For some reason, I was breaking the stop-loss rule by always adjusting the exit point or rate and therefore it never get hit; I applied second rule called time-loss, meaning that if a single trade still show a loss, say after two weeks, then get the hell out. It's enough, too much damage to the...

Those two things - being out of the game and too many being out of a position make trader quit. :D

Yep, because we may risk being out of a position before it's going to show positive result.

Very tough to do so. Loss toleration depends on the volatility of a particular security.

A bad thread doesn't hurt ET but a bad trader does. :D

A bad trade depends on one's feeling. Some people feel uncomfortable to cash early profit and feel satisfied when they exited early avoiding widened loss; while other feel happy with early profit and having very small number of losing trades. The latter is a disaster. :D

IncreaseNow, Take his advice seriously. He wasn't kidding.

Nothing bad happened, I never traded CL. I was kidding and at the same time to give an example that a trader can be right with empty pocket. So we need to be careful and not acted that way about a strong conviction that the future will be at a specific price. If I were betting on CL and acted...

I trade what I feel comfortable with. By the way, stock is already future. As you may remarked that when a company reported its quarterly result with big earning but its stock price went down. Why? Because the outlook (future earning, not the current earning) is bleak.

NYSE stocks, I'm not smart enough for the fast moving NASD stocks. :D

Because you focus on winning side instead of focus on controlling losing side. Then you strongly hate lose, lose is something you weren't prepared to accept. Somebody mentioned the below thinking concept in your CL thread: True professionals are concerned about what they can lose while...

Encouraging performance! IncreaseNow seems to have been changing from something FIXED into something FLEXIBLE. :)

Under high stress the result is likely the opposite of what we wanted. Scared money has high level of stress. Death threatening has high level of stress. What's the difference between paper and real trading? => Stress.

Big trader have a chance to try to make market move. I said make market move, not move the market. Kind of manipulation attempt huh!

Reaching second attempt for support around $120. And...? I'm finally right with IncreaseNow, LOL. Sadly, no more money to short, account was wiped out. Yep, we were right with empty pocket. :D This is a good example that trading is very risky that even the trader was right but with little...

Yep, that's right. GS is the most powerful index than the DOW and S&P500. GS is for the Gold Sucker. :D

The zone surrounding the breakout is the selling zone, those who bought at that level are happy with break even or having small profit after a prolonged paper losing with worry and hurt. So you wait until it has passed this selling zone with a comfortable distance.

They didn't realise that successful trading is not only about successfully pick up top and bottom, but also being able to pick up a small portion of a move. Great chance of success relies on cutting off the greed.

Don't know why you want to reveal of what you have been doing. I keep it secret regardless it is working or not.
