Quote from ~~~:

Robert

so you're not a super-man.. really that's no big deal.
( i never like super-man anyway .. what's up with the s hardo and wearing the underwear outside and flying around with that red-towel etc! :) talking about cartoon movies, i only like 'finding nemo' and i love 'kung fu pandan'

sorry to hear about your down-hill a/c but don't worry i started out as a penniless apprentice and if i can made it so can you!

take heart! the year of the tiger is here.. be prepare for the majestic golden tiger roarrrrrrrs!

meanwhile .. the weekend is here.. go watch the 'kung fu panda' with your boys and your wife ... i am sure you and your family will really enjoy the story ... the 'pandan' is sooooo cute and adorable! the story is kinda like my story when i first started as an apprentice lol :D

according to tibetan astrology, this is a very bad year for the fulfillment of wishes, the last time this happned was in 1959
 
Hey RW... remember... a year earlier I used to be regular with you and nodoji in chatroom... you inspired me to hold longer and anticipate larger moves.

I am very sure you will come back with a bang :)
 
Bob, I wish you good luck in whatever you do. If you come back to trading do yourself a favor and have a plan instead of doing the "admiration" stuff. Trading is about a plan, strategies, tactics. Trying to be a nice guy is a waste of time, trading is about taking the other guys wallet.

I think you were confused between being just an average Joe trader and having visions of a website paid customers deal. You were trying to be the end all to many folks. If you come back just be content to be a trader first and save the other stuff for later, if at all.

Just trying to help. Good luck

As a regular in Bob's chat room, I think it was always about having a good group of folks exchanging ideas. I don't think Bob is after admiration - if anything I think his journal and chat room are probably to help with keeping track and not trading in a vacuum.

I believe that a chat room of peers who grow together can be an important way to improve.

Website? I've been in Bob's room and never once got the inclination that he had any interest in a website. My guess is that you're full-on projecting here.

What douchebaggery.

typo error huh? should be 1950 :D

tiger ~"HU" (in mandarin) ~sign of Courage-they cannot pass up a challenge.

5 chinese elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth.

2010 ~ metal tiger
1998 ~ earth tiger
1986 ~ fire tiger
1974 ~ wood tiger
1962 ~ water tiger
1950 ~ metal tiger

yeah ... according to the tibetan astrology, very bad year for the fulfillment of wishes ..but for trader- the year of the tiger- fiery volatile-which is good for us because we don't "wishes" we strive hard to made it happen to hit our target. :D

Throwing salt over the left shoulder while trading never fails to make wishes come true. Tibetan monks carry that in their bag along with a flute to calm the demons. If they don't calm down you can hit them with the flute.

No good trades today

Challenging day no signals all discretionary trades.
CLF + 9
FSYS – 2456
INTU + 15
SII + 4

FSYS went wrong from the word go and I just closed everything else out to flatten out. FSYS went lower as the day went on and I was glad that I exited before it went down further as the loss could have been much worse. For a stock that has a huge short interest as of the last reporting day and improved guidance along with a fair PE it sure went down hard today. I did think about selling calls and turning it into a swing trade but I didn’t feel that was a good idea in light of it not starting out that way. I did go flat with it several times today and it would show some strength and I went long only to have it fall back down again and I stopped out. This happened several times and while that part might have been fine the first entry into the stock went poorly and was the cause of the bulk of the loss.
I sold 2 feb 30 calls that also expired today with FSYS. + 8

I am taking Monday off at least in the morning as I attend to some other things. This will be my first time in a long time but I think I am due for an opening bell without me.

Hi Prop,

Thanks and very interesting. I guess I picked the title for the flow of words but I think your point is valid on all of them.

Monday I am taking off the morning and maybe the whole day. I was planning on taking yesterday and today off but had a change of appointments.

Either way I am do for a break. Not enough sleep and not enough time for the family and the only surprising thing is I am actually doing very well in school despite a lack of attention and other things as well.

I have a pile of trading books I want to read and automation I want to do and taking a break will help me regroup.

~~~~~ or Sam or whatever the handle is has actually seen me work years ago. I don't like taking breaks and taking days off. Its not in my nature. But like a fly hitting a window trying to get outside it doesn't matter how much effort I put in if I don't stop and see that the door is open three feet away and I can simply change course and fly right on out.

Have a great weekend

Robert


Quote from ThePropTrader:

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was. GO TAKE A BREAK and do something other than trading because its obvious that you are burning out dude, go play with your kids for few months and drain their energy and than come back to trading but do it at your pace, not the market pace. You know it only takes a few good trades a year to make your year.

Another downer is your thread title the word "fading".. Its like you have already outlined your "negative" path with just that word. If you had to put that in the title then in no doubt you are burnt out but you probably dont want to admit it. Close this thread right now and reopen it when you are ready to change your thread title to something like Weinstein Trading and Loving to Kill Sheep, you get the point.
