Good Morning rb7, I agree with you on this part. I have no issues with trading demo, only the mental part is an issue.

Good Morning Lexi_L, Great job. Good to see your trading doing well. Thank you

Good Morning Lexi_L, Took about 4 years to go from demo to real money. What I learned was, there is no RESET button in Live real money trading, so I better pay attention trade wisely and know what I am doing and what it is I want for my trading effort day to day or week to week.

Good Morning Frederick Foresight, If I worked on wall street and someone told me an Edge to make millions, I will take the edge and make millions. I hope you would too. Everybody is greedy when it comes to food and money. We all want more and more food and more more money. It's life. Rather...

Good Morning Ninja Mobile Trader, I have thought about trading some EURUSD with an algo as that market stays open 24 hours a day, so I can keep positions open for weeks or even months. Question: 1. I am NT8 owner, and I run intraday algos on futures market. My trades are closed by end of the...

Good Morning deaddog, I always appreciate and admire your experienced advice. Especially with having a trading plan.

Hello deaddog, I agree with you 1000% on this. It is really great advice actual. Its not about the winning, its about the losing. I personally do not care much about the winning side of the trading. I only care about reducing the losses and not doing things that causes big losses. Really...

Hello deaddog, Doesn't matter who suffers, big losses leads to losing money and living in drawdown and being an loser trader overall and poor if trader can not making a living doing other things for money. My thinking and writing is only my opinion. LOL, had to write the disclaimer for the...

Hello Laissez Faire, This is another BEST post on ET Forum website of the year to me or in my opinion. Really great post. Very good. The cold hard facts is, a trader can work extremely hard and still not reach trading success or make any money worth while in the next X-XX years and have to be...

Hello p0box4, Thank you for showing me this. My fault on how I worded that. I corrected my statement below. Thank you, https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/why-we-lose-money.375548/page-4#post-5843008 In addition, I ask to moderate to delete the post. It is causing far too much debate and...

Correction for all readers of this post. I am Sorry, I should have pointed out in context for how I trade, not everyone else or in general traders. I ask the moderator to delete that post. Thank you,

Hello HuntingBenjamins, You have asked a very a good question. I would say for myself: 1. Do not let losses get too big in one day that I am unable to recover in the next X days. I use to let me losses get so big in one day, that it became unmotivating to recover it. But I did not realize...

Good Morning FTDK, Why debate, just congratulate. If you stated to me you wanted 2% ROI, I would just tell you, "Hey man, I hope you get your 2% ROI, go for it" Do not debate it, congratulate it. And again, what does my trading stats do for you? Is it going to put money in your pocket...

Good Morning Overnight, You are incorrect. I corrected you in red That is my goals, it does not have to be any other trader goals. I personally feel that every trader should and need their own goal and evaluate if their own goal is what is successful to them. That goal can be 5% ROI a year or...
