I buy 1000 TVIX at $180/share and my hot asian wife walks into my office wearing nothing. I get distracted and take a big stop loss, lol #worthit

Do you really refer to her as a hot Asian wife. That's so lame

Yet the lame can walk and the blind see.

putting a limit price above your stop loss price on a long position......such an idiot.

There's only one way to make money, namely, buy low and sell high or short high and cover low. But there are so many ways to lose. It's completely mind-blowing.

very true

you have to sit in front of computer for 8 hours and there will be only one trading opportunity and 15 fake ones.
opportunity knocks, temptation leans on the door bell.
is it any wonder most traders lose

I think just trade with either the bull argument or the bear argument.
this works for long term trending markets.
if you are trading hourly or anything less than that ,you have to have a two sided mentality.
not 'I am right, it is bull'!
you have to be able to see trades, on both sides, if not how on earth, will you know your target.

I guess you can say the same thing about life as well. Whether you want to be rich or poor, good or bad, industrious or lazy, or whatnot, the choice to define who you want to be is up to you. Nobody's putting a gun to your head.

In bizzaro world if losing was winning and getting blown out was the ultimate prize,I would overleverage,especially short cheap vol

You forgot buy high and sell higher, i.e., the greater fool theory.

I prefer “Buy lower than low and sell higher than high”

Buy high, sell higher
Usually has 10risks 1reward.
