    Post Your Stats: Risk:Reward Ratio, Win:Loss Ratio, Time in Front of Charts?

    Risk/reward the best, always those rare cases: those events with 1~5% chances on the Bell Curve either this side or another side. that means you need wait there, or before the quote or sift through and fiter out lots of ordinary trades. if I want to nail a 1:10 trade in a week, then I must...

    Passing up successful trades

    $300/day? that is a rule? treat trading like a regular job, come on. better find a regular job and forget about trading. lots of ordinary jobs can privide this number, plus with benefits such as healthcare insurance, 401k match, sick days,personal days.... often I laugh, when I see...

    Passing up successful trades

    mindset is not the key. only losers try to dig and figure out they are losing because they think they are mentally not tough enough. the truth is most people spend less time on understanding the markets and themselves. the market sometimes trend, sometimes not, its baehavior is not...

    Passing up successful trades

    since I know how to trade, and I am doing it successfully, in a winners' eye, I can easily see how a loser loses. they analysize, they generalize their experience (this creates fear, one time fail, they will not try next time, the lesson told them how to avoid the similar sitaution ), they...

    Passing up successful trades

    the worst book I ever read. that guy failed in trading, and make money by writing books. most failed traders end up in trading tutorials, writing books to earn a dime.shame shame! real profitable traders do not write books. Fear is because you do not have deep understanding of the...

    Passing up successful trades

    Happened to me lots of time. my way to get over it is: detach myself from my emotion with any symbol, setup, trading idea, trades. I think the bad trade is an indicator. Normally I will turn my view upsidedown, and reverse it. if I saw my trade red, first I will think the market is right and...

    AAPL: Buying the Dips!

    best week on AAPL, enjoy this drop. after I studied NFLX from 300 to 100 under, I realized AAPL is the best short sale candidate. William o'Neil's idea is great. those stars in the bull market are stars in teh bear marklet too, just do the opposite way. I did not see AAPL will stop...

    I want to buy some option data to do research

    option data is useless and harmful. only idiiots want to pay mony to buy and study. trading ideas on options are created from the underlyings.

    All I Do is Lose Money

    when I lose, most is caused by my fear and my un-disciplined bahvior. my mindset will be to seek certainity, I see a rally, I may sit there, wait and wait, wait too long, see the obvious trend or rally, then jump in. I see a drop, I may sit there too long, wait and wait, wait too long...

    AAPL: Buying the Dips!

    still buying this out of favor APLE? bought some put 590, 590 is the resistance, it will go down to 575. if that breaks, we will see 530 maybe this week or next week. normally a temp bottom is a sharp drop, then retrace. aapl did not have this pattern yet. I anticipate it drop through 575...

    some pepole act like a three year old if those guys who have lots of stocks and value it, they will not sell. if you think FB will be around 50 bucks next couple years while it is at 21, if I were them, I will not sell, I will buy more. the lock-up doenot really mean anything. all...

    AAPL: Buying the Dips!

    those guys are just post writers. when they trade, they are chicks. right is right, wrong is wrong. there is no middle ground. if just a 50k account, all in is the best strategy. there is no sense to do 1/3, I agree. since I climb up from 4k, use this strategy. of course when your...

    AAPL: Buying the Dips!

    AAPL is in down trend, and those guys just keep thinking it will go up trend, just little pullback. AAPL leads its way up in the past, it will lead its way down. in reality it is, it drops first, then others follow. any pop is a sell opportunity. 705 will never be toched again. I am...

    Overnight Strategy for surprise events (ER's etc.)

    most mine options are overnight even days. I do not think yours are called startegy, elementary grade 3 math will not work. trading needs phililosophy, mind. the nerve to execute an idea, follow the plan.not math.

    Secrets of Market Wizards

    Jesse Livermore is my model. I always think he is the greatest trader ever. his final failure is he is not displinced enough to cut loss in a losing trade. another thing is he is not good at money managemnet. he did not have a good master of at each stage of wealth, how to keep growing and...
