  4. I think im kinda dumb but i still trade options.......... ive never been good at trading direction.... I need to work on that... One thing i notice on et is everyone loves to call tops and bottoms... I hear thats where everyone is usually wrong.

  5. yeah, I've never been goood at that, or even predicting direction up or down. I like trading. Let the predictors sit on the the sidelines and guess what they think it is going to do.

  7. I'm not dogmatic about these things. I very often go with the consensus.

    But you know, at some point you have to think, "They can't all be right all of the time"

    That's when I fade

    but it really doesn't matter if you are trading stocks, options futures or forex, we all have our little world and signals that we follow

    the number one reason for failure is undercapitalization, and the number two reason isn't even worth talking about

    If someone is under capitalized, they just haven't thought things through and don't have the common sense they were born with

    with options and forex, there is just no reason to be undercapitialized

    so there's really no excuse for failure

  8. Forex frustrates me.. I just wanna give up and martingale when i trade forex.... Keep averaging down untill illiquid hah... i thought the solution to price going against you is to buy more....and or widen stops... hahah just measure range multiple by four and use that as a measurement to gauge your liquidit for martingaling... I should try that haha

  9. I like you cd caveman

    you never pretend to be something you are not

    you're not afraid of hard physical work

    and you have a very sharp mind

    perfect candidate for substance abuse

    I hope the trading works out for you

    You're one of the few that I think really has what it takes

    (which aint saying much, just another one who couldn't make it in the real world)
