Cool! I look forward to opening Stocks and Commodities magazine one day and seeing the review and hearing about how you made $millions selling it - funded your trading account and then went on to make millions more. We'll all fondly reminisce about how we remember Aphie when he first started...

The Market is like a flowing river, free to follow its own course. Knowing this the Master doesn't try to swim against the current, doesn't try to bend the Market to his own will. Instead he observes the flow, and jumping in, allows himself to be carried to profit. :cool:

Aphie, You are sad sad sad. How on earth can you pour scorn on such wisdom as eastern philosophy when you have no experience of its capability???? I would have thought that as a beginning trader you'd keep an open mind for anything that can help you. As much as learning the skills and...

This is a good one.... http://www.cyberastro.com/online/iching.asp Helped me make some good $$ in yen and cocoa a few years ago. :) Indie

Wouldn't it be better to let everyone trade which ever way they like - it would be a chance for everyone to show off their method?? :) Indie

I keep hearing positive things about Don Miller's new emini course. Does anyone have any experience with it (or his QQQ course)? What is his approach? What indicators does he use? (OK Cathy now's your chance to plug your CD again!!!) Thanks Indie :)

Aphie you really need a serious whack round the ear. You're like a hyperactive chicken with its head cut off. For god's sake man listen to the advice you are being given - why are you are so deaf that you keep on this mission to self distruct??? So many people have given you wisdom that...

I agree with metoxx there. I'd say the cure for overtrading is being extremely discriminating about which trades you make. Thats why is vital for a new trader to start really slowly (1 or 2 trades a day) and not increase until those trades are showing consistent profits. There is such a...

Hi Aphe, I know that there is a huge amount of pressure both self inflicted and from everyone else to succeed and it seems the common result of that is to try too hard, overtrade and lose. The best advice I ever got as a new trader was to take a horse size chill pill and take it real slow...

This humor reminds me of someone...Mr Sub maybe??? :D :D :D

Hey Commisso whats all this about having no choice but to act - sure we have no choice but to act because we have a mind and a body. BUT isn't it about how we identify? ... we are not the mind or the body, we are consciousness and if we enter the witness state (waking Zazen?) we are albeit...

I would think that like any virtue, patience has to be learned by practice. It won't necessarily be easy but what thing worth having is? In trading its got to be one of the most important attributes so its definitely worth it. I know I've left so many $$ on the table because i wasn't either...

I often trade with my wife for a few of reasons: 1) She's smarter than I am! 2) I/she wanted her to learn how to trade so that she would understand what I'm doing and be more supportive 3) If anything happens to me (I get sick, have to go somewhere, want to take a day off) she can...

Well Captain Nihab you seem to espouse not listening to other people's advise - but who are you? What are your credentials? Why should we listen to what you have to say? Perhaps you could post your successes so we know why we should HEAR you. I think its true that most really successful...

Hi y'all, Does anyone know how to code easy language so that it places an order that reverses your position. Say I'm short one contract and hit a price where I want to reverse and go short. I'm trying to do it with an 'If market position = -1/1 then what?? how do you reverse or say...

Hey Aphie, Was today the kick off of the road to riches? Hope you had a good one! :) Indie

OK guys, I need some help here.... I keep having this annoying syndrome where I spend all day fighting to make a few points and when I look back at the charts at the end of the day I find that I was so busy buying/selling reversals for a few points that I missed the major trend of the day...

Aphie, You make some good points but as you can see from the responses, most of us can't HEAR you because you aren't trading. You can theorize up the wazoo if you like, but don't expect anyone to take you seriously until you get you feet wet in the markets. I for one am looking forward...

Dan, Imagine for a sec that your mind is a movie screen and flashing across it are all your thoughts, emotions, impressions left by previous experiences etc etc. You can get as rational and apply as much critical observation as you want but as hard as you try that movie is still going to...

So glad you got back into the debate Daniel - thought we'd lost you there for a while. There's nothing wrong with asking 'Whats in it for me?". The reason anyone might want detachment is that it leads to great skill in action. With detachment whatever you are doing, you can SEE STRAIGHT...
