dude, thank you. i feel like you understand me. :)

for the record, i did not start this thread. the first post was just a response in the other thread..but now it has its own thread. :confused:

hehe probably. by the way, by scaling i also meant adding to winners. i didn't really phrase my question correctly. anyway, if 70% of profitable traders do, and i never did once for 3 years and i don't make money....maybe it's something i should consider? would you agree?

i agree. i was just in a bad mood when i wrote that. hehe don't mind me... :)

more often than not, do you in some way scale in/out of a position?

more often than not, do you in some way scale in/out of a position?

tell me you didn't just say that.

don, first of all, thanks for giving me some tips. i know some people here like to give you a hard time, but i consider you to have a lot of trading wisdom. as for your business, a business tries to make money. i don't know why people complain that you run a business. this is america. they'd...

i'm very aware this has been my weakness. the 3 years i traded, i never once scaled in/out of a position..not one trade. if i entered a trade with 500 shares, i would exit with all 500. now, i know some will say you can still trade profitably that way, but imo you have more options if you scale...

i don't mean to give you heat. i realize nobody here owes me anything. i take what i get. if you think i'm giving you heat, it's only because imo, it's easy to be a profitable trader and say it's simple once you know what to do. but when you're on the other side, it's frustrating. especially...

well, thanks for the response.. but actually, i've read all the books AND i've been real trading for 3 years. however, after i lost more than i thought i would, i stopped. if i lost a lot of money trading for 3 years, why would i just continue doing the same thing? obviously, i need to stop and...

high five!

where are the statistics on that? i don't care about some loser in prison. and who cares if they do anyways. they have nothing to lose, why not give it a shot? maybe if i was on death row i'd say a prayer too for the hell of it. it wouldn't mean i necessarily believe in praying. i haven't...

for the record, i am not someone who thinks they're going to make 80000% in 6 months. if i could make a decent return, let my money grow...and improve as a trader throughout my life, i'd be happy. right now, i am one confused individual. i know so much, i don't know where to start. i know...

if that's what you believe, fine. if you think religion is great, fine. but there are people in this world that don't need that nonsense. i'm one.

i gotta say, i hate this thread. i don't think there's one thing i've read here that i can actually use to make money. if you think i'm wrong, go find someone who's never traded before, make them read this thread...and then see how they do trading. it won't help at all. YOU NEED A POSITIVE...

how many times have we heard something like: keep it simple it can be as simple or as complicated as you make it just look at this post by j_commisso: what THE HELL is anyone supposed to do with that?!?! i'll take that stuff and file it away in the endless, "sounds nice, but have...

rs7, what do you trade?

the religious people here have been...

the bottom line is........... RELIGION SUCKS, SCIENCE RULES!!!!!
