OP, a big LOL at you. I predict that at some point in the very near future you will lose most, if not all, of your money!
I didn't do any 38 steps. I just watch a little news which just validating what I feel, news is always late, trade on news is definitely hopeless. What I did before real trading is looking at the definition of limit, stop and market order type. That's it. Now I am trying to figure out the percentage rage the market will go up or down each time, so that I can find good entry and exit point.
Not if I was delusional and believed I was psychic. As a joke I predicted the close of the Dow on a Monday in 2004 (Sunday PM) with futures flat. I nailed the cash close to the penny, so like a 1/6000 chance at one sigma. I made the prediction as the number came in a dream the night before, white numerals against a black background. No context, but it could only have been the Dow. I mentioned it at a dinner party that night and had two guys waiting for me to leave my townhouse the next day with checks in hand looking to partner up. And no, I don't think that's psychic ability. In your case it's more hubris than psychic. What I am getting at is that approaching the mkt from that mindset spells doom. There are a lot of smart ppl willing to take your money.
Fair. Trading's easy until it's not. Then it's a long, difficult journey. Mine's been 3+ years... so far. I hope happy isn't under the impression it will keep working without effort. It's already going down hill: you were in Career Trader, now demoted to Chit Chat.
I was expecting better humors from muggle world elite traders. Here 99% are male? No female here? I am female, so I think different from u elite traders. Anyway, u guys might be right, I should just shut up and make money myself. By the way, the world trend is different now, most individual trader can't compete with the big guys. I know they found the key element which individual will never have access.
