This thread is moving so fast I want to make sure you saw this stupid question.

Or was your silence my answer? It is so lonely being the only stupid guy on ET!

Duref,

Sorry I missed that.

I don't think about the so called big boys or the other traders or the pit or GS, ML, etc.

Basically, I look at the chart, think of the market as a complex video game and everyday I hope for the best and try to beat the high score.

No really, that's the approach I take, the fundamentals do not matter to me.

Anek,
I am very interested in how you got started in trading full time. I can tell you that you are not the guy that would put you whole family in jeopardy.

That's actually my biggest problem now. I strongly believe that I can make it in trading, but nothing is 100% in the world. I have a family with a young daughter, I have a decent job. I am not going to quit my job unless I am 100% convinced that I can make it. However, the problem is that it seems I am only good at intraday trading(paper tradng). Swing trading is just not for me(or probably I haven't found the key yet).

What can I do?

That's a tough one, definitely don't quit your day job unless you are 100% certain you have an edge.

This takes a LOT of screen time, from what I can tell, you lack that.

On top of that, you lack cash trading experience, and that's another imperative requirement for the psych.

Can you trade from work ? If not, it looks like swing trading is the way to go for you.

Duref,

Taking some time off for a home project, between trading and wife breaking my balls I finally decided to start it.

Should be a few days :)

Thanks,
Anek
 
"think of the market as a complex video game"

I like that! Perhaps we can explore it further later.

Thanks for your participation in the thread! Obviously many people on ET were interested in learning more about you. Have a great week.

And thanks to readers for so many good questions and for your courtesy.
 
Next you should interview the latest trading phenomonen, Bullz and Bear. I have a feeling he would be willing. Seriously, these interviews are interesting. Keep it up.
 
Thank you for the kind words, GaryN. A megalomaniac needs only a little positive feedback to fantasize that the whole world loves him.

Not sure which "Bullz and Bear" you refer to (get your shit straight!). If it is Bullz n Bears you mean, no thanks. I don't need two assholes in my threads.

You would think that ETer's would leap at the opportunity to be interviewed, but no, my rejections run two-to-one.

But I think I have a controversial interviewee lined up for you next. We'll see if he assepts.

LOL - this is way more detail than i want or need on that particular question...

Keep up the great work Anek - you're journal is the cat's arse. Thank you for shining the light.

cheers

Breaking news! An ET poster who generates lots of discussion has agreed to an interview starting after the close Friday. I have high hopes that it will be interesting and informative, possibly controversial.

I am receiving interview suggestions by PM. Please in future send them to my privates secretary, Hypostomus. He handles all my correspondence and cuts my lawn in exchange for trading therapy.
