It has finally clicked.....as a trader

Ignore the negativity, continue to study and grow. Don't get cocky, and work hard.

Continued good luck.

You have been trading for 5 weeks and you just made the jump to 200 shares and your trading has "clicked". Thanks for reminding me why this website is such a joke

Chill out, juniornoob.

To the OP, congrats on seeing a bit of light but please remember that the markets will almost certainly be smashing you in the face repeatedly in the very near future. When that happens, have the courage and the resolve to do what you know you should - scale back and don't get discouraged. I have been around here for a while but only recently booked off several months in a row to trade intraday (swing trading only before this) and the journey is alternately thrilling and devastating. I'm also trying to even out the emotional swings.

btw... the guy above is right. The reason for the negativity you're seeing is that you said you had it 'figured out' (or whatever, don't quote me). Traders are a loud, rude, profane egotistical bunch. Don't mind them, they're only having fun.

Quote from STOCKKBROKER:

Unless you can make up 80% of your losses in 20% of your trades consistently for at least a year, you have not figured nothing out!

That is 2 minutes of my life that I will never get back trying to tell some superstar trader like yourself because you will never listen and blow out your account in 2 months because you believe in your method of trading and have a 20k loser!!

When will I figure THIS out?

Easy there big guy!

To the op: don't mind the harsh words; even a cool dude like me would envy you if you already figured out PA in 5 weeks (really? 5 weeks?). Anyhow, wtg, dude. Keep us posted of your further progress ok?
