Because I lived in the Northeast during his casino days, I followed the creep and his misadventures. He has ALWAYS been a loser. From the New York Times, 2016: In an August 1990 report, New Jersey regulators noted the “sheer volume of debt” on Mr. Trump’s holdings: $3.4 billion, including...

My experience has been that IBs OPG market order is efficient at the open, using Smart. Anything at the open involving stops or limits can leave you without a fill. So if getting in is important to you, try OPG, then later check it against other data sources to confirm you are getting a decent...

The house looks clean and neat, but the kitchen and baths are a problem. Buyers are looking for updated homes, or expecting discounts if they need to do the work themselves. A year ago in Colorado you probably could have gotten away with no updates. But this is a different market. So you...

First, appreciate that it's very unlikely you will ever develop a trading system that excels in all market environments. There is no "one thing fits all." So your objective should be to define what works...why it works...and when it works. Then build your systems around that. If your...

All in the mind? And where do you expect it to be? In your toes?

Thank you for taking the time to interview millions of folks who pray or meditate, and sharing the results of your studies. Very insightful.

Having a specific and proven technique helps it to become effortless. No different than with trading.

It is more specific in its technique and training. But any form of meditation, if done regularly, is better than nothing, IMO.

Of course. Many strategies live or die with the VIX. And I have found it critical to include it in developing anything related to the US market.

It may help you to look at the reaction to an open < or > a pivot point, as opposed to the open itself.

It's helpful to separate the technique of TM from the organization. The technique can be very effective when practiced regularly. Unfortunately the TM organization got out of hand and grew into a mess. Maharishi was a brilliant teacher, but a lousy manager.

But in many cases the differences are significant, and important. It may help you to pre-scan and create lists of stocks with different characteristics, prior to back testing and forward testing. For example, EPS (earnings), dividends, TR(Range/Volatility), industry, etc. etc. As just one...

You need to move on. At your age, your greatest risk is opportunity loss. What further time you waste on trading can be much better spent in developing other, more marketable skills, that will serve you and your family into the future. The issues you've experienced are not at all uncommon...
