Thanks Fulcrum, I will definitely take a look at that book. Your ideas sound very interesting, maybe you could post something in the psychological or trading doctor area? If you want/have time of course.
Brownsfan, I am pretty sure I have ADD. Even at Nordstrom and when I worked at Best Buy when the day I got slow I would find myself talking to others and playing around on my phone. Best Buy was worse as I would wander into Magnolia and ask for demo's. At Nordstrom I just talk to all the girls and miss all the customers.
I used the bedroom as an office once and it was GREAT for trading - for about two weeks. I worked way too much though at first, and never slept. Then the inevitable happened and I would wander off and do other things. I am trying to get my Series 7 now so I can trade for Bright. I don't need their leverage or platforms, I just want an office to trade in with other traders as I believe this will keep my competitive spirit high and help me focus purely on trading.
One other thing, Brownsfan you said you eventually got down to a 2000 VBC with your trading. I found during all the volatility that a 1 minute time frame kept me focused because trades were happening left and right. I'm wondering if maybe I should try a shorter time frame (I'm using 5min now) to see if that helps me focus. I tend to like fast paced things compared to slow and relaxed. |
