    No questions,but some advice....

    If there is a kernel of truth to you interviewing at Goldman and actually have a second interview,you make sure to get that position. Do whatever it takes....

    It is the opportunity of a lifetime,and most likely your one big chance..

    Daily stop losses for day traders should be a must. Correct sequence? You are right because we trade in probabilities. Trading is a calculated risk not gambling unless over trading or some weird thing you are not supposed to be doing. Imagine not having a daily loss limit and you keep trading in the wrong direction? Then you decided to trader larger and larger to make back what you lost but now you are in a deeper hole? I am pretty sure sometimes you can make 5 times your daily loss limit from to time.

  7. Good Morning legionx,

    Yes, I can agree with that. I don't have a daily dollar amount stop limit in my trading. I just never thought about it. Because once I'm drawdown, I know have X hours for day trading session to recover.

    I think that setting a daily loss limit for yourself will be the right decision, which helps to avoid excessive losses and preserve capital. After all, it is not uncommon for a trader to lose too much in a day and want to recoup or take revenge. This leads to rash and impulsive transactions, increased risks and even greater losses.
