen people have 100% profitable trades for years and still make less than some who had 10% win rate. Win rate is absolutely useless no matter if you got 99% winners or losers. What matters is the average size of winners and losers in combination with win %.

Im thinking, fall off a cliff, then a slow sideways market for a couple of months.

Exited some shorts from 2680 at 2655, we will probably see some retracements overnight.

everybody gets what they want

Go short instead

Indeed, I've found it to be a great boon to myself. Sometimes when you cannot explain something so another person can understand you realize that you yourself may not fully understand it. Trading is a very self-centred profession, it's good to have another person around to ground yourself a bit...

Yes, english isn't my first language :)

I think it’s very important to cleanse a trading trainee first of all. Teach them of biases and how their own psyche will get in the way of trading. The actual trading techniques are easy, especially if you as the teacher has already tested the strategy extensively. Makes me think of a remark...

I get that feeling sometimes when I try to tell her what and why I am doing some things. It feels as naturally as breathing to me but every explanation from me brings another 100 questions. Luckily I enjoy teaching.

Sometimes I wonder if trading is as easy as it should be naturally. And all the studying and pushing just makes it more complicated. Experience is needed to relax and get comfortable. In the future I want to teach my girlfriend to trade, that should bring some interesting insights.

You have to learn to let go of the obsession, once you do, trading becomes easy and carefree as it should. Less is more.

I think you’ll have a greater chance of finding true love once you let go of binary characteristics and start seeing the person behind it. When you like a flower you pick it, if you love it you water it everyday. Loving someone is setting their own needs before yours and having a person you...

The key is balance, finding success in other things also seem to contribute to your other endeavors in life, while keeping harmful over attention at bay.

I try my best not to know anything about women and relationships :)
