  2. 'Tarding... :D Gotta remember that one.


    As to how trading is like dating...

    Remember man and woman have similar goals: she likes long, he likes to get rid of shorts.

    dating is like trading in that:



    Some days its like cake, your flooded with winners, other days, you got a stretch of scratch trades or losses.

    One way or another, if its a good day or not, at the end of the date/trading day, you will be worn out.

    The longer you trade/date, the more you realize how important it is to hold on to winners.

  5. Trading is a lot like dating. You read shitty message boards looking for the holy grail.

    I've always thought having a female partner was like owning a large boat, a bottomless hole where you throw your time and money into, however I'm beginning to wake up to the trading similarities.

  8. take emotions out of the market and you trade better.

    trading is numbers game.

    playing blackjack where the dealer knows everybody hands.analogy

    but now the market index is like rigged game it just goes up...and every resistance is now support.
