    Social Influences of Being A Trader

    then - according to your logic - there are 2 groups of people - those who produce something (the GOOD people) and those who don't. well - in the us - probably more than anywhere else - there are only few left who produce anything - do you think that all the other ones should feel bad then? of...

    traders who are deeply religious

    i second that 100%. religion is probably (honestly i'm pretty sure) the root of all problems. (overpopulation, war, aids, etc.)

    Social Influences of Being A Trader

    frankly i don't care at all what anyone thinks about trading - but: first of all everybody does what he does because he has to earn money to survive - and not primarily because he wants to contribute to society or whatever. speakin about trading - do you know how big the brokerage industry...

    some people think trading is like a warrior's quest

    pure nonsense. only those who do it for the action maybe see it this way. successful trading has nothing to do with fighting or war, etc. if it would be war - how exactly would you fight - against whom??

    does the money make you happy?

    this person is just a spoiled little asshole - and for sure has been his entire life. i bet he didn't work a single minute in his life and inherited all his wealth. this is exactly what i was referring to in the former post - not knowing how it feels to live without money - and so having...

    does the money make you happy?

    talking about money i think there are generally two groups of people. those who don't have enough and therefore have to work and those who have enough and don't have to work. the question is - those who already have enough - do they know that they have enough? if not and they keep chasing...

    does the money make you happy?

    what is happiness? is it having absolutely no problems - being healthy, rich and loved etc.? money does not make you happy - this is what they keep telling you. well - money ALONE does not make you happy - if you have everything you need for being happy - EXCEPT money- then a little (or a lot...

    IB: Older TWSes no longer work as of today?

    i use version 851.9 along with java 1.4.2_05 - no problems here. always using the latest version right from the start is not a good idea anyway - even more if one doesn't need all those "features".

    I have this dream...

    if you are trading intraday solely - just keep away from such situations. those scenarios you described are simply results of massive greed. so if you are in the market and such a thing starts - get out quickly. if you are not in just relax and watch and do not even think about jumping in.

    exactly - and what is the problem? did you ever hear that the lower the entry barrier for a business - the higher the failure rate? what about opening a restaurant - selling food to people - everybody has to eat - so how hard can it ever be to make money with a retaurant?? do you know the...

    YM Traders

    i know what you mean and you're right. but if you make less trades with more contracts - the exposure is of course smaller on the one side - but higher on the other side - perhaps if you should ever have a problem with someones fat finger trade, etc.

    YM Traders

    that's true for sure - but why would anyone being that successful ever want to work/trade for a fund?? as far as is see it - you try to become an independent trader because you absolutely do not want to work for anyone else / being responsible for anything else than your own money, etc.

    Need help breaking a disasterous habit

    i don't understand your problem with the Dow/YM. if you trade the ES - ignore the dow. concentrate on the technicals of the ES and act accordingly - and if your current strategy does no longer fit - find something new. what exactly makes you think the ES is a derivative of the YM??
