Temper, temper, poor old decrepit has-been. Have I stung you in your big fat loser belly before?Quote from Thunderdog:
You are an unbelievably mindless poseur. Catching the major part of each day's swings? Dream on.

All this other BS aside â You are correct thatâs what weâre all "tying" to do, but itâs not something to design your (a day trader's) methodology around....... â Because how do you know before hand which move will be the day's âmajor swingâ
Answer; You don't , I donât, and no one else does either....
I try to get measured moves, and every so often - by happenstance - end up on the major move⦠But I didnât know it was the major move until it was over Sir
This is where other skills (scaling in, out) will help you stay in the trade longer to see where it wants to go...
But have a trade reverse on you - in a big way - a couple of times and it will teach you real quick not to trust any trend you think exists

Some use the 3 T's, others watch the Baskets, but the more you look at, the more you miss!
What can help greatly, is a nice place for a relaxing drink!
Quote from nysestocks:
I used to think that trading was not gambling, and would argue with anyone who said otherwise!
Then, after losing some money, no matter how hard I tried otherwise, my mind was easily changed for me.
Probable means maybe, maybe means might happen, might happen means not certain, not certain means no guarantee, and no guarantee means a gamble!
You can either accept it, and improve on your trading, as gambling requires a very different approach to wishful thinking, or you can continue to argue and see where it gets you.
If you are happy with where it gets you, then fine, as all will have their own desires to fulfil.
