Ooops! LOL

Market forces conspiring against the new trader.

:D We appreciate your posts. :)

That's not the way I heard it. I thought you meant you had done so well that you didn't need to trade anymore. "Thats it, I quit...so long ET!" = "That's it, I finally found the Holy Grail and made $5 million. No need to trade again. I can finally quit. So long ET! Thanks so much for all the...

I've been with them a short time and the only issues so far were with Zen-Fire as mentioned. Not sure about the trading desk issues. Hope that won't be a problem obviously. A couple of times in the last few months I lost my internet connection and lost money. But this wasn't related to them but...

Is this the strategy to use on your kids when they make a mistake?

That's funny :) , but no need to punish yourself. The "bad" trades are punishment enough. Don't beat yourself up. We need to learn to be kind towards ourselves and cut ourselves a break. We work hard mostly and do our best. We're only human. Maybe treat yourself to a nice dinner or whatever. We...

Sorry you had such a bad day. We can all relate to that and it sure feels crappy. But as I recover from the bad feelings, and they are (no one is here to lose money which feels bad), I try to look upon the day or "bad" trades as a learning opportunity. Just to analyze what happened and reflect...

Started a new thread on Black Monday here http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=205117

We're interested in people's experiences and recollections of Black Monday - The Crash of '87. Here's a repost of something I just posted in the Hall of Fame thread to get things started. http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-flash08.html?project=CRASH87 :) Click on the...

That's funny. Ha. Life on the Street. No not that "life on the street". :)

I noticed that big hit you took from your posts in the P&L thread. And I couldn't comment on your trades in that thread. Your problem is your strategies are all wrong and you will have more big losing days if you continue to trade that way. And you will blow out your account. You need to learn...

BTW women don't use the expression, "Made me a ton of coin back in the day." :)

Ditto. Maybe we should start a thread for Hall of Fame posts. :)

Hey, Surf. :) How many aliases do you have? LOL. Really. BTW, quoting you, "Back in the early days................" But you just joined ET 2 days ago. LOL. Please spare us. Just shelve it dude. Sheeeesh. :)

Sometimes, as you say, it's just better to bite the bullet and move on. Onward and upward. Kind of like being in a bad trade. You can babysit it and feel lousy the whole time hoping it will come back (the worst sentiment for a trader), or just take your loss and move on to a better trade.

Don't forget our cut on the big trading profits you'll be making. Hey, altruism only goes so far..............................kidding :)

I'm looking at these two. 27" Samsungs. My monitor of choice. They look good for a reasonable price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100006519%2050001077%2040000020%20600030620&IsNodeId=1&name=27%22
