    On my daily blotter, I always asked Mr.T how I did the day before as compared to my group and the firm and you know what? From a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best. I scored a 1 when compared to my group and 2 when compared to the firm !!! How embarrassing??? :p. He said I missed 2 big...

    **I have said many times that "systems trading approach" does not equal "100% mechanical". My system generates a signal and *I* have to execute on it. This is part of the discipline. I also have to apply MM techniques and be aware of the risk factors associated with every signal. ** This is...

    Think about what all these have gotten us? 1. We are more aware the difference between discretionary and systematic approach. I still don't think that machine is going to beat the humans that create them, but then again this is my opinion. 2. We have learned that a lot of us are VERY...

    Well, what a good debate, and here's my 2cents. Dottom, I don't think a good trader can rely on one and only one system to be successful. If you think that you can devise a system that can be fully automated to trade, then you are totally wrong. All you new traders out there have to...

    Hitman, That's very light considering your size limit to be 3000 shares, but as you put it yourself, it is better to make $500 everyday and be consistent than to have big up and down days. Thanks for the warning, this is my second best day ever, and I know how I can carried away (MOC...

    This might be a surprise to all, but I traded 9200 shares today! I usually traded much more, but my not having a big loser today saved me a lot of churning and that cut down on my size and gave me a cleaner day. Hitman, Maybe you could set a minimum bar for your winners, for example don't...

    Mr.T was right, how did he know? 64 thousand question. I don't care anyways. This was perhaps the easiest trading days in a while, the market opened up a little, and right away I noticed strength in airlines, with Russia unwillingness to cut production by 1.5 million barrels per day is...

    1. Read the tape too damm much. Have to trust the sector, the futures and my own pick. DO NOT GET SUCK IN WITH ALL THE SPEC.'S TRICKS. 2. Too eager to place a trade when it is clear that the market was dead. While it is good to place trade when the sector is moving one way or another, it is...

    Dotcom, Magna, Over dramatization huh? :p Well maybe a little bit, didn't mean to scare you guys. It was just the feeling of losing control that was so disgusting. It was like a gambler who had lost $200, and went in and place bigger and bigger bets and lose more and more money! That is...
