I would trade my ID for an audited P&L. I couldn't make the US citizen requirement as I live north of the 49th. But I would have no problem signing a non disclosure agreement. As it is they only ask for real money. It's up to each individual to decide for themselves what value these trading...

When I was battling cancer I had a naturopath prescribe melatonin to lessen the side effects of the radiation treatment. Dosage recommended was to keep increasing the dosage until the nightmares go too bad. I was up to 7 or 8 10mg tablets a night.

If you are charging me to be in your room I don't think it would be unreasonable to ask you to trade real money. Set up an account for the calls you make in the room. See if the fills are the same as on the sim.

My new toy is a watch that measures what kind of sleep I get. Deep sleep, light sleep, REM and awake. I average 7hrs 56 minutes a night 11 minutes deep 2 hr 2 min REM 5 hr 43 min Light 22 min awake (us old guys gotta pee) Thought I'd try Melatonin (10mg) to see if I could improve Deep Sleep...

"Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it." Will Rogers

Works both ways; It also minimizes profits.

Don't read WSJ so you'll have to quote the piece.

Why? Looks like a possible short to me but so did AIMT.:)

I'm sorry but I'm colour blind. I can't see red. But I see the answers. Almost like having a written plan. I would guess most educators will suggest you have a written plan. You are more likely to do something you have written down. Although most of the time the problem is the trader, not the plan.

Entry and exits are only part of the plan. What do you do if you lose power, your computer crashes, or your broker goes off line? How do you determine your position size? When do you stop trading? How do you determine who is responsible when you are losing. Fail to plan; plan to fail.

"Diversifying over a large number of stocks doesn't mitigate risk. In a bear market all stocks fall. The best way to control risk is to have a method of getting out of stocks in a down market." Darvas Look at 2008; diversification didn't help, every thing collapsed.

I'll bet most couldn't trade a strategy if you gave them one. They wouldn't trust it and as soon as they experience a loss they begin to doubt and tweak it.

Is that real money or sim dollars?

Stocks: Buy new highs. Don't hold a losing stock in your portfolio.

Nope I can't show you any of that. I just bought up the name because she was featured in one of the market wizards books so I assume Schwager did his due diligence and I know she is a vendor.

For the most part the problem is the trader not the strategy.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned Linda Bradford Raschke as a legitimate educator and successful trader.

The question to ask would be did you achieve the goals you set for yourself? If you managed to do that then you succeeded. If your goal is to only lose half your money and you break even that would make you a success in your eyes. And really on an anonymous internet forum who knows or cares?

I think you are doing it backwards. Start with swing trading until you make enough to day trade. My experience and mine only, is that futures are tougher to trade than stocks and swing trading is easier than day trading.
