I agree with Chaos... Trading ain't rocket science. It's just a matter of practice and perseverance. Anybody can make it. Even Fast!! Seriously, though. There's an interesting thread on "what's the most important trait for a trader"... I said perseverance. $2.5K is f*ck all anyway man. Don't give up. Persevere and you'll get there.
We had too much white $hit, aka snow out here in Chicago so I had to leave for work extra early today. Only 2 trades in the AM, and up 1 ES pt. -Fast
The last two hours (and the day pretty much) have been f*cked for me. I kept trying to fade that fall on DAX, and it kept falling, falling, falling. Just how many times did I try to fish that bottom??? I gave back massive profits from the very start today, like everything, I was even way below zero, until I stopped trading just over B/E. What a pi$$-off. @#$% man I can't believe stuff like this still happens to me. There must have been bull testes in my Coke. Next time I'll have Pepsi. This is like my worst habit lately: Trying to fade really fast moves. For whatever reason. This costs me serious bottom line, every other day. I will have to consult about this with my NLP coach and alleviate it. Enough for me. Time to cheer up. I'm listening to Linkin Park now. Track "Breaking the Habit"... :eek: Well, congrats Fast. If you did ES 1pt on 5 cars today, then you have actually outperformed me...
Man, just imagine trading after a dose of snow. Talk about humility, nothing in the world makes you as humble as that stuff. What a great way to die.
