The problem with calls from anyone, especially TV analysts, is that they never mention when they would get out. This is really where the rubber meets the road. It's fairly easy to pick direction with a decent percentage of correctness, however it's where you get stopped out that separates the good trader from the poor trader.
you guys i'm going threw a dilema 
. i have a powerful setup that works 80% of the time and happens about 3 times a day (usually in the morning). i just can't seem to pull the trigger tho . it happen today and played out in 2 minutes and i could have my 800 dollars . my bare minimum bills is 200 dollars a month. i have serious traders block and i can't shake it. the last time i made money was last week shorting marriot. its good that i haven't lost money but letting oppurtinuties past all the time is killin me . man i'm about to get drunk.

Hmm 80% of time - have you back-tested this??? What was the sample size.
If you are a beginner trader trying futures with bills to pay then i sure hope you got a side job.

If you don't believe in yourself, then none of us may help you. Most of us play with high leverage & all have their own demons, you have to believe in yourself, especially if you say you have an 80% win method (based on backtest). All the best!
