Now I'm convinced that 4Dtrader is just a troll. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=128230
Yes, its possible to get to a place where you can do other things, but you need to check on things throughout the day, and you may miss setups. I would also suggest that if you get yourself into a draw down, stop trading for a few days, and review your mistakes to see how you could do things better in the future.
Ok, let be honest here. After you place an order, you surf porn. There is no Lowes or mowing or shelf building. Maybe shellacking the salami, but come on...
No, 4DTrader is an Idiot. This is his OP in his "I quit - trading is too tough for me thread": People told me I needed a plan, so I made a trading plan. But I changed my plan hundreds of times literally, because I changed it every day after a losing or winning day, and I have traded actively, part-time, for one year since May 2007. People told me I needed to follow the plan, so I put the plan between the monitor and me, and I stared at the plan every minute. But I just couldn't follow the plan. As soon as I entered a trade, I forgot the plan, ignored the plan, and started to do whatever I was led to do. So I have decided that trading is not for me. I quit! I will not trade anymore! I don't want to spend several more years doing this (I heard it needs 5 years, too long for me). This is 4DTrader at His Wal-Mart (really) job
Moron, if you are convinced so easily, how can you trade in the market? The market must have convinced you in a hundred variations. Idiot!
I refrain from surfing the porn, because some porn sites spread viruses and hurt my computer. Or you do it on a different computer?
Do not follow me everywhere, traderzones! Let me correct your mistake: I do not work at Walmart anymore, I work at Walgreen now.
