Friend, it does not matter in the end. You're either driving a lambo (or slinging several planes / chopperz), or you're reloading your account OVER AND OVER! If you turn this into a calculus problem and take the limit as time approaches infinity, you quickly discover there are only two...

I've converted from part time to full time trading, and back again, several times. Being a contract engineer living on the road I could afford to lose, so I did, often! Once I had a year or two off to study trading and narrow the focus, the results begin to appear. The biggest threat was the...

I see you have tried a small target instead of freestyle exits. Looks great!

While we disagree on the mathematical predictability of charts and patterns, I'm with you on the only truth in trading there ever was and ever will be. When money is tight, great assets get auctioned off at their BOTTOM DOLLAR! Vultures and ravens survive in the wild by waiting for the free...

The legend of the holy grail, philosopher's stone, and guru buy signals always ends up the same. Tonz of wasted years looking for what is not there. "Don't confuse activity with results" -some hard nozed manager I met as an intern, back in the day

It was you! Stop giving these noobs all the secrets. :D

8. BUCKET SHOPS These businesses provide gambling services to the public, offering a real-time display of market prices of various assets while allowing them to buy or sell a facsimile of the asset from the broker, rather than a real counterparty at the exchange, and settle up the win or loss...

"time to reload your account, small trader" -emg, a classic demotivational poster from 10 years ago

There is a very experienced trader on this very site, who still posts occasionally, who recommended doubling your money first using the weekly charts only, then move down to daily, then hourly, and finally the daytraders timeframe. I'm not sure how serious he was, but it lit the fuze in my...

Ah, memories. The one dimensional trading cheat code. I studied buy signals from a Guru for several years (even backtested a few of them) and realized they were 50-50 unless triangulated with a few more factors. And the best one was MAXIMUM PAIN! Get in after the disaster!

This is great, and The Answer happens to be a mechanical system that requires getting aboard, sitting still, and waiting until it arrives at the end. Proof that trend following actually works? :D

The reversal is an upside-down V, while a pullback is a windsock shape with a much shallower downside. All the V shape rallies we keep getting are reversals back up, obviously!

Exited with tiny profit, because it's better than a loss!

Out here for 2.8% profit. Lunch money!

I'm glad you can freestyle your trades, but for me it always ends in furious anger. I am literally my own contrary indicator! :D

Great insight. Risk Management is the chief cornerstone of profitable trading. Plug the leaks and the rainwater builds up faster!

I can assure you, winning is better because you can buy things with the money. Yes I trade real money, not a lot but enough to matter for me, and I've seen several winning strategies over the past 12+ years get destroyed because they were shown to the public, either on here or in a subscription...

Nice job. I knew you were just playing dumb this whole time, sandbagging to get us to gas out. A few of them fools got totally exasperated. Totally flustered.

You're gonna go silent during the next slamdown. And all we're gonna hear is Ken Calhoun nailed it on UVXY!

I found out the hard way that this world values knowledge, luck and skill much more than mere motion. But you can't win if you don't bet, so post some trades already!
