I know very little about risk-reward ratios. Can anyone suggest material to learn more about the subject and it's applications? I've read the following: Alexander Elder: Come Into My Trading Room Donald Cassidy: It's When You Sell That Counts Steve Nison: Japanese Candlesticks None of...

If you ever consider a position outside of trading I think you would do real well as a fiction/non-fiction writer. You certainly got me and a lot of other folks plugged in and know how to tell a story. As Mark Twain said: "Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense"...

I'm following several stocks that have been trending up on weeklies: BA (Boeing), FON (Sprint) and so forth. If a stock that has been on an upward trend fails to go down in price when the market goes down as much as it did today, is that considered a buy signal? Would like to read some...

Also a newbie. I really enjoyed Dr. Elder's book. The study guide was very useful. I also found that as I read it a second and third time it was increasingly more meaningful. Now I'm working on Steve Nison's book on candlesticks. It's really useful. I know that Elder says that candlesticks and...

[ i'm just posting my current situation and it sucks. [/B] This morning I was reading Anthony Di Mello, "The Way To Love". He had this to say on being miserable: "Recall the kind of feeling you have when someone praises you, when you're approved, accepted, applauded. Contrast with the...

Thank you. Glad to hear all the different thoughts on volume. I really appreciate the quality of the material. Jorge

I have read several scattered posts on the use of volume as an indicator of price movement. Some pro and some con. I would like to see some discussion on this issue. As for me, I only trade from the long side and I believe it can be a very useful mechanism for confirming a trend. Specifically...

Thanks for the info. I like to think that if I stick to this long enough I'll eventually succeed and I appreciate hearing otherwise. How long did it take you to know that this was for you and that you could make a living at it? TY Jorge

Nice post Lundy. I like Harry 123's approach. When I read GG's posts I don't get a clear sense of External vs. Internal Locus of control. Are my outcomes due to problems with me or problems with circumstances? If I conclude that the main problem is circumstancial I have no potential for...

When I began trading in February I immediately found myself getting plugged in to the five basic emotions: fear, shame, sadness, anger, and happiness to the point where my decision making became emotionally dependent. As I would observe events taking place my behaviors became increasingly...

Quote from bladerunner: don't be a trader be productive with your life be a nurse make a difference have a legacy on your gravestone I have been a social worker for 20 years and I love my profession. However, the restrictions are stiffling. One of my goals is to be able to earn...

Again, thanks for the info. I'm pretty much doing what you recommend and the small trades and tight money management have been the keys to be able to remain in the process. It's a whole new world for me and I really enjoy all the searching and learning. Just one note, when you first start, the...

Thanks for the wisdom. As a new trader I vouch for all the chasing and lack of patience. In addition, I find myself having having difficulty sticking to any one system. I started in February and I have come a long way in dealing with these issues. With experience they are more controllable but...

LOL!

I'm one of those newbie psychotherapists wanna be traders. For what it's worth In my profession I did a lot of anger work both personally and with clients. I found that a thick auto heater rubber hose (made by goodyear) slammed on the floor is a great release of anger. It made a very satisfying...

Love your metaphor. Very on the money. Jorge
