    The Dark Side of Suppressing Emotions While Trading

    Wow I can definitely relate to you OP. Like you I am in my late twenties. I got into trading and wanted it SO BAD. When the drawdowns came, I knew it was due to my rational thinking being distorted by emotional sweeps. I would get sucked into the noise. I was intensely focused on my P&L...

    Why is Facebook being hyped and marketed so heavily?

    Well, yeah I think it is silly everyone goes nuts for Zuckerberg. The guy got lucky, VERY lucky. He basically hit the lottery. However, the product itself has the potential to transform human interaction. I think electronic social networking becomes integrated into every human life one...

    Look what this guy twittered Jon Najarian (Dr. J).

    We all know Adami tagged that Melissa. With a few beers I'd go for a spin too, but I've seen better on CNBC, much better. I wouldn't stop at her. Does anyone else here think Brian Kelly is a closet fag???

    19% income tax for ALL

    The rich need to be taxed more, they have all the wealth. Not everyone can be rich. If everyone in the U.S. worked their ass off and did everything they could, we still need janitors and lunch ladies. There are only so many good jobs. People who get these good jobs make plenty of money...

    $25,000 minimum for daytrading needs to be changed

    I would support something that required a license or test to day trade. There should be no account minimum I agree. There is no reason people should be excluded from the markets due to their account size. If the government feels a need to protect people from day trading, make them take a 300...

    My turn now

    Well whatever, I would have waited until after Monday at least. I doubt we'll correct on a Monday... No need to expose yourself too early. We produced a strong bar on Friday. I imagine we get some mutual fund pumping on Monday. Then it isn't out of the realm of possibility that we pull...

    Technical indicators for intraday trading

    Yeah indicators are worthless. They help some guys build a decision making system, which is fine. Indicators show the past not the present = waste. Price Action / Level 2 tell you more than any indicator will. Just like someone else said, if you use indicators to make entry...

    Overtrading, forcing trades

    Do exactly that, SLOW it down. Be Patient. Avoid the first 30-45 minutes. Don't touch anything that makes you feel uneasy. Don't touch anything that has a risk beyond your risk tolerance. Ensure your risk and reward targets are realistic. You should have multiple reasons for getting...
