This was EXACTLY what I was talking about. Forcing yourselt to "think" about getting out of a trade. Should have stops put in, or at the very least, determine a stop mentally that you WILL get out no matter what. Got to figure out how to protect yourself from your lack of control of...

So is this available for the public, a useless advertisement, or a dumb post and a waste of time as it doesn't benefit anyone? lol, people these days

Still out there somewhere.

Sorry about that, yeah, I guess you could say I'm in a similar position, except your 50k starting capital, is equivalent to my 5k starting capital that I was able to dedicate to trading. The best way to learn is to learn from your mistakes, you had a huge one, never let it happen again no...

Yeah, I gotta say, I've lost a total of 3k, but it has lasted my trading career for 9 months, 20% drop in 50k sounds..... yikes, just insane to me. Of course, if you can afford to lose 20% of 50k, then so be it. But... I don't know about that. Sounds suicidal for a trading career.

Why not just put in the stop once you enter the trade. I always have stop as soon as I enter the trade, the key is placing the stop right. MENTAL stops force you to think more than you should, especially if emotions are controlling your trading.

been trading for almost a year now, 9 months to be exactly, i'm expecting i might even have to go for a nighttime job to support my trading career, but it is no big deal, i just love trading and will do it for as long as i live. Just want to gain more and more experience. It's been an...

Funny thing, I already do this :) I use Bodog.net to play my poker though, I do well. Although I play the really small games, I believe playing poker really helped me develop my patience. I never have played all in games because there is always some newbie in there going all in and I'm just...

You wanna know the most amazing thing... WE *US* actually came up with it I think. Japan didn't! (Hopefully not, otherwise I'll look like an idiot, or we just stole it or something) Just thought that was interesting. :p Military would probably use this first, then gaming industries...

Since I'm only 19...... Maybe by the time I hit 30, even I'll be able to use something like that. *I'm already looking at age 30, and yet I still need to be successful at age 19* Amazing stuff with technology these days, it's great when it works, it sucks when it doesn't. Good song too.

.... that is really some crazy stuff. Anyone remember Minority Report, with all that crazy screen touching stuff. That would be insane. Totally customizable interface, ability to have so many markets in place to trade, be able to zoom out and zoom in on the fly to get all the details you...

Lucky for me (Ironic?) that I don't believe in luck.... because if I did, I'd have the worst luck ever! :D

Yeah, I blew out one account, 2k. It was costly, then lost about 1k back when trading stocks *i was stupidly playing pennies* and then blew a 300 dollar mini forex account, but Forex seemed impossible, plus I never had any good charts, but, I have been paying the price to learn the hard way...

If all of the above is true, then I should be well on my way, taking a beating, but still surviving, approaching that mark where if you survive this long, you are getting the hang of it and really dedicated. Kinda funny how now that I have survived, time is running out and I need to start...

How many contracts did you trade Volente for that 17,000 profit?

I think I'm going to start a journal on ET to try and break myself of sitting on the sidelines. But, when I use NinjaTrader, I am still getting whipped around. I have 78% Win to Loss ratio on NinjaTrader for the past month of papertrading. So don't know what you mean about that, so I...

No worries Porgie, not trading in my real account yet, which is probably hurting me because I know I'd have been making money this whole week so far, more than I can imagine, and today I'm still just watching market action go by, just not yet pulling the trigger. I believe when I actually...

How could anyone possibly answer this question...... this question can't possibly have an answer. There are too many factors. This thread will not get an answer, it will get a ton of biased opinions... that is all. Will a crackhead be better at trading than a poker player, will a moving...

No Trades last thursday through today. Confidence has been built from just watching after being on a mini-vacation in PA (lots of snow), back in VA now. So, will see tomorrow if I make my move.

Not worth posting, 1 trade, - 30 (-35 including commissions). I have to go out tomorrow, and I'm going to be in Pennsylvania for the rest of the week. I'll be back Sunday night. Good trading to you all.
