Thanks for the responses. I just used 10 lots as an example. Obviously I'm not planning on trading that kind of size. I guess the point I...
I think the most unsung reason for retail trader failure is... COMMISSIONS. Let's say you pay $4.50 round trip and you're going to trade on...
I guess all the negativity is to be expected in a business where so many fail. There will always be frustrated traders who want to vent, and...
Not to kick anyone when they're down... but the only way you can lose the farm is if you bet the farm. Just saying.
I'm interested too. Personally I don't like scalping, it's just too frantic for me. So even though I won't be trying to duplicate what you're...
I've had the same idea for a while. I think the way to do it would be to offer to teach someone how to trade, then fade their trades. You just...
+1 One of the best posts I've ever read on a trading forum. I've never used OTA so am not trying to defend them. But just saying there's no...
Sounds too good to be true. ;) But I've found that simple is usually better so will be looking into this. Am looking forward to your continued...
LOL - reminds of our tech support guy at work... recently divorced. Said it was a horrible experience, but at least still has a sense of humor...

Did you consider that maybe this is all in your head? You seem to have convinced yourself that people will react negatively to your success,...
Hi Matcha I got faked out on that first long entry too, I went long at the exact same spot.
Looking at the 5-min day session chart (SPY) there has been a clear series of higher lows since yesterday, so until I saw a lower high I was in...
I saw some videos of the monthly winners a little while ago, and yeah, was pretty impressed with the huge returns. But what really got me was...
I did very well today, so not much to report. I did this more to get feedback on my mistakes so I won't go into too much detail on the winners....
I was reading part of Matcha's journal where Nodoji was advising her to stop trying to trade so many different setups, and instead focus on...
I was leaning short going into the day. It looked to me that we were possibly putting in a lower high in the 10:45-11:45 est time zone. With...
Hi I recently discovered this site and have been impressed with the calibre of the feedback I've seen in some other journals here. Brett...
