Aphie you really need a serious whack round the ear. You're like a hyperactive chicken with its head cut off. For god's sake man listen to the advice you are being given - why are you are so deaf that you keep on this mission to self distruct??? So many people have given you wisdom that could set you on your way to success - why trade this option bullshit?? And why are you back here spouting off when you said you were going to focus on trading for a while????? I guess we are all wasting our breath.... Indie
Finished Taleb's book some weeks ago. Recommend it to everyone who don't want to be fooled by randomness... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...r=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-7193509-4596622?v=glance
Even if we are still in a bear market, there are plenty of opportunities to trade both long and short. Some of the highest % plays are counter-trend plays b/c the majority of people are waiting for the correction!

Alph, How many times do people have to ask "WHY ARENT YOU USING YOUR ORIGINAL PLAN"??? At worst... trade SPY,QQQ with it. I think you need to explain yourself. Taking ANY trade which does not squarely fall into a well developed, analyzed plan, is GAMBLING, not trading. I've been paper trading my newest system all week. Just stared with some real money. It WORKS! Suprise, surprise. The big difference between you and me is: 1) emotional control - My head doesnt spin when I enter a trade. 2) discipline - I DONT trade outside my plan, and stick to it #2 will only come with pulling the trigger enough times, so make sure its only 100 shares until you get it. You will continue to lose money until the head spinning stops. You need to focus on ONE plan for now, so you can get passed the head spinning phase, and gain some confidence. You wont freak out as much once you have succeeded with a single plan. Repeat 100 times. Use my plan , dont trade outside my plan, use my plan, dont trade outside my plan, use my plan.... Say this to yourself until you fall asleep at night peace axeman
