    Dr. Kenneth Reid has prostate cancer

    Thank you LL! I've been going through all the growth pains all y'all warned me about when I started last year. I will update my progress when I think I've reached consistency. I presently forecast that will happen within the next four weeks. We'll see.

    Dr. Kenneth Reid has prostate cancer

    Here's his site https://www.daytradingpsychology.com/ You can get a better explanation of his service directly than through me. Best wishes. I am sad he's sick and less able to provide services.

    Dr. Kenneth Reid has prostate cancer

    I subscribed to his series of videos in January. The mental exercises (if I may call them that) helped me improve my trading results significantly. Then a scheduled video did not arrive. I did not get a response to support contact inquiries. After I called and spoke briefly with him, I...

    Ready or not, I went live 7/27

    traider, I understand what you mean and don't disagree. The quote from my wife does not convey her whole stance regarding trading. This will be a learning process for her, too. Bringing her along is part of the whole challenge. She is quite wise. We are good partners. If I can succeed...

    Ready or not, I went live 7/27

    Thanks to everyone who posted in the thread "Am I ready to go live?"! Having gotten good funds in my real trading account, I went live 7/27. As anticipated by many, it was not an auspicious start. 7/27 I woke up late, slightly hungover, and did not read my affirmations before starting to...

    Sim VS. Real Money trading

    tell her. she knows my plan, and my risk management, cash management. As long as I'm following through, we'll both be fine. We've set a maximum loss to stop trading, too.

    Sim VS. Real Money trading

    Just regarding your 1st paragraph, volpri, just FYI, I have been trading 3 and 4 contract lots using limit orders for entry, and for exit most times, on a Trade Station sim account (using tick charts) all this month [to be specific, exactly 237 trades]. The sim appears very realistic compared...

    Am I ready to go live?

    comagnum, you may have gotten a mistaken impression. I'm not using a system to place trades. I have not back-tested anything. I don't know how to back test the discretionary sim account trading I've been doing. I do understand the "bid/asked spread" to which you refer. I've been using...

    Am I ready to go live?

    Gotcha, I am trying to "sim" in my mind as much as I can. Rarely do I find myself telling myself, "It's only sim." Trading 3 contracts in sim has been good psychologically as well as technically. It's good to go thru sim reps of good trades/profits as well as bad/losses. I'm not scaling in...

    Am I ready to go live?

    Thanks for the comments! I had one day in mid-June where I kept on trading when I should have just stopped. I lost, I think, 13 points. Reflected on that day and basically reminded myself to let the market tell me when to place trades & not the other way around. Also, that I should never...

    Am I ready to go live?

    Hello Nakachalet, I've been doing well. Fortunately, I am not in any of the groups in the video. BTW, you did not respond to my reply earlier in this thread for screenshots of my trades, etc. Anyway, I will post some updates here for y'all's comments: I am happy to report I have been...
