Going to get out of accumulated longs. Running into pretty good resistance, 1364 (+3 pts).

Wasn't home for this trade, but would have added to long @ 1365.25 SL 1362.5

No need to fear size when you are playing a game that works like this: -You don't know if a trade is going to win or lose. -You do know over the last 20 trades you have made money. (If you didn't make money on the past 20 trades, I'd fear trading 1 lots - I went back to paper trading...

I'm pretty sure it's more than half... what's the difference between a winning and losing trader? It's what they are able to see, their perception, their mental strength, their belief systems or what their mind is blind to.

Yep, thanks. I'll req fixes on those... Add to long @ 1362, SL 1359.

Trading has similarites to everything: You J-walk.... you're gambling You eat raw fish... you're gambling You get married... you're gambling You get the point.

Don't think his past success was luck. He had something that tilted trades in his favor in some way. I think he's just stuck on thinking that this edge didn't go away. It's failure to adapt rather than just being lucky. Anyone know anything about his trading method? I feel that if you can...

Possible short from 1373 last night, SL 1374. Couldn't take the sim trade as I was asleep! Might not have been comfortable taking this as we were approaching major support. Trend from last swing high was bearish. Trailing SL would be adjusted to 1363/4 currently.

SL 1371.5 (-1.25 pts)

Long 1372.75

Ok, so I don't think you quite understand his main ideas. Obviously there is more to trading than having an "I can do it" attitude. He emphasizes the need for an edge just as much as he emphasizes the need for a winning attitude. That's what professional gambling/trading is all about. It's...

Not to mention you must have a price trend to make any money... If you are comfortable attempting to catch bottoms by all means.... hedge with options and don't expect a high winning trade percentage. Not sure about everything being repeated 100%. I guess it depends on what you are...

I can't think of anything better to do than watch two dicks slap against each other. Alright, back to the underground... :cool:

Very open mind you have. Never said TF is/was/willeverbe dead. Well, of course an uknown online alias won't change your mind, but maybe time and less money will... That's usually what does it for most people. GL

It's a great falacy to think that a gigantic sample size will make your system more robust. I think this will actually make your real time results worse, because your system is more fit to the past, even though it's the only reliable guide to the future. Remember, there are many paradoxes in...

So if the S&P returns -30%, you will be successful returning -29.8%? -_-' Your definition of success is a frosty engine.

Ok, took me a few attempts to read what you wrote nkhoi. Thanks for the input. I just finished Trading in the Zone by M. Douglas. I don't think I have ever read anything that I felt so in tune with. I'm a RN, so psychology is no stranger to me. We have to learn it partially at least as...
