    Didn't trade today either. Obviously I need to work harder on developing a detailed plan with rules etc. Paper trading has been fun and I've learned a lot of lessons already, but I could be putting the information to better use by using it to trying to define a set of rules etc. From now on I...

    Why do you care so much about having an "edge?

    One more thing: Ask yourself this. On Monday take your exact strategy and setup, but instead of trading your usual amount imagine you have $10 million on it. Do you act differently? Does it affect you? Think about it honestly. Does it affect you? If so I submit to you that there is mental...

    Why do you care so much about having an "edge?

    I don't know anything about the guy, but I bet he didn't walk into Enron and they said "Oh here's 500 million dollars"... he started somewhere, just like us.

    Why does no one here give detailed trading advice?

    Because if they are successful they are among a very few and basically ARENT HERE. would you be here if you were making millions? no. neither are they. do your work, there are no shortcuts.

    Why do you care so much about having an "edge?

    I didn't take the quotes from above out of some random chapter in the middle of the book, but directly from the beginning section entitled "Why I Wrote this Book". In that section he says "There must be a difference between these two groups of traders (he's referring to the 95% that blow their...
