That was funny

I love how I got stopped out of 10k shares short of this thing today just before that brief 80 cent selloff after the fed announcement. When it popped down to .50s right before the announcement came out, I should've just booked the entire thing and hit the offer before it came back up to...

Enter the trade and deal with your worries about losing. It's all about perception. If you view setups as potential winners as opposed to potential losers I'm sure that you would act on your signal. You must have positive expectancies to trade, otherwise you're going to be 2nd guessing yourself...

There a lot of people that do what you are doing. If you think about it for a little while, you will understand how to profit from those emotions.

I hope so...or rather I hope this market will commit to one direction or something. I guess the trend is DOWN at the moment. Still, even with earnings, the market is incredibly slow. That said, there are still opportunities. I need to do a better job of protecting my profits these days and...

Lol. Dang if you though 09 was a trap, I'd love to see what you would call a great rally.

Haha. I remember day after day hearing the pundits on CNBC in the summer of 2008 say silly things like that. Good luck with that.

Warren Buffet is not a trader. Never has been and never will be. Soros was a trader, but not in the capacity of what many traders are, or ever will be, on this site. We're talking MASSIVE position size in the case of Soros. Also, Soros was a macro trader I believe, so his approach wasn't purely...

Looking forward to it. But I don't see it happening during the summer.

Ironic post. I actually made these last night.

greaaaaaaaaat idea. I should've done this a looooong time ago. This guy crgarcia cannot feel very good about himself to constantly rant about other people's lives.

You're an idiot.

Buffet and Bill Gates movies would definitely be major bores. Steve Jobs would be more interesting, but still boring. Jesse Livermore's life would make a great and interesting movie if done well - excitement, suspense, rags-to-riches, riches-to-rags, love, and sex. What more do you need...

Why are you on elitetrader?

It's very hard. A lot of what you say sounds very familiar. I remember thinking that I had learned the lesson of holding losers too long about 3 years ago when I took my first big loser (at the time I was allowed to trade max size 600 shares) and I got smoked in GPN. I did learn the lesson, but...

That's true. I've heard a lot about that from the older guys. I envy the fact that back in the old days you guys were able to trade before decimalization. Because some trades that guys in my era now get wicked out of, you guys may interpret as normal movement. Plus, you guys got to trade during...

I graduated during the summer of 2006, and became a full-time prop trader in January 2007 after passing the Series 7, 63, & 55 in the fall of 2006. I had a night job for the first 6 months until I became profitable and I've been full-time ever since then through all the ups and downs. So, yes...

I trade equities. I don't trade bonds unless its TLT or TBT. But...how dare that contract not come back to give you a proper exit! The audacity!
