The dude is asking a question about trading psychology, not trading science. OP, been down the road you're talking about more times than I care to admit. We've <b>ALL</b> been down it. The first thing you gotta do is stop the bleeding. Trading smaller size on the following day and then...

I would not touch IB for futures. What the other guy said about $500 margins has some merit but I trade with a broker who offers that. IMO...it's pointless to require overnight margins for intra-day positions but I can understand why brokers are doing that. I saw what the futures market did...

The fees these guys charge should be against the law. Just insanely expensive. Who do they think they are, traders? :mad:

Much cheaper and less hassle to go the CTA route. I used to manage an LP and it was a royal pain in the ass. I switch to individual accounts. Ahhh....I have a life again! If you want to hear my experience send me a PM.

Damn! Am I glad I came across THIS post. I almost went long today :confused: And this coming from a guy who can't even afford a stockcharts.com subscription LOL.

Down over 1%? How is that Black Monday?

Amen to that but even with a Mac you still need the battery backup. My power went out once when I was good and long and boy, was I glad I had the battery backup

It has been my experience that Norton and McAfee are the most useless anti-virus programs available on the market. Neither of them can detect and clean even the most basic form of spyware. The most aggravating element of using either of these programs is completely uninstalling all of their...

It's about time America wakes up and realizes it's not B of A per se, but the Federal Reserve itself. To this day, very few people realize the Fed is a private bank. 98% of the population believes it's a branch of the government.

And it will be change you can believe in. It's nice to see the public a little pissed off. Up until now Joe American has been laying down. We are getting pretty close to the breaking point. Joe American will only take so much...

Read the thread about people not paying their credit cards and you'll quickly realize the answer is, not far.

Dude, you gotta let people know that is to add Port to their ignore list. Some people like fucking dildo's :D :D :D

Jobs may be fighting a losing battle but he has created a culture of innovation at AAPL that will survive should he lose his battle. AAPL will move forward with or without him but hopefully with him.

1 Limiting profits. The very nature of daytrading means that you are cutting your profit potential short by not holding for more than a day or a few hours. There are are moves that go on for days, weeks, and months with only the slightest pullbacks. These are the moves that make your year...

The Fed publishes its balance sheet on its public operations and yes, the Fed does in fact return 95% of the interest it collects from the government to the treasury. It's not the public operations that provides their windfall -- it's the private. Imagine for a second being the controlling...

Not even close. The Federal Reserve is the biggest leach society has ever fallen victim to. They control the housing, auto, and credit card markets, just to name a few. Do a little research on this agency and you'll quickly learn they are the most powerful entity ever created by man. Read...

Idiotism. But I guess you can't blame the guy for feeding other idiots what they want -- crap! I suppose he's not such an idiot after all. The people who watch the idiotic show suffer from the most severe form of Idiotism.

This is one of the best blogs I've read. Read this section. He's telling it exactly how it is. You can't <b>force</b> people or countries to take on debt. "We've got over a trillion in trash on our balance sheet now, which we promised would fix the problem but it didn't do jack. That's...

They are but they aren't depression-proof or, "I ain't got no freaking money-proof." The only reason we aren't in a depression is because of the aggressive actions of the Fed but just how long can the Fed keep things propped up? They can lower rates all they want and flood the market with...
