    The best traders in ET

    Bowin, why would someone bring Rabid Atheism to a trading Forum? Why can't they leave their inner Sam Harris, or Dr. Richard Dawkins aside? The late Hitchen's was a fun to debate with according to some guys he debated, they could get together for a few drinks after those paid shows. Why is...

    How do we fight Greed?

    NoDoji, How do you avoid "over-trading", will you shut down the "High-Low" tickers and Scanners and other news while you focus on your main stock or pair of stocks? How do you avoid being drawn into these "Bug Zapper" stocks like GMCR, SODA or shorting TSLA like many people do...

    When People Ask "What do you do for a living" What say you?

    Thank you, you helped me patch that hole in my brain. I can't be like "Quant-Girl" any longer, she with her highly educated mind deserves something when she helps educate the people, why give your time away? I use to give and help and now I am at burn-out, perhaps the Traders on...

    When People Ask "What do you do for a living" What say you?

    Some great responses, I love this! I am not trying to be harsh, often it's the people without money who become the most curious and want advice. I use to give advice until they did the opposite of my opinions. I like the "Internet Porn" and "Paid and Get Laid" and "Algo Black Box...

    When People Ask "What do you do for a living" What say you?

    I stopped trying to explain what I do for a living long before the Day Trading Wives of the 1990s existed, it lead to far many controversial discussions and too much prying into our business. I use the generic "I am a consultant", when asked beyond that, I get afraid of all the new...

    How do we fight Greed?

    Thank you, that is the counsel I needed, it was the proper fear I felt at the correct time "the fight or flee we need to keep ourselves alive, the primal fear that senses something is wrong! I was using a laptop almost falling asleep on the couch, when the stock was grinding...

    Psychology Book for Traders

    Appreciate the help, it reads well after checking out few pages. Who is going to publish the book? I like good meaty books with great info and low self-glorification. Victor Neidhoffer's two books are interesting, the first book "The Education Of A Speculator" was full of himself, his second...

    How do we fight Greed?

    My emotions are usually devoid of emotion unless I make a really stupid trade. I went against my better judgement and played USU even though you could see it was under a Short Attack. I took my loss $890 bucks, not bad and had STXS on the LL2, been watching it since it went to $6.90 two days...
