yeah.. ok,, that will take let's see, forever! nope, sorry, it is time to live the dream

thank you... I agree... I just did the math and if I can stick it out for just 3 more months at the sales job, I will have over 12 months of living expenses in the bank, including all health insurance. etc...

I have found over this last year that the less input I get from the outside world, the better off my trading is. I long ago gave up any financial media such as CNBC, Mad Money, etc... Now I do not watch any Youtuber gurus, take alert services, etc... I feel that if I am forming my own...

for sure one week is nothing to make a decision over. It is more the experience of being full time that was the big reveal for me. Yes I have a trading plan and yes I follow it. I find my own trades and take no input from gurus, alert services, etc....

I said it 1000 times... that crypto would end badly,,, but No.. do not tell that to the crypto cult. Warren Buffet said it best.. crypto creates nothing, just like precious metals. It is air, blank, nothing.

yes all of that weighs on my mind. I was full time for a short time between jobs in 2020. I think alot of it is my age as well. I will be 56 in a few weeks. I am saying "if not now,when?" like if I go for it and fail that is not near as bad as never going for it and have those regrets.

something interesting happened to me this last week. background info, I am 55 and have been actively trading for 8 years, I have had jobs for a long time where I work out of my house and can work and trade at same time. This last week... First off I got COVID, that is the bad news. The good...

Good damm point.

I’m sure folks can relate. I just pulled an awesome 90% profit on calls for visa and only held for two days. Of course had held for just one more day it would’ve been over 200% return. This tends to drive me crazy I have issues

No you’re not OCD you are taking it very seriously. Mini traders just take this way too lightly. There’s a great story about Tiger Woods that comes to mind. So it’s the end of day one on a tournament and Greg Norman is up on the second story of the clubhouse schmoozing with Sponsor’s. He looks...

I make some short note on every trade on the spreadsheet. Especially where I did good or where I made a mistake. I asked tonight I will be doing constantly 8 to 10 trade for a week on the tractor I’m on right now so that’s about 500 trades or so. This isn’t gonna be some in-depth looking at...

That’s simple. To learn from my mistakes and to reinforce what I did good. Jesse Livermore is the greatest short-term traitor that ever lived. I wanna know what he did and do the same, not just the way that he went long or short but his habits as well. Livermore was a loaner and I am as well...

I am reading the Jesse Livermore book written by Livermore (vs. those written by others) called "How to trade in Stocks" In one of the first chapters is the story of how he got the bank Manager at Chase Bank to lock him in the vault on the last Friday of December and not let him out till...

this is probably a very stupid question.. but I have to ask... if an option contract has say 900 volume today... but 0 open interest,,, is that because open interest does not update intraday??

$YOU not sure what is going on here... YOU is up 36% for last 90 days vs. S&P -7% and up 17% last month vs. S&P -11%.... and there is a monster short interest at 29%... how is this stock doing so good during this down time for the market.

currently I am trading on a 1hr chart, holding for days at a time, focused on SPY, QQQ, IWM, USO... using the "super trend" indicator. I zoom out to 4hr for direction long or short.

me too...but it does not stop me from making myself crazy with the "what if" scenarios

After 8 years I am still trading, that is a miracle in itself. I have been challenged mentally more than any non-trader could ever imagine. I am so much less emotional than I was before about trading. I trade WAY less now than ever. BUT... I still suffer from all the crazy stuff,,,, "should...

is this the breakout ?? I am long RIOT

Yes so true. And God for bid people imagine that they could make more than their peanut returns they get out of mutual funds. Many times we make in one day what they make in an entire year of being invested.
