i'm not knocking this web site at all; it's great. i'm just saying that, it still comes down to YOU..it won't matter what books you read or what posts you read on a message board. personally, i love ET.... to answer your question, i would say no. long term financially, it is not better to...

specifically, WHO WOULD YOU BE TALKING ABOUT HERE???!? heheeeeee i'd say, information overload...but then again, if i knew the answer to my problem, i wouldn't be in my position.....so, read my quote below. :D

aphie, thanks for the compliments. i really do think there is hope for you, i really do. however, i didn't think i would lose a lot of money either. after you lose a few multiples of $10k, you might then realize you should stop playing with real money til you know what you're doing. some...

nah.. i won't quit. been at it too long and know too much to give it up. plus, if i were to quit and move on to something else, what's to say i wouldn't just quit when that got hard too? i need to stick at this even if it is difficult. i'm 24, so i have the time to figure this out. as i've said...

lol

who says super_ego didn't provide any useful information? i have been wondering for a while now what SE meant by the above quote...although it is obvious.. THE MARKET IS COUNTING ON THE DUMB MONEY TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

i really do believe the knowledge to trade successfully is already within me. however, after reading 3 years worth of trading information, it becomes hard to decide on something and realize what is important and what isn't.

lol you got that right! i finally realized to put a band-aid on. i generally agree with the rest of your post, however.

the problem with this is that i'm not putting one more real dollar at risk until i know what i'm doing. i've learned some lessons the hard way.

by the way, anyone like my new quote? there's a new sheriff in town. hehehe!!!!!

i'd like to make another point. if the stuff i'm talking about isn't important, why aren't the guys who are making money discussing this all the time? how many threads do you see here dealing with what i'm talking about? it's because the guys that are making money are doing this type of stuff...

quotes from "vulture" "One of the more interesting interviews in Market Wizards(I hate to bring this book up cause it seems really hackneyed), but was the interview with McKay where he said he varied the position size on a scale of 50x...That is where the actual leverage comes into play...No...

if adding to winners is "just another trade," are all these people wrong? why are they doing it??? why would these people and MANY others pyramid their positions if it did not benefit them? darkhorse rtharp commisso secco publias i could go on and on.

just so everyone knows... something i didn't realize at first is the "Show Messages From" selector. in the past i didn't really look at it much and mine has been on "last 10 days." when i put it on "the beginning" i noticed i had a lot more messages than i thought. don't forget the sent...

nice job. :cool:

this is something everyone probably already knows, but i figured i'd just point it out anyway..heh DEATH IS ONLY A BAD THING WHILE YOU'RE ALIVE. while we're alive, we want to keep living and we don't want to die. but once the instant of death occurs, there's no more worrying about it. you...

FP, you have made me laugh throughout this entire thread. thank you HEHEHE!! :D

tntneo, first of all, thank you for your post. you're right that it is frustrating to be in my position. everyone says that the most common trading mistake is being emotional and not stopping the losers. THAT IS NOT MY CASE AT ALL! i could care less about my trades! i am not like that...

my question to you is: have you come to this conclusion WITH or WITHOUT adding to winners in your trading?

lol i know i know! that was meant towards anyone else who reads what i wrote. :) (that wasn't directed at you)
