I just went to one on Saturday. It was pretty busy, but obviously not busy enough, after looking at their stock price. There was a Borders store a couple blocks away which I loved going to. But it closed many years ago. Sign of the times. (BTW, I don't wear turtlenecks or suede shoes. More...

The ignorance and tenacity of the original poster (bad combination), and the responses which keep feeding him are a big reason why the successful traders who would debate him are no longer here on this forum.

You bet.

Good. I wish I had your other job years ago. Just do whatever it takes to keep a solid foundation of confidence. Being in the market small is always better than sim trading. All the best. JNB

Let me ask another question. Do you HAVE to make money right now? I have been in that situation. You triggered that memory when you said you were afraid to let a profit get away.

This is pretty common, actually.

You sound like Maverick from Top Gun. Yes there is time to think. You should always be thinking about risk and calculating share size. It shouldn't take that long. BTW, HMNY was just an example.

HMNY and NVDA are good examples of what I am talking about.

I am also a stock trader. I trade 5 dollar stocks as well as 200 dollar stocks. But I have a fixed dollar loss on each trade. A five dollar stock may be going crazy, so I need to risk 40 cents, as opposed to a consolidating 200 dollar stock where I need to risk a dollar. Maybe you need to...

3k is irrelevant, since we don't know your account size, nor do we know what size you are comfortable trading. You tell us. Do you think you'll follow your rules if you decrease your size? Or, do you lack confidence, so you feel you need to refine what you are doing? Or both?

I had internet issues this morning, and I was just told I didn't miss anything. I guess this thread confirms that.

I'm getting in better shape, as well. Was around 230 at the beginning of the year. Around 210 now. I'm also trying to learn to just go with it and not push too hard. I believe you will get there faster if you are patient and disciplined while still working hard. The balance is hard to find...

I guess I'm just a down home Wisconsin guy who wants a companion my own age. We might not have sex often, but we are great together. How did this turn into a Dr Ruth podcast? Lol.

I've known her since High School, but we've been dating for a little over 2 years.

The middle leg works fine so far, but our sex life last weekend consisted of holding hands while watching the sunset. She promises me sex this weekend, but she made it sound like she's putting it on her Google calendar in between appointments. We'll see. Btw, she's not exactly a young vixen...

Or other round numbers such as 30, 40, 60, 70, 80, etc. It actually feels really good for me. I'm in good (not great) shape, I'm in excellent health, have a wonderful girlfriend, great family; the list goes on and on. Maybe it feels so good because I've lost a few friends in the last few...

I have been through the prop process. Been with Echo and T3. Then went retail, and am now again pursuing prop which requires the 57. The fact that this firm doesn't require a license raises a red flag. It doesn't make sense because they are supposedly based in New York. And there is nothing...

http://affinitytraders.com/simulated-challenge.html Interesting. $495 to get in. $200 reset fee. 250/mo when funded. Also using the Tradezero software. Hmmm... I'm not interested, but I thought others might be. I didn't think there were any equities "combines" out there. But it seems...

As to the career, yes. When in a trade, obviously not.

I am lucky in the respect that I was stubborn and tenacious enough to keep going until I figured it out.
