Your BF Innervoice was crying about Blackstone the other day. What’s with you weirdo’s always riding bareback on each other’s threads. Don’t you see enough of each other @ home.

This excuse I have difficulty with it sometimes still today. I actually used the phrase "These punks stopped me out" as if I know exactly who they are (I don't).

I think I give them the derogatory name "punks" as if they have an identity of doing something wrong...something wrong to me as if I was targeted. :D

It's my excuse when in reality, someone on the other side of my trade does not know who I am. In fact, it's a very good chance "those punks" is just an algorithm" from an institutional trading firm causing havoc in the market for their own benefit...

Not someone I can knock on the door and punch the person in the face for stopping me out for a loss or turning a big profit into a tiny profit as if I was "entitled" to a profit.

Hello wrbtrader,

LOL HAHAHHAAHH I perfectly understand sir. lol, believe me I understand. I just take my loss and keep on going.
 
That’s where NNtaleb makes sense.
Stop listening once you hear “But”

I screwed up but …

I don’t like people making excuses.
I don’t give a damn about rationalizations.

He’s violent but … he’s kind deep inside.
He’s miserable but … he had a tough childhood.

LOL !

You’ve just been lured into thinking otherwise.
The truth might be hard to swallow,
Just trying to save your butt,
From what’s coming.

I use stops but it can be a losing battle with thinly traded stocks. The market makers do go after stops, thats a fact.
I no longer trade thinly traded stocks.
Again, like people who make excuses for irresponsible lifestyles, traders blame mistakes on bad luck ..
 
Immediately after I entered the trade, before I could enter my stop... the dog ate the computer!! Just like in elementary school with my homework. Damn pitbulls ...
