No worries!! I just wanted more downtime, time to spend with my girl. She works close to our place so we have lunch together at 1 everyday. I have...
I have and have read both those books. Very helpful. I think futures have been the death of me. But I've learned a hell of a lot.
That is exactly the biggest difference. These indexes seem to turn on a dime. I was able to ride stocks that were trending much easier. Once I get...
That is true. Dwelling on the past is not helpful. I have been trying to adapt and will need to cool down on the trading for a while. It would be...
Yeah, it was. I have read too many books on trading makes things too confusing. Need to focus on only a few setups. The corporate gig was...
I wish it were a joke!! Not totally as bad as it seems. I have enough money to last me about a year of doing this without having to make any money...

I think the lay off was a blessing. I basically blew my severance pay in one month of trading though!! Yeah I have other opportunities. I know...
Thanks for your comments. The reason I started trading futures was for the leverage and to learn something new. I guess I figured trading was...
Doing the opposite of my gut... I've tried that... doesn't work either?!!? I took my stock account from 12K t0 37K in 6 months doing about 15...

I started trading futures full time on April 2, 2007 but it might as well been April fools day. I though I knew how to trade. I had tripled in the...
