Fast, are you still making money with real estate ?

I'm making money everywhere except trading.

Maybe you should cool the market shit. Maybe find a different hobby for a while then come back. Not trying to be negative just sometimes it pays to stand aside for a while.

Maybe you're right. Btw, I have a different hobby...cars, but it's winter here in Chicago so I can't even go out for a nice drive

TradeStation has a feature on the latest version that shows your entry and exit on the chart. It makes your good trades look spectacular, and your stupid and emotional trades look horrible.

You just saw why you need to stay on your toes.

I am also using TradeStation and the new Matrix trade window and being able to see past trades and current orders on my screens is great.

Good luck Fast! I don't have any advice as I don't think advice helps anyone much. Trading is a solo sport...

Your posts are a little uptight. If you are completely mind-f*cked then more trading may not help, sky down to Orlando or Miami over President's Day weekend. Just a thought...

Anything else? I don't use SR.

Btw...I like your sig. That's what I was saying on Friday

-Fast

Thanks, the sig is from a Kurt Vonnegut book. It happens when you've created something spectacular and you step back and ask yourself "How in the hell did I do that?"

Meaning you've done something you thought you could not do.

I'm taking rest of the week off...or at least will try to take rest of the week off.

What??!! You don't want to trade the GreenSpeak spikes?

Today was pretty weird too. I fell asleep and missed the two big easies. Just managed to scrape out commissions and some lunch money.

Did you keep it on the plus side today?
