IMHO I like Vol's posts because I look at the market at that time and try to figure out how one could come up with that POV... Obviously, what he is doing can be done! Learn to fish vs being given one.... sort of thing. Not there yet, but making some progress. Thanks Vol. And many...

Someone asked where you were at over on the es journal.... huh... that one job related mention must have been the biggie faux pas... (that no one has posted here yet!) I just want to thank you though for having posted your trades. It was a delight and inspiration to see you work.

My dad took full time care too for about a year, before graduating hospice here at home in March. Mom is in hospice now, but takes occassional care. You are doing the right thing. What you are doing can be more demanding than can be told. For me, I could short term swing trade minimal...

Some mentors cost money to train with. If you are teachible, doubtless there are some that are worth it. Research and find your own... if that's what works for you. And you can learn a heck of a lot just following along here at ET. More than you may likely learn from any one mentor. Ammo's...

Good to see you trading again Jas Liked the post about trading relaxed...

Being around people who are successful, and who also can model or teach what they are doing, may be missing for those who never succeed. I have two friends who signed up for those infomercial learn-to-trade sites. Neither found success that way. And each spent some tens of thousands on the...

Been reviewing my first 100 trading days. I am both embarrased and delighted to say the main thing obvious is that I have not understood how to use a set-up. Perhaps even what a set-up actually is. Seems odd. After studing 8 or 10 books in detail, and reading many many more. After...
