My worst drawdown was 50% over a period of about four months, slowly bleeding. I was totally off my game. The following six months after the drawdown I quadroupled my account, as I got my act together. I'm a pure discretionary trader, and I believe 100% in myself and my abilities.

pattersb: Noone outside the US takes Bush seriously.

TraderManiac, I've only read the first few posts on this thread. I'm worried that you may be suffering from severe overtrading. If you're profitable, you shouldn't have a problem with your commissions. If you're not, then you should slow down your trading bigtime. Don't blame commissions...

Married, and inform the wife every now and then on how it's going. I discuss it with her, but not that often.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060422/ts_afp/usiraqweaponsintelligence_060422081547 WASHINGTON (AFP) - The Central Intelligence Agency warned US President George W. Bush before the Iraq war that it had reliable information the government of Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, a...

That's definitely a good point - it is definitely not consequent, but then again there are also many reasons why Iraq has been a much easier target to get into (holding it is something else). Iran is much more powerful in the Arab-world, and has a powerful network of terrorists in many...

That's a laughable story from a laughable website.

Interesting, with me it's the same thing but perhaps even more extreme - I think perhaps 5% of my trades generates my profits. I have a few churn-trades, a few losers (some bigger than others), then some gainers and here and there I catch some amazing trends and manage to really ride them until...

Haven't read the entire thread, but to cashmoney69 who started it: I totally agree with you that the money makes life easier, and gives you an opportunity to do more of what you want. It doesn't provide direct happiness, but it certainly can buy a lot of worries off your back.

Sadly, too much to hope for... Ignorance usually prevails...

Just chipping in to say that papertrading is quite useless in my opinion, as it's how you react to drawdowns and handle your own mentality during trades that eventually will be key to your trading success (if you trade discretionary). Sure, it can be good to get you to think about how you're set...

Ah, yes - my bad. I meant US, sorry about that. No offense intended. Been to the Canadian Rockies once for skiing, loved it!

When SA is being put on ignore for quoting BBC News, someone is in denial... As for your comments based upon me being from or living anywhere in South or Latin America, your assumption is wrong.

You guys in NA are soo in denial... You may not like it, but that's the way the world feels about the US right now.

WHAAAAT??? You got to wake up, dude. 1. Where did I claim that "all those rap artists lyrics aren't racist?" I haven't gone through all of them yet. I've just generalised and said I'm seeing several which doesn't seem racist to me. I've started with your quote #34 which isn't racist...

You've got to get some numbers on this. You cannot just generalize like this. I don't care if the artists have appeared on tv and in movies. And does your list have 100 artists? Are you aware that for instance in 2002 Eminems album alone accounted for over 1% of the total number of units sold...

Well, if that's the case you should quote the racist part instead of your original quote. That's what you have to do in every quote, quote the racist part. I hope you understand that I don't have time to check out all the lyrics you've referenced, and so far - just from this particular quote...

EqtTrdr, learn how to read first. Then read my post again, where I SPECIFICALLY EXPLAIN THAT I'M JUST SINGLING OUT ONE PARTICULAR QUOTE FOR DISCUSSION. I haven't commented on the others in particular, although there are many dodgy quotes. If you're just another racist troll, let me know and I'll...
