Let me add I never outperform the mkts, no matter what the day brings!! Big deal, it's solving the puzzle that's fun, no?? We walk away from everything just to see a dream come true. Then all of a sudden , like a miracle, something clicks, and after years of being nothing, we go in style...

tntneo remarks are right on regarding trading big up/down days. Let me add flexibiliity to the equation. Most good traders were probably initially set up wrong, or at best marginally uncomfortable with the early action, since it was counter to the way trading methods were employed in order to...

my take is that one can't just wish away a psychological problem with a psychological solution; what I mean is, just saying that I will be 'accountable' or assuming I will be, by pretending it is my grandmother's money or some other mental trick won't work except in the short term because it is...

Opposites attract; it would be really boring to be in a room with two of me. I relish my babe's disdain for my trading because she brings me into her world which is so exciting and different. Give and take i guess one would say. Just so long as she or other acquaintances aren't negative is...

From most postings on the internet, i was under the impression that most everyone used scans for daily trading candidates; i have been specializing in one stock trading since 1989; thought i was alone in that strategy, guess i should get out more!! Choice of candidates on this thread is...
