How did you get comfortable with growing size?

oh btw, i totally agree that having the DOM PN'L column on is a bad idea.

neither your target exits or your stop exits are going to be improved if you are watching the money and thinking about the money.

think about the trade setups and watch the market

if you trade logically, the money takes care of itself

and of course, REAL MEN don't life weights lying on their back - iow the bench press.

they clean and jerk the weight overhead!!!

(sorry, my olympic lifter bias coming out )

also, real men squat.

and if the bar aint bendin' yer just pretendin'

I'll leave the jerkin to the experts and just keep doing my preacher curls.

Benchpress is one of the best raw strength building exericises, along with the squat and deadlift. The clean jerks are good too, but comparing em to benchpress is like apples to oranges.

I'm upset noone liked my advice about growing size.

Isn't it usually jerk and then clean?

Or you mean a reward for doing chores?

The only way I ever got comfortable with growing size (even when I could afford to) was to procure a secondary source of income. This way I was not worried about my profits and losses at ALL! I started custom web site and programming jobs on the side. I made all my rent and bills from that. Trading become so much easier from that point on.

trade price, charts, fundamentals, etc. not your P/L.

with that said, you need to set the right size, something that won't make you act irrationally with respect to my first sentence. Maybe you should trade foreign markets (yen and hkd) where you'll quickly have to desensitize to loosing 200000 units.
