JScott, You are not Sir RN

Rolextrader And I’m suggesting this not knowing what “long runs” specifically means - but it should not matter Try using a % of a set ATR period such as: 150% of a 4 day ATR / 150% of a 5 Min (settings are only used as examples - not a suggestion of what to use) And...

Point taken Sir eta - And that is how I view my LLC I trade under... But my day trading (to me) is how I described it Take Care RN

Sir To me trading is a grind – day in and day out… week over week / month over month… I’ve also heard it described (very accurately) as a marathon…. not a sprint Do I like trading – Yes no doubt…. But it’s still just a job. Regards RN

Sir FWIW & IMHO While sitting on your hands (when in a position - AND it’s going your way) is extremely important – no doubt Being able to sit on your hands, (while on the sidelines – as XXXSkier describes) – is infinitely more important (This is the point I'm fairly certain...

TD, Let’s talk a bit 1.) NOD is ~18 months into her trading career – Was your mental make up so strong - at that stage – that you had no need for a little encouragement? 2.) NOD has posted her issues quite clearly in this journal 3.) NOD will change when she decides it's time...

Was it due to leverage or volatility? I had assumed the latter RN

Well FWIW.. Everything spouted, touted, or shouted (The list is quite lengthy) Whenever anything of value is shared it is usually ignored – or WAY overlooked – being perceived as too simplistic (We humans sure are a strange bunch :confused: ) IMHO of course Happy Weekend...

Sir, And I'm not trying to jack with you (I've been there) But why didn't you exit before it got to that point? Yes I know it sounds so logical, easy, and the right thing to do now (after the fact) btw - My question is a rhetorical one. RN

Metoo, A Very Successful Journey to You Sir

IMHO Sir Mental imagery (aka visualization) – Is where you sit quietly and play something out, that you want to have happen, in your mind’s eye. Akin to a movie or play inside your head with you getting results that you want…. I can’t do it… I’ve tried, but can’t...

TZ Probably sticking my nose where it don’t belong – but why not let him be… He’ll either succeed or fail – then we’ll all know In the meantime none of us are out anything… It’s like picking at a scab Sir – it never gets any better.. just sits there and festers...

> 90% Psychological BTW - I trade to make money… and I have absolutely no compunction about that fact whatsoever Regards RN

Hell now I'm gonna sound guru-ish…. IMHO Sir Becoming complacent about trading is akin to becoming bold or brazen (egotistical) about it… otherwise why would you ever become complacent? I am humble with regard to trading– and to that end – one of the things I know is – I...

BP, Very true Sir…. But keep pushing forward and it becomes very “not” so hard The way to get there – look within…. It’ll stay hard until you decide it’s time for it not to be Sir Just food for thought from a redneck Take care
