Hi Brandon, We've never met but I've been following your 'career' for quite a few years - mainly your threads in ET. I don't know how much of...
What has this got to do with thinking in percentages? Why hijack this thread? It started off nicely with some intelligent comments and then you...
In one of the posters earlier replies he did state that his challenge was to maintain that 'average' for 3 months. I voted YES in the original...
Another interesting day trading journal. I have voted YES to 2% per day. Question for TradStSOX - when you started the thread/poll, what were...
In response to my initial question to Allen - about what his plans were after the completion of this experiment he stated he wanted to trade...

If its not for you, then its not for you. Simple. There are some incredibly successful day traders who make more than a living scalping the...
seems this thread has kinda died a death which is a shame as its been a fascinating read for me. Having just finished 'Pit Bull' (cover to cover...
People have been trading breakouts and retracement strategies before and since the Turtles and some make money and some don't. There's so much...

This is a good post, interesting to see lots of differant views. I believe people should follow their dreams by taking controlled risks. It...
