Hi VisionTrader, Great signature. I wrote that one down!! Thanks, gotta_trade

Well, I had a bad day today. I couldn't do anything right. It was truly amazing. I almost wish I broke my rules of discipline, cuz then I could justify the loss and I could immediately attempt correct the behavior. Losing happens, can't be avoided. There are so many different...

Hi Jack, That is so true, but why do we always fight to complicate that process? gotta_trade

I wonder if the "new" traders are making any money. Or are they just attempting to get back in because the market HAS rallied and they think it's going to be like the 90's?? If that's the case, in 3 to 6 months they will be dropping out again. I would love to see alot of fuel added to this...

Pete, No question about it, you have to put in your time. It takes years and years and years....It's a never ending process. There are different stages and levels, but it never ends. I'm happy that you're making some money. You're getting financially rewarded while you learn. That's...

Isn't Sunday night great...we get to work tomorrow. A few years back, I would actually figure out exactly when the weekend was 1/2 way over.....to the minute. How crazy is that? But, then again that was during the roaring 90's. It was like being a kid in a candy store.

I watch CNBC until 10:30 est, then I put on MSNBC until 3:00 est, then I watch CNBC until 4:00. Once in a while I'll listen to some cd's during the middle of the day. (I'm a huge KISS fan and I also like Emenim) I get my morning scoop from briefing.com and CNBC. I find the CNBC market talk...
