Why not? Woolly-headed nonsense like astrology has zero rational basis behind it, and traders - successful ones, anyway - are rational people who focus on what the data shows. Selling mystical crap to other people... sure, I guess that's a business model one could follow. I wouldn't find much to respect in it, but some people have made a fortune doing it. Buying into it, though? Sorry, my Virgo-crossed Aries astral body projection chakra rainbow energy says "not in this lifetime."
This video remember me about a super fall that appeared in GC two weeks back. He would have been one of the mans who bought at the red arrow bar $20 less each gold ounce, $2000 less each contract in his account.
I shorted instead of long on a 200pt rally, watched the chart, high 5ing myself like crazy, checked the account errrr, account at margin level, no open trades WTF, went the wrong damn way, no SL set as was going to manually close BAD DAY!!! Lost $700 should of made $1000
Put in a trade on the wrong ticker a few times, sent an order that I meant to put into the Analyze tab on TOS that is still a position, I'll probably think of more. Just trying to program in general
Shweet! (But do see the Shannon–Hartley theorem for why humor, unless heavily denotational, works poorly in text-only communication. )
I inherited a substantial amount of money. I put it all in my trading account. Instead of doing the normal 1,000 - 10,000, I did 100,000 and now had the money. I did not realize it until the several days later, but I made a lot of money, actual more than a lot. Once I realized my profits I sold my position. Made an amazing amount of money. It is really wonderful to see the money in your account and know that you were stupid but it is still yours. Problem - No checks of $100 million or more accepted. The IRS can’t accept a single check (including a cashier’s check) for amounts of $100,000,000 ($100 million) or more. If you are sending $100 million or more by check, you will need to spread the payments over two or more checks, with each check made out for an amount less than $100 million. Not sure how to pay. I actually owe more
I had a similar experience. Dealing with a family medical emergency, a long flight, multiple timezones and lack of sleep. Entered an order in the wrong timezone, which caused it to not close on time, did not realize my error when checking, then many hours later added instead of closing as the price just went against me. Lost about 4k on this stupidity. After this I knew automation is the only way if your method can be automated.
Seconds before a big move mouse over close just incase, cat closed position walking over mouse,200pt move in seconds Not trading but money, GF lost 1000euros for our holiday, searched everywhere, turns out she'd put it on hamster cage, hamster pulled it in and shredded as bedding
