Give him the benefit of the doubt, its a lesson we all have to learn at some stage.

You would eventually lose everything. You will get a string of losses its inevitable.

haha, if they do, it wont be before bending Britain over a barrel and giving the country a good fisting. We shall see just how stiff the upper lip is after that What What! Just so you know, I live in Britain and I dont care either way. Its all a circus, no one knows whats going on. :D

I disagree. Just because a trader is ok with random does not mean that their entire approach is based on luck, God, and chance. Less analysis, more involvement I say. Of course trading involves luck but how do you define luck? A golfer can take 10,000 swings before eventually hitting a hole in...

Thanks for explaining. Im a futures trader so anything to do with options or shares goes over my head. Way too complicated for me. I can understand how noobz get smoked in forex because some of the leverage available there is simply outrageous but in the futures market there is a layer of...

Can you help me with this? 1. Why is it smart for obvious reasons? Its not obvious to me. 2. How is leverage even used? If youre trading position size based on percentage of your account how is it good or bad? To me it is a confusing term. If youre in for 2% or greater than your account size...

Thank you @Sprout So much wisdom in your post. I am grateful that you took the time to share your thoughts. You have given me a lot to think about. What a wonderful day it is today :D

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. So many good points to talk about but Ill go with the quote above for now. I think it would be a damn fine trait to learn to sit patiently and wait for the market story to unfold and reveal itself. Patience and a practiced technical approach that you are...

ok. I feel like an idiot now. Thats so obvious.

I read that the other day - what does it mean?

There is no truth, only perspectives. Nietzsche Whatever you believe about the market is just a figment of your reasoning mind which itself is influenced by emotion and prejudice.:D

Thats interesting. I take it you have reached a certain level of ease with the market and within yourself? Care to expand on the journey you took to reach this?

If you like that then check out Chaos game. It blew my mind and was a great leap forward in my understanding of market behaviour. Basically random is random until you introduce restrictions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_game Also, look at the Sierpinski triangle...

Thanks for your suggestions. I think I have come across the wrong way in this thread. Im not an angry trader at all. I win and lose many trades which all of which go in my spreadsheet. There are times however when I notice myself weaker than usual such as when I havent eaten properly, or tired...

Sabotage, my friend, is bottling everything up and pretending that you have control over your biological impulses. When someone tells me they dont care then one of two things: You are trading for fun. The money doesnt matter. You are lying and want to get semantic on the definition on difficult...

That is the beauty of this game. There are no secrets. A succesful trader can share everything in great technical detail and yet no one else will be able to replicate it. It could take mere seconds for me to decide on a trade but to try and describe to you the reasons behind my decision would...

Thats what i want to understand and deal with. I dont like hard and i dont like unecessary effort if i can help it. This shouldnt be hard and i want to address any weakness of mine no matter how subtle. I used to be a tool jig and die maker by trade and i like things to be squared away.

Buy strength and sell weakness. He says we are all conditoned with it. Perhaps its a natural thing to be contrarian. Im wondering why that is.

Yeah its hard for me. Why?
