    Why is trading so difficult?

    Trading is just the tip of the iceberg. What comes with it would be the difficult part: egos, overconfident, joy, sadness, shamefulness, etc; Money-management: setting a Personal Stop Loss Limit Per Day, what % of profits are you willing to lose before stopping for that day, set lot sizes vs...

    Need Advice

    Funny you should say that. I was thinking the same thing that trading is a battlefield and we can get emotionally beaten up at times. So having a job unrelated to the markets is a different setting altogether with a different kind of stress. Maybe a whole lot less? Bows and Arrows don;t always...

    Need advice on exits

    Just keep trading until you can't trade no more or don't wish to trade anymore for that day. If you can execute that feat providing sound risk management skills followed by a pll (personal loss limit/day), then more power to you. Is it worth? Trading does not have to be a 9 to 5 job or a 16...

    The other day I met a trader

    I don't think anythings wrong imo. People can be judging, disrespectful and tend to put their nose where it does not belong. I personally don't like meeting people, I like staying home trading, playing video games or just having some peace and quiet. After all home is where the sanctuary lies...

    I tried TST, OneUP and Blue Point Trading.

    I think the biggest problem I have is lack of patience. I am still on an LTP with TST, but I have $500 to lose before I reset again. I have $1200 to lose on OneUp before I reset again and I am not with BPT anymore because of funds. I do not wish to reset again. My goal this week is to...

    Yes they did, but I think it's a huge mistake since the 10k can help a trader refine their skills and discipline with consequences. One can learn really fast to micro manage their trades with one lot size instead of going "big".

    "I want to make the money now, I want to make lots of money now". These are the quotes that get me into trouble. They are the foundation of me not taking profit when the signal goes against me, when no clear signal arises but I can go in anyway. Each of these and other mistakes are not part of...

    When I use to use to 10K combine, I found that the YM alongside finding 10 tick SL was suitable for me and even the 6b was great trading that. As for CL, I focused mainly on 1 trade per day that helped me passed that combine. But goodluck in succeeding this combine.

    What if you were to trade the LTP and Funded account like the Combine? The same enthusiasm, concentration and determination among other things. Things that can affect you with real trading: the thought of you worrying about what your peers and family would think of you if you fail or start...

    Anybody out there familiar with MTI- Market Traders Institute??

    Hello all, I have bought the Ultimate Package of MTI in roughly 2008. I wanted to get rich quick but get the best education to learn the market, how to trade.
