    Porn addiction and the trader

    I think we are falling for the old"porn destroyed my life" bit. Still a strange thread, that has, most likely, not helped me figure out trading. My BS in Psychology ain't helping much neither. I guess, the one thing I have figured out, is that I some kind of a brain issue called ADHD...

    You must be Proud !!!

    I had been on ET a long time back. Then, did some stupid things, like buy futures, and I thought I was an expert, because I had my hot little brokers license, in hand. Got pawned, not like lose cars or house, but super quick limit down on a Monday. Took a long, long break like till now...

    Mastering the trade

    I'm a newbie too, and unless you write something really stupid, then you will sit here like I did and ask questions and hope for the holy grail answer. Recently, I have read some threads and it has cleared a lot up. But, I am nowhere near the holy grail, and I am new. From reading what you...

    Porn addiction and the trader

    No fucking way. I started a little trading last week and I can't stop listening to the shoutcast dnb channel. Drums and Bass droning techno, and it is relaxing me, in fact I can't stop listening, when I'm looking at the charts . When I'm on other sites I don't always listen to the dnb. I...

    How necessary are quantitative skills in order to trade profitably?

    This study is based on scientific certainty, and it is proof that ex-marines blew up their accounts, not because they lacked quantitative skills, but that they were trained, to blow things up.

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    What has been stated so far, is that you have to start trading. I have looked around for a sim and maybe the one mentioned would be good to try. I don't know if at this point it makes sense. I went ahead and traded this past week. Looking at what I have done Bought INTC at $22.86. My...

    How necessary are quantitative skills in order to trade profitably?

    I played craps for the first time in my life this March. I enjoyed it. I made a little money and went to the hotel stores and spent it. Felt good to spend the house's money.

    How necessary are quantitative skills in order to trade profitably?

    Is quantitative ability important to trading? I didn't post a valid answer. I don't have an answer. Premise: My assertion. " Intelligence, and quantitative skills are not essential to become a good trader and possibly make alot of money. Inference: I know some people that that are not...

    How necessary are quantitative skills in order to trade profitably?

    If you had understood the point I was illustrating.You didn't. I conclude that you have chosen to misunderstand the post. On the one hand you have concluded the salary figures I supplied as inaccurate. This assumes that your salary information is correct then? How did you verify your figures...

    How necessary are quantitative skills in order to trade profitably?

    Zdregs, to state that I am not so smart, is a bad argument. And then Visaria, states "good one" also equally absurd, that would presuppose that Visaria knows the true salary figures, and in the post, Vasarias merely agrees with you and doesn't post what the true salaries are. Another bad or...

    IF BAC is doing so well why borrow at 11% from Warren?

    I am not done venting about my, what was to be, a beautiful trade on BAC. I watched in disbelief, as all of my accumulated losses in my retirement account, that I am gambling with, had gone to a $300 dollar net profit. Maybe it's small potatoes compared to alot of you on here, but to me...
