The process really started for me when I noticed the phrase "damaged trader." I finally decided that, OK, I want to get better as a trader, and I could go there. So I put that hat on and sat with it. I told a friend who posts on ET that I was taking this in, an he said 'whoa!'... like don't...

Your point is well taken. I have tried various things in the past, but price action has always seemed a better fit for me and I've been more and more aiming at it. db's communicated it in a way that makes more sense than before... at least to me. I just may do it to the exclusion of all else...

I need to learn, that's for sure. You say that you studied a lot. I took classes, and still sit in on a weekly 'traders lab'. If the classes were great or not I don't know. I think they were competent for what they teach... which is a pile of indicators. Stochastics and tick charts and...

after sleeping on it, perhaps in addition to any muddled thoughts, I found posting charts or even just entries and targets a distraction, and I didn't trade as well. But you are talking about something else... posting your thoughts before the open... and after trading... posting what you did...

You mean publicly post? Yipe! My thinking is at times embarrassingly muddled.

My family owned rentals... I grew up with that. One key is to build/buy them with your own money, so you are not required to met quotas, etc. Another is to live on the property and watch it, and they know you watch it! Another is to not use leases. That gives all the legal power to...

is this the same or different than Line of least resistance? Those concepts might be confused?

Is the opposite of fear.... intuition? Or 'intuitive - ish'? Have to think about that one. I do know that I have a different 'story' running thru my head as I trade. One more aware of behaviors than my prior stories focused on setups and rules. edit: Less fear for sure frees you...

Damok and Jalad. At Tanagra. Picard and Dathaon at El-Adrel. dbPhoenix and.... (Hootie, for one) at EliteTrader. Sometimes you just hear it one more time in one more way and there is almost an audible 'click' as everything connects differently.

IMO the issue Obama could/should address is…. Do the decedents of slaves have any special treatment coming to them? Are they still owed and apology? Are they owed reparations for the forced labor of their ancestors? Or are reparations done… If Obama would clear that up, or nail down...

here! ...and I'm sure not the only one. Taking time to anticipate what you are going to say, to see if I'm "getting the POV" You still surprise me, but that's good... aha's. Thanks

Dbphoenix, Just hearing it the way you say things, Has made a difference in my trading. Thank you.

How do you apply yourself? My trading improved when I was willing to think of it as a job. When I've worked for others, I am expected to show up and stick with it. Do whatever the job requires. Not go to the fridge inumerable times. Or other diversions, which exist beyond count...

Robert J Rowan MD is an alternative medical guy. If you've tried the mainstream and not had success... or need something that might not be so expensive... below is an artical he recently wrote. I've worked in health care also, and mainstream medicine is mainstream for a reason. By all...

guess that last line should be she came back.... or she'd come back....?

There once was a trader so bright Who scalped much faster than light. She won large one day, In a relative way, For she’d came back the previous night.

I had a time also when I thought losing was just to be expected, part of the price you paid to learn. Then NoD started talking about having losing trades but... when she followed her rules... which you might call reviewing your trades (before you place them!)... she said she basically had no...

All Right! and glad to see you post again.

You say you like your current office job, the people, etc. The first successful trader I met [once I had a little experience trading and actually knew what he was talking about] was a guy who traded 2 - 3 contracts. Mostly while he was brushing his teeth, etc., in the AM getting ready for...

Johnny Rocket might claim he was trading 'with trend' and everything. Bought the dip. Julie Woolie there was trading countertrend! No fair! Where is my super ball!
