Hey Spanish, I really hope you succeed in your trading. But I think you have a greater appreciation of how hard it really is.
One thing that will save you some time is to put the haters on ignore. They're really not worth your time. I'm surprised you even put up with them.
I'm no trading master, but from reading your past entries, you need to keep your emotions under control. All the trading masters say this again and again. You might want to read some of the Market Wizards books.
Are you still trading right now?
Aloha and cheers mate..
I do know that my emotions due to my need to earn so much % profit on such little money that i cant afford to lose prevent me form being able to trade anywhere close to my full potential,
since for example i can know where the best entry level would be, but i cant afford to risk 'not getting in sooner' incase the market never reaches that level, since i need money urgently,
so cant afford to have the time to speculate propely,
and as a result i miss alot of money by having too get in too soon and then get out to fast to lock in the profit.
Thats why im gna get a job at a prop firm instead now, so i can start trading propely with decent size capital and as tight stoplosses as i want to use.
(And in regards to all the people who make snide little comments about me daily, i honestly am self-confident enough to be able to just laugh and ignore them all.
But i do really genuinely wish that instead of just always talking the talk about themselves, making critising comments about me when i admit taking closing trades to cut losses, and just filling this site with the same old cliches that are all over the industry buy dont actually mean anything or work in reality...,
I just wish they would start contributing to this thread and saying ''No, Spanish is wrong saying to buy now at this level, you should instead sell at this level, or wait and when it falls 2dollars more then buy at that level...''
Or even before i make my trades and calls if they came on here and say ''Ok ive just bought here, mt stoploss is down there, my targte is there, lets all see how this plays out and if anyone else thinks this looks like a good opportunity and wants to also take it... lol
Since that way they would not only actually be showing that my technical analysis is wrong, and that theirs is correct,
but they would also be contributing to this thread,
instead of just taking it off topic into a bitchyfest,
where its then uncomfortable for some people to post about what they are seeing.
But ive been asking and challenging all those people to do that for many many many months now, on countless occassions,
yet they always find enough excuses to avoid doing that,
or just totally ignore it and pretend they didnt see it!!
So i now dont really have very high expectations that it will be any different this time with them. lol
What markets do you trade mate??
And you do this fulltime?
