your previous day's gains shouldn't be anywhere near your mind. Read that book we mentioned.

I don't think we are talking about technique or anything like that, rather the mental aspect is familiar. There is no TA in poker, just as there is no bluffing in trading...but its the mental aspect of the games that we think are comparable.

Ahh the frustration. I only took one trade today. It was a loser. Anyways here was my train of thought behind and during the trade: To me the days bias was an up trend. I looked at some longer zoomed out charts and that's what I determined. I saw the one climax at 8:12 (My chart is 2 hours...

I know what you mean. Like I said you could be in an entirely different situation, but in my trading the same thing would happen. I would be down 2.25 points right next to my stop and then it would come back for a profit. If you cut your losses like I do all the time you WILL miss out on some...

haha just me learning.

ahhhhhh I got it. I knew it had to be around there somewhere. Thanks

I'm a newbie too so take this with a large grain of salt. Try not to hit your full stop. I'm sure you had expectations when you entered your trade, it probably didn't take 3.5 points for you to realize you were wrong. Cut your losses when the market is either not proving you right, or definitely...

How can I draw just basic trendlines on a chart in NT? I can see how to add indicators, but is there a tool I can use to connect lows etc?

haha I don't really come on ET to learn, like I said there is other places for that. Not that I don't learn here, just that its more fun to get into random arguments about stupid shit. But it is fun here.

lol well placed jabs, I have to admit. Geeze I make one asshole comment....i dont remember anyone defending me from assholes like the place has turned me into.... by the way, you and I know I could retort, but Ill give you this one haha

"retarted?" haha. ok. For some reason your post reminds me of when I read the comments on youtube videos. Maybe its the 8th grade level writing. As for my name, yea I could have put it to make you "run and hide", or my first name could be Jon and my last name could be "Big" or some variation of...

lol that's what its for. If one wanted to learn about trading..well thats another place.

You can absolutely do it. Just be the best.Period. Not the best teenager, your age doesn't matter. You can do it whether you're 14 or 55 if you have the will.

We do have more time, so in that sense you are right. We have more room for error I guess you could say. Providing you stick with it. Which won't happen if you're, whether you know it or not, expecting some kind of different results or reactions because of your age. This is a lesson that I had...

The curve is a little different than you think it is. There are shit loads of us 18-22 year olds trading. Anyways, my point is the market (and the world) doesn't care what his age is. Even if he does. Age has no impact on RESULTS. And, especially in trading, results are what matters. I know...

Monkey Chatter is a pretty good way to describe it. I was going to type what you typed, but just didn't want to haha.

15 years ago, I was 5. He can take it as me just being an asshole if he wants. Fine with me. I started my first company when I was 18 and I too thought people would woo over the fact that I was 18. Just like he used his age in every post, I would often follow everything with, "but I just turned...

one more thing: don't use the fact that your 18 as a crutch. There aren't any extra points for being young. If you are going to do something and succeed you have to be better than all the other 18 year olds and all the 35 and 65 year olds. Period. Your age doesn't matter, only what you do. Just...

my point was that percentages are arbitrary. example, 15% on 10k and no one is going to care. 15% on $25 million and you will get all kinds of attention.

You really have no idea what you're talking about.
