Quote from tycoonman:

i have been exiting too effing fast and not sticking to my system at all today. And then I go and enter at the wrong time because of it. Horrible day.

-$144.15 for the day.

day means nothing. There will losing ones. Just part of the game Concentrate on weekly or monthly profit. Try using oco or brackets to manage the trade and take the human emotion out of it

ive gotta get to terms with being in the red...u have no idea how bad it messes with me when im in the red. i know my system and calculations are relatively accurate, but when it goes the way wrong it messes with me and i start making trades that are not conducive to the calculations and the system.

and you lost

rub it in big boy.

was down $400 this morning. looking for huge rally starting next week. Long at 65.50; target 90-96 by teus.; calculations says 76.35% chance that it will. And usually when calculation has it about the 75%, I have a 88% win rate. It works for me man. You do what works for u.

I just need to stop being a little bitch when i go red.

up +$2200 for week

Quote from bighog:

i do not keep score with money........ i am past that, its the game, ....

money is my barometer for the game...i keep score with it... i am very competitive.

money means nothing to me either. i don't plan on using my investment money for a long time. paying for grad school with saving i have from prev. job (which is dwindling nevertheless).

Tytcoonman, all kidding aside.

I lately started using OCO stuff like he said to you. It is a crutch we never had long ago, it helps. But we all know toys do not make the man. learning how to trade comes from mistakes, losers all give you information, winners just confirm what you learned from the losers.

Thus, money is not the driver. What was that chess player that wanted more money to play and then later went off the deep end and was dead at 64.??
