    Do you keep a credit card ? Or only a debit ?

    I always pay in full as well. No point in giving away your hard earned money for no reason. That being said I charge everything because I get cash reward on a lot, like 1% cash back so I reduce the principal amount I spend by doing it. Also it's smarter to buy a house/ car financed even if you...

    I have both. Credit cards are for my protection in purchases as well as building credit for future purchases.

    Where to get Crash Course or Short Useful read on Economics

    Honestly no matter how well a retail trader or investor knows economics and finance they will always be behind the eight ball to hedge funds and whales. The funds will be getting out of the trade as the retail is getting into it. At least with a chart you are right there with them.

    90% failing rate , its true ?

    I've said it several times before, you have to truly love the skill of trading to be successful at it. Money is just not a good motivator. That's the biggest reason people jump into it because of the thought of chilling at home trading for a living, making big money, and making their own hours...

    Holy shit that's the last time I stay in around that time. Haven't been in futures when they dropped before and In the 15 minutes leading up to and the 15 minutes after I watched my positive $700 turn to negative $1200 in a matter of seconds and I had to sit there with clinched sphincter...

    My work days start at 3am so I leave my house by something, but may have been up since 10pm night before. I use that schedule towards my off days as well for trading. I work Sat - Monday and trade Tues thru Fri. My off days I sleep like 3 to 6 hours.

    Meditation: Does it Help Your Trading?

    I doubt I'd still be standing today if it weren't for God. Sure people can debate the existence of God or theology, but it takes as much faith to believe life came from non life as the inverse. All I know is he took a nobody with nothing more than a GED and enabled him with a skill that has a...
