Actually, I traded half my position with a 20pt stop on the first trade and a 10 pt stop on the second trade. I felt extremely comfortable.

 

I think I am more concentrated now on 1-3 trades a day with at least 20-30pt swings.

 

How are things for you Tin? I havent had a chance to get up to date with you.

Excellent :) Great to hear. I've been doing OK...was doing amazingly well for a little while, then went into a slump the past couple weeks, but am getting out of that today. It happens....but things are lots better now.

Looks like that 13400 was a great area to be shorting prior to the afternoon. I called it a day after the first 90 minutes today.

 

Hey Tin, keep it up. I know you will reach where you want to be. Hard work and perseverance. :)

 

Im actually considering consulting a trading psychologist to improve my trading. Most of my losses are always because of my lack of mental discpline. There are a few things I have yet to understand about my own psychological makeup and looking to understand them better to improve my trading.

Hey Tin and Soul,

 

Since my sabbatical (losing my trading account) I have been writing for my website on trading, or should I say providing useful borrowed trading wisdoms that I have deemed useful for traders. Over the years I have highlighted or saved these writings of successful traders and I share them second hand.

 

As I have researched these writings it has really convinced me how difficult this game is and how the brain needs to be wired differently to overcome our personal biases and beliefs, i.e. our conditioned responses that have nothing to do with Free Will, but plain old emotional habits overriding any new found knowledge.

 

I am now trying to understand the inner world now with greater urgency and with better programming, I want to progress toward that idealized Master trader, that acts like a fighter pilot that Observes, Orients, Decides, and Acts (OODA), without the interferences of our own "Crap on Tap". Ya I can learn the setups and methods but I need to learn the reason why I make a decision or have thoughts that deny any manifestations of true self expression that makes lots of green.

Yes, because I'm not aware of it. Or...maybe I am and don't know its you!

 

But you've hit it on the head as for what needs to be achieved. It's a constant battle for me, and hopefully one I'm on the verge of overcoming...at least a little ;)

    • ...hallucinates.... Student: “What if we gave the monkey LSD?” Guru: “The monkey already did LSD”
    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
