If you guys can trade actively and not lose it on occassion you're a better man than me.

Try being in a stock and have someone buffoon cross it 10 cents beyond your stop. See how you react, "oh fiddle sticks" doesn't cut it for me. My language would curl your hair. :D :D :D
 
Hell yeah! Calculators, cell phones, pencil holders, staplers...whatever I can get my hands on is gonna fly across the room. But I have a rule, if it's connected to something, I won't throw it. Cordless phones are my favorite, they explode into a million pieces if you throw'em against a concrete wall.

Then I go home and kick the dog. He's a little guy so you should see him get air.

it takes a big man to kick a little dog.thats something to be proud of. if you had kids i wonder what lifes lessons they could learn from your behavior.

That's nothing. You should see what I do to my kids, the horror! And their pet iguana, Stanley, somehow came up missing the other day. Little Johnny was so sad. But hey life is hard right?
 
yeah...

every now and then it's...son of a bitch how can you be so fuckin' stupid...

then i calm down and jump back in...

only takes a little while...
 
screaming at the computer is nothing, imagine being a trader in japan..."YOU HAVE DISHONOURED YOURSELF BY BEING A TOTAL F...ING LOSER TODAY, NOW GO AND HARAKIRI YOURSELF!"

P.S. No disrespect intended, just a joke.
 
Quote from cashmoney69:

If you truly love trading, then you'll love your losses....or at least try to understand why you lost and improve for next time. And no, I dont scream and yell.

While I agree that learning from your losers is important....loving your losses sounds like new age bullshit to me.
 
I frankly like to see losses when I'm testing a new strategy. Since everything in this world is fallable, losses tell me that my strategy is in-line with reality and true market dynamics... similar in nature to taking into account slippage.
