Yeah, I'm sure south beach parties much harder:). SB city noise ordinance doesn't allow clubs to stay open past 2am. SB is still a small commiunity (I think the pop is at 80k people). That's really the best part - small town with a great party school that attracts the hottest women from all of...

Well you maybe right. However, we've got UCSB here. I haven't seen another town where the number of amazing 18-22 year olds (my prefered age group:)) far out numbers any other portion of the population. Young, hot, sweet girls that love to party...

I see an athletic injury specialist weekly (I have a bad knee - I was a baseball catcher through high school/college, caused some joint damage). This doctor practices what he preaches - marathons, triathlons - you name it - the guy is in his 50's and in better shape than me. I'm 27 and very fit...

I'm already starting to feel it more! It sucks, seems like just yesterday I was 22 and partying till 3 am with no problem being semi-functional the next day. These days the hangovers are waay more brutal - I've been trying those "Chaser" pills, they kind of work but I still feel somewhat shitty...

Don't you have another persona to use pal? You stink of BS. Just my humble opinion... prove me wrong.

Santa Barbara, aka my home town. The most beautiful women you've ever seen, great weather, great surf, and, its a fun affluent community atmosphere to boot.

Yeah, of course I'll agree with that, but running/exercise and a super healthy diet reduce risks for both. Checks, balances and moderation my friend. I run 3-5 miles almost daily (avg 4x per week) and I eat the best quality/healthy food available (mostly sushi). I know there are things I do...

Well, I'm in your boat. 3-4 cups a day everyday. 5:30 am, 10:30 am, 2:30 pm, 4 pm. Its like clockwork - I need my fix 4 times a day. Why do you want to quit? There's nothing wrong with coffee, it has magnesium and potassium, which are good for you. I don't beleive caffeine has any serious...

Kind of a self-defeating question, don't you think? A wanker, by definition cannot get laid - hence the wanking. Maybe its just my social circle, but the women I meet smell out BS in a matter of seconds. They also smell out insecurity quickly as well. As someone mentioned, when you are...

Nathan, You're young - that's okay, just make sure you set some reasonable goals at the moment. IMO school should be your #1 priority (but I'm just a guy on an internet forum, so by no means should you listen to me). Given you will trade regardless, you next goal has to be a good/detailed...

I can't stand the religious/political crap in the chit chat forum - it goes on and on about the same thing everyday. Personally, I'd like to talk about fun stuff - like women, cars, jokes etc .. theres hardly any of that in chit chat anymore. What's the prboblem with just spliting it up into...

Nathan, Why don't you provide us with some personal history? I don't know you, your accomplishments, your age, maturity level etc etc... hence I cannot make a judgement about your aptitude towards the markets. Given this, what cheese says is dead on - you have not prepared a comprehensive...

I think you pointed out the the real issue here: emotional balance, knowledge and self-trust. You trust yourself to get out without fear/rejection if things start looking erratic, that comes from a proper balance of confidence, humility and market/self knowledge. Trading is a balancing act...

:D EDIT: Its the green stuff next to the tomatoes at the salad bar.

Nah I don't think thats it exactly. You do not have to take on more risk. You have to learn to accept losses. Losses are good, they happen daily and as long as you keep them small, learn from them and take them objectively, things will eventually start coming together. Monetary risk should...

I think you are on crack my friend. Some people just "get it", some don't. If you are still putting in that much time after 1 years worth of hard work - this may not be the buisness for you. Time to move on.

I lose money daily :) Most of what has been said in this thread falls under discipline - especially the study, analysis and preperation comments. Most simply do not have the ability (in terms of giving a substantial effort) to take these steps, the lure of the "get rich quick" mentality is...

After this post, I'm not going to give you anymore negative attention. You get enough of it already. Is this how you derive value from your existence? Via seeking negative attention? Via pissing people off? You are a whore for abuse - women whore their bodies out because they feel...

You know what - F--k you asshole! I've had enough of your idiotic shit on this topic. You are f--king wrong and don't know shit. Who the fuck are you to trivialize psychological disorders? My mother is bipolar and it destroyed her f--king life you ignorant fuck. Drugs were HELPING her for...

Just thought I'd share a new personal best. Held all day longs on two positions: ES and Q's (I scaled into the Q's), full margin/leverage. :) Mike P.S. I know I don't post often ~ I have a lot of plus/minus 1-2k days where I don't get anywhere.
