You don't size up if you are losing money, but if you are consistently making money (or even breaking even when you first start) then you should size up. I was nervous trading 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, etc.. shs at one point. It took me about 3 - 4 months to get to 1000 shs. But each...

Anyone who post fake numbers on the P&L thread is serious deranged and probably has mental illness. That being said, it's probably a good guess that mainly successful traders will post their P&L numbers. Just think about it, if a person was losing money and not very consistency, would they...

Oh yeah, I'm not trading tomorrow. Have a good weekend all.:)

You guys should meet up at Anyday http://www.coffeeshop.freeuk.com/Database/ShopsA/Anyday.html Great spot, I know the ower personally...I'm sure I can work out a discount for regular meetings.:D :D :D

I am assuming that the blackbox will immediately send a order out when I hit the key. If that is the case a market order for 6,000 shs will go out at once and the stock (if thin enough) will most likely spread up and I would get a worse price than if I went market 3000 shs. And what about if I...

about time you piker. :D

If you want to be a successful trader you need to learn how to make money back, it's very important. As for thoughts, what I do when I am down in the morning is not size down like most people, but rather keep my size the same or size up BUT only take high probability trades. I become really...

My edge probably is 30% of my success and 70% is discipline and risk management. Also a lot of people have my edge, I'm just a tape reader. My real success comes from my ability to follow the 70% to a tee...The bottom line I could give you my edge and you still may not make money.

It's a good idea if you are passionate about it, which it sounds like you are. And if it is not lucrative, you are going to have to find a way to make it (i.e. Jack Schwager).

+1200 took a 3hr break to see superman, good flick.

REALLY, THAT'S HUGE! Okay, I feel a little better.

It may be a tiny fee, but it will cost me $8,000/yr. I would like to hear from other traders (nysekiller??) that do more volume than I do on the NYSE and how much it will cost them??? I want to make myself feel better. :D
