    what exactly is discipline?
    i wonder if, when he started traded, he always made money till 9 am from day one?

    the best things in life are free......trading is not.

    fun is costly......boredom makes money

    Wrong! 1980s kids are bored with today's entertainment, and are now producing shows that make money and having fun doing it.

    Gosh, you are so short-sighted.

    Confront the problem head-on... Learn or burn... for a week, START YOUR DAY at 11am.

    Trade later in the day, but lower your position sizes down to 50%, or even 20%.

    Then you get the fix and can play, but won't destroy any AM profits.

    what i am trying to say is that through your hard work you learned to be profitable till 11 am.

    now learn to be profitable till 4 pm.

    nowadays you know it we have it good....we have sim/demo ....

    when i started trading i give an order to my broker he can only confirm it after trading closes and he comes out of ring maybe 7 hours later
