I have a better deal for you. I will give you 40k when you can show me 10 years audited consistent returns. I have not lost for 5 years. I had a few good years that I did quit well but all edges evaporate sooner or later and just because someone is having a good year or two means NOTHING...

Actually YOUR the idiot and Standard Oil is correct. You guys are encouraging this guy to lose money and a huge amount of time/life. I've been struggling at this for 5 years OP and I've read all kinds of books and taken several seminars. If your willing to invest 5 years of your life...

Can someone please give me a brief description of how a market order is executed on an ECN. I'm particularly interested in Market On Open / Closed orders and how to avoid getting screwed. Thanks

^^^ This I have a friend that took Kaminski's course and although he is a nice guy, John Murphy's book Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets will teach you pretty much the same things and save you a bunch of dough.

Guys relax the video was a JOKE to help me deal with the stress of this decision. Thank you all for the kind words and good advise.

I made a video of myself trading yesterday and so you guys could give me some feedback on my emotional control. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrSS_6nK24w

ROFLMAO I hope you don't mind if i borrow this link on another et thread.

FB123, To summarize; Before trading visualize myself having a bad trade. Then visualize myself getting up out of my chair and walking away from my computer and taking a short break. Then visualize myself coming back relaxed and focused as if that trade never happened and looking for just...

Actually my Swing Trading is netting 30% returns per year on average for the last 3 years (That's how I've managed to pay most of the bills) It's only my Day Trading that I've struggled with, thanks for the advise but I would never let anyone else manage my money. Well maybe my buddy...

FB123, Wow, that was some really good advise and I have not really thought about that side of visualization. Ironically this summer I started playing a lot of golf and I was amazed at the similarities between trading and the game. Last Monday I shot my best game ever and two days later I...

Thanks for the feedback and I agree and that's what's kept me going for so long but some mountains are easier then others to climb. At 46 I'm feel like I'm getting too old to scale Everest.

Red, I was hoping you didn't see this thread lol. Since last time we spoke I went back and simmed for a few months to get my confidence / head right and then went live for 3 solid profitable months with no mistake, only to wake up today and throw it all out the friggin window. I wish...

I've tried EVERYTHING from reading Kiev, Douglas, Steenbarger, I even hired Robin Dayne the NLP psychologist. I meditated, I visualized, you name it I've tried it all and some stuff helped but all it takes is one bad day like today and I wipe out 2 months worth of profits. So what's the...

That's the crux of it. My whole life I've been super disciplined as an athlete a business owner etc... That's what makes this sting so much. As far as automating my methods, I tried that too but ultimately I still had control over the computer and would do idiotic things like...

Thanks for the inspiration but after all this time I realize it's just ME. I've spent more time studying myself over the last few years then I would have ever thought possible and the bottomline is I do not have the discipline necessary to do this for a living. For a long time I thought...

Yes, I passed on GOOG put got my arse handed to me in POT today.

Good bye cruel world ... I am leaving trading for good. When your life is a rat race, the best thing you can hope for is to be the fastest rat. I've had enough of this BS after 5 years and I wish you all good luck and farewell. :cool:

I'm a Canadian you moron, I know socialism and all it's nasty little secrets all to well.

Ha ! Gap up much bigger then I expected will wait till close to see how it finishes the day. No Trade
