Quote from Illini Trader:
I am an ol guy 65, who retired in Nov, 2002 to pursue a life long desire to trade stocks. I did well swing trading in 2003, but of couse that year you could throw darts at the charts and do well. I started day trading in May, 2004 (expecting it to be easy) and suffered 5 consecutive years of huge losses before turning profitable in June, 2009. Enough about me.
I learned of this site from SFO magazine and picked this Psychology forum (to make my first post ever to any forum) because this area is the absolute key to successful trading.
My question to some of you long time members, Who is out there? Are there people who day trade stocks every day. I am a solitary guy in this regard because I do not even know anyone who daytrades. My recent modest success comes via learning the hard way from the market' cruel teaching methods, with support from some good trading books. It would be fantastic to develop relationships with like minded people.
Thanks for listening.
