Yes... absolutely.

I need to focus a little more on that... That's a good one that I don't think about too often.

The 2 most expensive bad habits:

1. Holding onto a bad trade too long
2. Cutting off a profitable trade too soon

What are some of your dumb ass mistakes, and how long did it take you to finally stop making the mistakes, or do you still make them every now and then...?

talking to your broker on your trading over your cell phone while driving, you know, sooner or later, get killed in an accident .... this should be the most expensive

Repeating detrimental behavior


In this business - "try" - simply won't cut it

Took the words right out of my mouth or I should say keystrokes.

I'm a relatively new trader... I've been trading retail for about three years,

What are some of your dumb ass mistakes, and how long did it take you to finally stop making the mistakes,

Every rookie...will make every rookie mistake, sooner or later --I don't care how long you practiced.
When real money is in play...you learn very quickly. Or at least, I did -- hopefully you will too.

Some "dumb ass mistakes" are derived from dumb ass strategies, so keep that in mind too.
Other than that, good luck...and may the force be with you

Best thing for you is to do something else.

Great attitude, when things get tough quit and do something else. I am certain that is the story of your life.

It's an interesting list but there is also another longer one with people who wouldn't give up and wasted a life trying things they were not good at or had unrealistic goals.We don't hear their story.
