Well it's you that's being triggered. How do you expect someone else to figure you out? Ask your self Why? And as long as you are honest with yourself you'll find out what triggers you. What makes it look like it's at the bottom? What makes you think it won't go lower? It's a probability game...

You are a noob. You buy at the wrong time. What is it that specifically triggers you to do that? You have the answer if you look deep enough.

I'd argue that what drives supply and demand is investor perception of the fundamentals. Fundys don't change from day to day, only how investors perceive them. There are good stocks and good companies. There is a difference.

Do you have any method of controlling your risk?

I don't know, All I know is that in my experience sim trades give you better fills than real time cash account fills. Might have something to do with bid ask or the fact that you are not actually participating in the market.

If you had to pick one thing that was most different between sim and cash trading what would it be?

That was my point. Sim fills might not be realistic.

Sim or cash account?

(Grin:) Why did you decide 45 points was too much risk?

WHY?? Why did you take a second look? Why did you move the stop? Why do you think this is a good area? I don't need the answers but you might. Explain it to yourself as you would to a client.

FTFY

From where? 7 digits or is that your long term goal? Especially when you don't compound.

Why is that? There is no reason to be trapped after all it's called position trading which means you can trade positions. Why would you increase your risk per trade? You should plan on risking a certain percent of your capital.

I thought that hedgefund managers underperformed the market. Google the Buffet bet.

No he made the recommendation the day before the big red candle. You just can't trust those charts to do what you want. You have to be a fool to take a recommendation from a Fool
