I want to break something

[RiceRocket]

Stop putting on broker side stops. Just use your head, stop out yourself, also set your stops a little wider. 10 points YM, gives you no room to breathe.

How do you keep yourself from breaking something after the YM takes out your 10 point stop about 3 seconds after u entered the trade!!!!

Keep a desk drawer full of cheap calulators.

With a 10 tick stop get use to it. If you have any chance of being a trader you better get that emotion out of your system. You can't profit without being willing to lose. I would say on YM with a 10 tick stop will most likely get stopped out 3 or 4 times every 10 trades. I have found daytrading but not scalping 10 ticks is pretty tight for YM. It needs a good bit of room. I use 20 to 25 ticks. But it all depends on your stats and your plan. I suggest sim trade if you don't have those things tight and your emotions in check.

Ask Alex from Pureschtick. That happens to them all the time only it's a 40 point stop-out.

Why would Alex feel angry? It's not like he's actually trading the calls live with real money.

Good Point-I'm getting older so I tend to forget things.
