Good Gawd! Talk about the et delusions. Amt4swa is a mechanic at south west airlines. Now he is guru trader on elite? What a bizzare group
I was following up on something interesting, you would be surprised at what little jems are buried in the most unexpected places! Regards Johno
Cutten, thanks for the post. Many folks here won't appreciate the thought process as you go thru the trade after upping your size, but those that actually trade for a living know exactly what you're speaking of/ feeling. As for the meatball sjp, just please go away. You're a fucking wannabe nobody that tries to draw attention to yourself because of your own failings...what a tool.
Actually, ignore the risk management side for a moment. Going to the OP - I am sure we all have these moments of being afraid. It may be revealing, after having some significant profits that allow one to swallow the loss outside of normal trading, to just go "large size" one or a couple of times in order to break through the fear barrier. Sometimes this is better done with a significant push than slow nagging. If lost, lost - one still may have gotten a valuable relief out of it (hey, the market is not breaking - whow). And if it goes against, this is training fee. Then, one can scale up "properly" according to risk management. I personally can see how some people - even experienced traders - may just have this "i am afraid" level that needs to be resolved. And one way to do that is by really forcing through it.
