OMG WTF this thread is so depressing. It isn't the stories of losses that are depressing, it is the failure of people to stop trading if they are losing money. This is no different than running any other business. If you are losing money, you stop what you are doing and rewire your...

It is unfortunate that you have moved from sharing your experiences to making assumptions about what others are doing, or have done, or should do. Your experience is yours alone. It doesn't qualify you to trash the benefits of intraday trading for those who work in that environment. You...

The initial stupidity that you may fall into is listening to any advice on this thread. Every so often a thread pops up that collects so much garbage 'advice' that it is an embarassment to the site. This is one of them.

Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has surrounded himself with yes/men and yes/women his entire career. He is a pampered bully who can't standing having his crap thrown back in his face. I was hoping that he would declare, just to see him further humiliated.

Both. Daily creates a list of opportunities. Intraday identifies entry points.

Unfortunately for America, that has become true.

+1 Yes, not having a boss. Also: +2: Not having a client or customer +3: Not having to commute @ $4/gal +4: Not having to travel for business (thank God!) +5: Not having to sing happy birthday every month to staff +6: Not having to expose yourself to disease each day +7: Not...

+1 I strongly suggest that you spend your time and money developing a second skill set. You may need it or want it for the future. A strong bull market like we've experienced always seem to bring out new traders who think they've mastered the markets. When all they've done is ridden the...

If your results for the past few months have been mainly from the long side, you are in great danger of confusing brains with a bull market. So toss those results aside as atypical of what you will face as a full time trader. Your concerns about boredom and jumping into trades that aren't...

At which point the carrier went full reverse engines and finished the job right.

Put up a candle chart of any symbol that you trade in a daily timeframe. Look inside the bar and ask yourself it your entry would have been better if done during the daily market action. If the answer is yes - and in most cases it will be - then you know the value of monitoring intraday...

An excellent post. I applaud you for this.

I would think that as a "Moderator" with over 13,000 posts you would know by now that this thread belongs in Journals.

You'd be foolish to dump your current career path until you've exhausted all avenues for educating yourself on trading while you're working. You may not like what you're into right now, but even your worst day at present is nothing compared to losing your savings when you enter the market...

InvestorRT at www.linnsoft.com is excellent at backtesting strategies with multiple symbols, multiple timeframes. I will often backtest a portolio of hundreds of equity symbols, referencing data of other market measures such as VIX, etc. in multiple timeframes. Their coding language is easy...

A formula (trading rule) can't be trademarked or copyrighted. What you need to be concerned with is directly reproducing text from another source without crediting the author. So if in doubt, give credit and you won't be at risk. If it is your intention to charge money for your blog...

We had a budget surplus under democrat Clinton. Republican Bush ballooned government spending at all levels. Your generalizations are 50 years out of date.

Oh, God no! The screeching Maria! Can you imagine living with that voice? The military needs to record her and play it back over their sound cannons. We'd never have another enemy come near us. "Commander, they have...they have...the...MARIA!!!" "IT'S FOUR O'CLOCK! DO YOU...

Call your local police chief and complain. Ask why tickets aren't being written. There are laws on the books for sound levels, but unless the cops are asked to monitor, they won't. My local chief said that he'd start putting the word out, and it seems to have helped in my area. It...

I've smoked pot in the city, and I've smoked pot in the country. And it all seems, well, pretty much the same to me. :cool:
