Yes -- read the book. Was required reading for my behavioral finance class a number of years ago.

I think it depends on your holding period / strategy. If you're just trading, especially day-trading, the volatility makes for incredible opportunities and major profits if you're on the right side. You have to pick you spots but I tend to trade high volatility markets better. And even if you...

But you also have to consider that while 9:30 is the open for the stock market, the futures markets are trading on a different schedule so I'm not sure that a 9:30 bar for futures charts is as valuable as you might think.

What platform do you use? Anyone know how do you change the starting time on ThinkOrSwim or TradeStation?

Which platform are you using? I know that the starting time on the 4 hour chart is different for ThinkorSwim vs. TradeStation.

So to support Andrea's position on this, if you read a lot of material on peak performance and elite mindsets, you'll find that the top performers don't beat themselves up. They reinforce what they did well and then just say "that needs some work" or "I'll fix that" to the stuff they didn't do...

Just a few possible suggestions: 1) Elite performers don't beat themselves up for their mistakes. They reinforce what they did right and just observe what needs work. It took me years to understand this concept. I either win or I learn. 2) What actually is your analysis? What gets you in...

And the rules that Jesse would tell you now: 1) Remember and re-read all the rules daily; 2) Never take positions so large that they will take you out of the game; and 3) Protect your mental capital as much as you protect your financial capital.

Well, I haven't followed your market calls! Just some of your other opinions. ;)

For once I actually agree with one your posts! I don't mean that in a mean way. :D But I do agree with you here!
