Quote from rsikit:
Yes scalping was easy back in the day and times have changed, and beleive me I have been around a while but I am young I started this out of college. And made a ton in the late 90s and early 2000s and then I blew up and bankrupted myself not adapting and had to get a real job to save up and trade again. I blew up shorting naked options on energies by the way not day trading, but it has taught me to respect risk alot , becuase before I never had respect for risk. Just kept avgin in until I brought my cost basis close enough. That doesnt work. So I basically started trading again about2 years after bankruptcy and didnt it the turtle way slow and steady. I dont want to get burnt out scalping so I am trying to get into a less stressful way trading which is longer time frames but still intraday, I like to sleep at night. So I dont hold when I am sleeping. So with fx I am definately sometimes to trigger happy with spikes trying to fade which I need to stop. When I figure it cannot go any higher since it just spiked 100 pips, the market tells me oh yes I can go another 100 pips
