Think you need to up your meds Joe.
Any full time day traders out there?

Lol, if you're suggesting that I'm "NoDoji" posting under another name, I'll certainly take it as a compliment: I don't think my time here overlapped with hers (or if it did, not by very much, anyway) but I'm certainly an admirer of the posts of hers that I've encountered.
But - for the record - you're totally wrong: I've never had any membership here other than my current one.
I am, however, increasingly used to being accused of "being other people" in this forum: at least a couple of people have accused me of being Al Brooks (also a compliment, I suppose) and at least a couple of people have accused me of being the owner of TST, as well!
Increasing one's capacity for discernment never ends, it refines with experience.
What was once true at a certain level of awareness might not be true in a different context.
Developing agile deductive thought processes while testing concepts is a way to build on what one has found true.
Revisiting basic assumptions can reveal much when there is confusion.
With all that said, one pov doesn't fit all, except for the most inclusive one.

I know ... I worked it out, when you said yesterday that you'd confused him with someone - suddenly it was obvious that you must have meant her - no problem, anyway! (But out of the two, I know which one's posts I prefer reading, myself!).
I know four forum-chatty and capable futures day traders (retail, very few losing days in a year and +1k/day min) and I recon they post simply to manage stress while in a trade. A distraction to keep their fingers busy and cortisol down while a position works out or not.
I saw this today (just random but maybe some interest) http://www.bbc.com/news/av/science-environment-40700419/how-the-body-responds-to-stress
The guys I know are all over 35. After 10-20+ years we are comfortable with familiar work boredom which is sought out as a comfort to normalise sitting at a computer all day? Successful traders are, it seems, only marginally interested in ideas from others, it is just about some missing social input perhaps.

===Any full time day traders that are interested in connecting. I would like to have someone I can share my trading journey with i.e reflecting on the trading day, successes, failures, motivating each other, sharing ideas etc. I have tried posting before with no luck.
I trade strictly stocks and etfs. If that is what you trade it is even better since we will have something in common to discuss..===
real traders really does not talk about trading - everybody doing what he is doing: end of story
there may be situations when trader comments on something, but that is it - its just the comment, u can get comments here on the forum
in effect you looking for a tutor, and as a guarantee for his qualifications you want him(her) to be a successful trader (just how u will measure his success?)
===Also I am female. I heard we make better traders ===
you do not
but it does not mean that you personally won't succeed
let me tell you something - you do not need nobody, i know you feel that you need but you don't
you (as any trader) are beyond help....
this is an enterprise for the loners, introverts... , if you the one - accept the destiny
if you will continue i guarantee the time will come when you realize that you do not need (and never needed) any help even it was/will be offered, that you do not need to be motivated (it comes from within) , you do not need discussion, sharing, cuddling, mutual reflection or intellectual masturbation and other bullshit, and even if you will find a real guru time will come you will realize that you are uninterested in his/her ideas...
and one more think - fuck the journals, at least the public ones
good luck

With any human endeavor there is benefit when you discuss it with someone. If you don't see any benefit then why are you on this forum?
