Great thread! I've never done it - I find it so intersting though! Lets hear more stories:)

I will answer your question, but I also have to say that the question is flawed. I also have some questions for you: How old are you, how long have you been trading, and, are you blessed financially (regardless of the means by which you acquired any wealth) ? Money is created through action...

I'm up, I smell the coffee. Smells bitter. Are you bitter? apparently so... You're not smart enough to play this game. Stop, you are embarrassing yourself. I am starting to think you are a glutton for punishment. You probably take out all your bitterness on the markets as well. Maybe its time...

Great post. A woman will let you know quickly if she is attracted to you. If you can't figure this out (or are unsure) within a few minutes then shes not interested or you've got other issues going on... like a trade gone bad, get out and move on. Dating is silly. Its a show of courtesey...

Never ever trade because you feel you have too! That's a need that is emotional, not logical. This is how self-destructive habits are formed. From my experiences, the days I felt that I needed something from the market were the days I lost discipline - and - more often than not, lost...

Thanks mxjones and poundtherock. I appreciate your constructive comments. This is the first time I've expressed those ideas to anyone - theres something to be said for this type of interaction. There are people on this forum who know me, but theres also a sense of anonymity. I've always felt...

I hear you. I tip really well. That feels good, it makes others happy. Its neat to see the look of a cab driver when you tell him he can keep the change from a 20 for a 10 dollar ride. Even better is a hot cocktail waitress who comes back with a smile and prompt service after a generous tip. I...

LMAO... Hey, I'll be the first to admit it - it doesn't matter how much money I have, that's not what creates my inner self confidence/self worth nor does it create any happiness. I create that in other ways, not via my possessions. For me, self confidence, discipline, drive, honesty and good...

That post of yours that I object to SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - that's the problem. You are part of the problem. Rather than point out something tangible and argue AN IDEA (wow what a thought), you just came up with a condescending REACTION. So how about it? Tell me something of value...

"LOL, nasty little girl aren't you." You got the wrong website pal. Haven't you seen those dateline specials? The FBI sets up stings for guys like you. "You're just Steve's Pussy :)" Really? I haven't mentioned it once. You've mentioned it twice. Just out of curiosity... do your...

This is your post bud: "Eloquent, but if you look deeply into yourself you might find that you are not telling the truth. If you are then you may need to try an approach thats more helpful and less satisfying to your own ego." Okay, lets deconstruct this. You talk about speaking the truth...

Sorry. Got call BS on your post. I don't care if my odds are 50-50 (nor should anyone - you said yourself you don't try to predict the market SO WHAT DO YOU CARE about odds?). Just knowing that I can risk 3 points to possibly capture a 15 point move is more than enough for me to take that...

Ok, I just went short right now and need to think about something other than mrs market... Steve is hitting on some very important ideas about one's mental composition/behavior and its relationship to success. eco, Your post sticks out like a sore thumb - your are insecure and you just...

Thanks risk! FWIW I'm following your journal closely - you haven't posted there for a few days :)

Got both the morning downmove and the afternoon rally in the ER2 today, as well as some trades on the Q's. Mike

Broad market direction and the look and feel of the stock. Most stocks tend to lag the index futs direction (there are always exceptions of course). So, heres a simple criteria: What are the futs doing? Is the DOW down 50pts or more before 10am? Mike P.S. A weak looking chart always...

LOL... Melissa Francis. She looks like shes in pretty good shape - those eyes freak me out sometimes though. WRT Maria - a flabby ass is a major turn off for me.. Okay face though.

I'd say you've been trading approx. 3 months, probably less. You have no patience and little discipline. You do not anticipate possible entry points prior to market open, nor do you take time to understand real-time market behavior. You do not have a plan and you have not done your homework...

Ross, Pure mathematics is not derived from confidence. There is no emotion in the laws of math - mathematics captures indefinitely physical principles/inter-relationships from the world around us. Physics does this to some extent as well. What these true hard sciences tell us are not subject...

What exactly are you getting at here? That market statistics are flawed? Then you say this: "The math market, or stock market as many prefer to call it, is the finest example of mathematical emotions. Black boxes simply do a better job, at times, at recognizing the patterns of past...
