But that is the best way to make money, when you're not needy!

Been day trading seriously for nearly a week now. My energy is zapped d/t the need to continuously monitor the stock price, plus my heart is beating like crazy hoping my trade doesn't kill me financially...
 
cool man, that s the real living, u ll get use to it !

even after 15 years, you ll get stressed of holding any big position

wait for one real volatile day to know if ur up to it !

And this is occurring because...

A)...you're trading without protective stops and/or averaging down?

B)...you can't bear to take a loss until a huge chunk of your account is wiped out?

C) ...you're leveraged to the max and if your stop loss is triggered, the slippage alone could wipe out a huge chunk of your account?

:eek:
 
I used to find it exhausting in this market, then i found a butter knife and I pried the F1-F6 keys out of my keyboard, (those were my sell keys) It seems to be much less of a struggle now. :D

A. I use mental stops.

B. Even the sight of a $50 paper loss will cause me panic.

C. I don't (intend to) use margin.

Maybe it's the fear of a sudden sharp spike in the opposite direction of my trade. Or, maybe that's how the stock manipulator wants me to feel during a shakeout.

No, but i find longer term trading tiring and not beneficial to my life.
You have to find the form of trading best suited to your make up/psychology.
