  1. Stop listening to news. Trade what you see, if its important news it will already be on the chart before you will have had a chance to do anything with it.

    Don't worry, eventually you learn to stop doing this shit.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Same thing happened today. Same profitable pattern began shortly after the ISM number, and I ended up fishing for tops. On my last attempt, I had a keystroke error that had me short thousands of shares of UPS during the rip and I ended 3x past my max. loss for the day.

    Just had to get this out somewhere.

  4. I completely ignore news.

    I just watch how price reacts to it when released.

    I like to keep it as simple as possible.

    Made my nut today -- time to play some video games.

    Muahahahahahaha

    Probably the single best advice on ET.

    Listen well.
