If you want to improve your trading I'd suggest you write one. There you go, if you had a plan you wouldn't be worrying about what anyone says you would be paying attention to what the market is telling you. Here is the thing with writing shit down; you are more likely to do it if you put it...

It's nice to have half your problems solved, on the downside the rest is your responsibility. It's good to see that the money isn't important. It seems that discipline might be. Do you have a written trading plan.

For the first 2 weeks, $ 10000 invested/gambled; $2500 in each security If you had opened and closed positions at the closing price. No commissions paid You would be up $230. You'll have to run the test a little while longer to get more accurate results. There could be some blind luck...

What steps did you take to learn the business? Could those steps be repeated? Especially if an experienced trader was showing you how. Yup; I'm trying to get you to contradict yourself. :)

How long you going to wait if the stock doesn't move or worse yet goes down. If price drops your holding dead money. I don't know what the future holds but as a stok investor I don't like holding dead money. My rule is not to have any losing positions in my portfolio.

No that person doesn't have to be there all the time. If you have a friend, girlfriend or an anonymous poster on an internet forum and you tell them that you are going to do something, there is a strong probability that you will do it. If you review your trades with someone there is a strong...

That's what I'm talking about. You shouldn't have porn streaming on one of your trading monitors.
