Everything has a beginning, middle and an end.. isn't it?
I saw a lot of thanks flying around and felt that this thread is coming to an end. But then realized that TO has a question pending, so its still open.
Quote from bogan22:
Now, I've never had any pretensions about day trading, particularly US stocks. Seemed to fast for my slow pace of thinking, investing was more my speed. I read PitBull by M. Schwartz, after reading that, I thought no way could I compete with people like that. No way I want to be like them either.
I've reviewed a lot of these posts/threads, and the thought has crossed my mind that I might, just might be able to do this task, using some of the information contained therein. I like to think of my self as a Perspective seeker. How can I view these markets from another vantage point what does it look like from that persons point of view. Perspective is a most valuable tool. The TFF crew have certainly altered my perspective on short term trading. Got me rethinking my attitude and view, of what is, and is not possible in the markets. Thanks TFF guys/gals. I look forward to participating in more threads in the future, hopefully.
I was going to bang on about how appallingly low the signal to noise ratio is in these threads. But, guess I just added to it. :eek:
Regards
The Bogan

Well, I'm a brand new trader with no clue and only $3000 to play with. I've learned a huge amount from this and other similar threads. Thank you!
And thanks to you RN, something you said in another thread switched a light on for me. I even made a couple of bucks yesterday when the market was at it's lowest and the stock I was trading was deep in the red.
Appreciate all the time you guys have put in. It's very much appreciated here.
Quote from BobbiDigital:
Hey TO & RN,
How do you keep track of your trade stats or daily performance (other than p&l)? Seems like it could create a rigid mindset for your styles. Or do you just focus on R:R and execution once you 'get it'?
thanks for all you have taught those of us listening
now...these inner demons are a bitch.

Quote from baron193:
I have arrived at my own conclusions in trading after a few years of without the help of anyone, and i am very happy with the way i have been progresing.
The point is,
the true fools in this world, not just in trading, are actualy a minority, they are the people who display class in their everyday life, not just in trading forums, they are not always wealthy, that is NOT the measure, the way they conduct themselves displaying true pride, not ego, and despite of their achievements they do not hold themselves on a pedestal above all others.
We call them fools because they refuse to fall into the trap of what our society has really become, so they maintain honesty and integrity.
Tell me honestly, how much of the above do you see in all these hunderds of posts of these "experts"?
The part of "elite" few holding the "secret" which if you behave you might just work out or they will show you.
Natural progresion of trading should distill down your conclusions to some sort of improvement, if it doesn't you either are not suitable for day trading or work harder.
I don't have fancy words or poems, but i do have common sence of the "fools" and that has served me well so far, i do have worked things out for myself.
In other words, it is "how" not "what" someone is saying to you sometimes that needs critical judgement, and i have come to my conclusions.
How do you know if some trader is profitable or not? is it because they tell you so?
Enough of these games, since i don't belong here i'll finish off with a quote by Mark Twain.
"Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great.â

What the heck makes you think TO/ TE, and I are the same
Just curious
As for being a guru - I am a dumbass redneck trader - nothing more.. nothing less
And I've never stated otherwise
eta - as for being profitable, some trades I am, some trades I am not
one more to add - The book is free to anyone with an open mind
