Just occurred to me sitting here at the mercy of this market that only able to trade the short side is very limiting. Definitely don't want to get in this situation again. this sucks
what will happen if you think the market is going to go up and you just close out all your shorts and get long?
If I close this out now and this retraces I'll feel twice as worse as I do now. If I would only have waited.. What do you think oldtime..am I thinking about this right?
no, either make up your mind, do you want to think or do you want to feel? If you want to think, do all your thinking before you get in. Because like they tried to tell you, it is too easy and too painful once you are in for your emotions to cloud your judgement.
I agree with you dealing with emotions, as when in deep, our emotions are always thinking of a positive outcome, but in reality, you have to train yourself on your emotions. When I get that "reaction within the brain", one can feel pulses upon your face of cooler temps and normally that is fear, it as if you can feel individual hairs. I stopped trading take way long ago, I am just an old merciless shark who has no emotions. No commitment, no fear, know every possible outcome and how to react. Lived thru July 1987, 9-11 and many others. Got to have rules. What a Funtastic day today in just Euro 100 ticks up, currencies BIG MONEY is trend is your friend, and only scalping when market is flat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHhzi8PvDYw
1. What school taught you that "2000 thousand dollars" is equal to $2,000??? Epic fail. 2. Let's say a big-time wall street firm calls and says, "What value can you bring to our trading desk?" if you show them this thread, they will laugh....for a long time. if you say "i can click buttons and stare at colors and bars and draw lines." more laughing get more school loans....bet it all.
