Hey I'm New Here

[daytrader86]

Hey guys my name is Matt. I started trading about 4 months ago. Have done pretty well due to some bidu options. I just opened a futures account on tradestation. I think i will be much more successful intraday than swing. I have read 20 books in the last 4 months and absolutely love trading and the market in general. I consider this my hobby and my future career considering i'm only 21. I will continue to learn and progress at this game and will work twice as hard as anyone around me to achieve my goals. void of emotion of course.

This forum looks great and I am happy I stumbled upon it. I feel there is alot that I can learn from you guys, and that is a great thing.

Welcome to the forums Matt. Naah, emotions in trading are good to a degree....fear can tell you when you are about to do something stupid, just like in everyday life...

courage is what is necessary....there is a difference in fear and being afraid...fear may be intuition at work saying it's a bad move, even if you don't catch it with your eyes first....so it can be helpful....

being courageous comes into play when you review the situation after the initial fear, and realize it is in fact a good move you're planning...and then act accordingly.
