I thought it would be fun to try and remember some things I was thinking before I lost my shirt. You have any?

Man, she sure is one hot chick!

Quote from Handle123:

Since I have traded over 30 fun filled years, yeah right...not the early ones.

12. I am so close !!!

13. I can't believe it, I was up on four trades in a row and now down for the day !!!

14. F**k this, I quit !!!

15. It's Friday afternoon, forty trades later and I am down again, where is the Futures magazine for the next Guru I can toss my money away.

16. It worked last week !!!

17. Back to the bank for another loan, can use my car for collateral on this one.

18. I will do a spread, no risk in that....WTF, they are going opposite in same market?

19. Limit Down, WTF does that mean I can't get out, just fill the damn orders !!!

20. Three f**king days of limit down sitting on twenty contracts? You said this be safe !!! Moron !!! (It was really me being the moron for not knowing about limit moves - don't trust a broker)

21. I can't believe the $300 loss I didn't take is now $8,000 and counting, can't give out now, am sure bank with take second car for collateral.

22. What do you mean I lost ten grand in ten seconds? What report? I don't care if the price was only there for a nano second, you should have gotten me out!!!

23. I finally caught a break, my stop was actually filled before my stop and limit entry price was filled. Two days later, what do you mean ticket was not turned in and I have a margin call for the loss, "I'm calling the NFA/CFTC and the President", F**K this !!!

24. What do you mean I got filled outside of the range of the day?

25. I know I shouldn't have washed my socks, I was on a roll of two winning days in a row.

26. Where is my lucky coin? Hey, did you steal my lucky coin?

27. I was doing so well.

28. No more of letting the cat in my office when I'm not, he hit the mouse, so appropriate, to put me in a trade, no food for you for next five months....

Back to number 12.

The early years, my gawd, I just don't know how I stayed with it, all the most horrible emotions come out along with new words. Trading stocks was never as hard as trading futures, it never dawned on me earlier that trading a hedged product was often times manipulated especially in Meats and softs.

Quote from jedwards:

Please, Lord, I'm a good person. I don't deserve to be treated like this, can You please give me a break just this once?

This prayer used to work if offered along with this one:

"Dear God, if you can just get me out of this, I'll never ever EVER do that again, AND I promise to [exercise every day, quit smoking, quit drinking, quit throwing my keyboard at the dog, go to church every week for the rest of my life]."

The reason these prayers no longer work is because right after God got a trader out of the mess, the trader would give a huge sigh of relief, hit the local bar for a cigar and bourbon, skip church that Sunday to watch the big game, look at the pre-market action early Monday, say, "Damn, lookit how high it's tradin', I'm gonna short this one full on, don't even need a stop, it'll never go higher than X!" then throw the keyboard at the dog after losing the entire month's profits.

Good list…. And entertaining – unfortunately (means I’m only laughing at myself)


=============================================================================================

OP,



That I was thinking (at all).., instead of doing – is the F’d up thing….




Why didn’t I exit

I should have exited

You F’N idiot – why didn’t you exit, what are you waiting on….

May be it’ll come back

Looks like it’ll come back

It’s turning…, here it comes… oh hell there it goes…

So where’s the next S/R level – (which of course it doesn’t even slow down for)


And all this time…., I sit there like a dumb fuck watching my losses grow….. Doing nothing….

But oh boy… am I ever thinking……




So Ladies and Gentlemen – now you know why I pride myself on being simple minded

[Mav88]

the good times eh?

and the 'pep talks' as joke mentions... set-ups for more beatdown

Bah It's just money, I have my health and family, when I die this won't matter

Everyone pays tuition, so no big deal

I'm losing less

Just think of **fill in the blank with someone less fortunate
**, at least I'm not them.
