  1. HAHAHAHAHAH!!! :D

    What's a bad site? Porn sites? Dude, that's part of growing up. You'll get over it. You're learning to play with money before learning to play with yourself ? Good devil!

    I'm not suggesting you go watch porn- it's your life so do as you please, but I think at 15, lifting 5000 pounds (how is that even humanly possible ?) in the gym for screwing up on trading plans doesn't sound very Christ like to me...

    Oh and speaking of bad sites- this site is as "bad" as it can get from a Church's perspective- the number of atheists here and the amount of swearing that goes on....

    Dude, forget your "dad's" advice- go out, break some street lights, get in trouble, flirt with girls, have boners for no reason- just do things normal 15 year olds do- my advice is to forget trading. Don't be so money hungry at such a young age. Start once you're in university which is probably 3 -4 years down the road for you.

    Then you'll be ready.

    Thank you Wide Tailz, chaykapwr, Leapup, babutime, guy990opl for your posts and advise.

    My real Dad died a two years ago next month, our family was very happy before then, we had a nice house and did things as a family. My Father was an English teacher, and he taught me how to write and to be respectful to all people, even the mean ones. All us kids attended the school my Dad taught at, but now we all go to public school.

    Mom couldn't pay the tuition, and school has staggered openings, and I stay till 4:30, we live a half block away. I hate where I live, wish my Dad was here.

    Thank you Leapup, I talk into a tape recorder and "mentor" has his secretary type it out for my journal. He is real big on emotions when I enter and during the trade, he says whats inside you will get all happy about the trade and that is when I need to look to get out.

    babutime, thanks, but I already spent three months in juvie when I was mad at my Dad after he died. I am on the wrestling team, so 50 100lb pulls are nothing when in training, but the extra ones I have to do I rather not do. It is easy for you to say bout being money hungry when you have money, Mom works two jobs and has to take the bus for them. "Dad" attends our Christian church but he is not Christian, he says he can worship God anywhere, but he likes our pastor teachings. "Dad" might get mad at me cause he is private, but he helps us out, yesterday we went bowling and had lunch, then he took me to Walmart and he bought $200 of food for my house and a gift card for Walmart for more. He says it is not a gift, I can work it off cutting his grass, what I don't get is he hardly has any. We always go to Walmart after we go out, sometimes food, or clothes for my brothers and sisters. We buy other food too and on the way home, I get to deliver bags to other houses. Then drops me off, but I get to see him at church next day, and now have a cell phone to call him when I am feeling down. When Mom tries to thank him, he acts like he doesn't know what she talking about, he says I bought them, but I didn't. I turn sixteen in a few months and I already have a part time job lined up, I can work at his office as an assistant, then I can help Mom. He says everyone has to work and he doesn't believe in giving out free anything, but I don't get him sometimes.

    Trading is fun, but I doubt I want to do this for a living. Thinking about becoming a teacher like both of my Dads.

    Today was tough, first half hour wasn't doing anything, especially ES. I traded Emini Russell.

    1st trade was a short made my target but wouldn't fill me so got 7 ticks.
    2nd trade was an extreme, but had to exit cause of time rules + 2 ticks
    3rd trade sold, immediately went against the trade and got to within one tick of my protective stop and eventually got +1 tick.
    4th trade I violated "Chop" rule and got +1 tick, going to have to do extra weight today.

    I have testing to do starting tomorrow, so might not be able to trade for a few days.

    1ST trade I wanted to go to plus one tick faster, but stayed with the rules and got one point.

    Doji no trade

    2nd Extreme trade, stayed in cause of Doji

    Doji no trade

    3rd trade Short, lucky to get one point.

    4th, Extreme trade, time stop went to breakeven and got double top out with five ticks.

    This is so boring waiting for signals.

    Can't trade afternoon, have tests. Hope all are doing well.

    Had to wait forever for 1st trade, all the equal highs kept me out, but saw volume going up, possible Extreme trade.

    1st trade Buy above inside bar and made plus 1.00

    Market going down but equal lows or bars too big keeping me out. Volume increasing for possible extreme

    2nd trade Buy but comes down, out for one tick.

    No clear set up for a short and more equal lows, now uptrend and perfect signal

    3rd trade Buy trend and won't go higher. got 5 ticks.

    Went to school.

    Lunch time. Volume spiking fast.

    4th trade Sold for fast 8 ticks.

    Lunch over.

  10. . I don't think you belong in this thread. Go play space invaders in the programming thread where you belong.
