    Buy pullbacks at support.
    Sell rallies into resistance.

    Establish criteria your entries.
    Establish criteria for your exits.

    Practice, practice, practice.

    Anyone can do it if they want it badly enough.

    Baron will be happy:a lot of traffic in a useless thread.
    Move it to chit chat.

  3. The biggest risk for independent full-time traders is the opportunity cost, namely the loss of potential gains from other alternative efforts (going to schools, working in a regular job etc.).

    All depends on where they are within their menstrual cycle. For the majority of time, women want the security and benefits that come with Mr. Sensible and his average looks. But, for a few days, normally around ovulation time, women want to bang like a barn door with Mr. Muscle and his rugged looks. It's a scientific fact buddy.

    Everything you do in live has an opportunity cost. Each decision you make has some risk, and that risk can cost money.
    Only in hindsight you can see for every decision you made if it was good or not. Then, and only then, you will know how big the opportunity cost was.
    If you are afraid then don't do anything in life, as everything has an "opportunity cost" risk. Ironically enough doing nothing will cause the biggest "opportunity cost" you can encouter ever in your life.

    Watching in hindsight the decision to become a trader was an excellent one for me, although it took years before that was clear. I had a "temporary opportunity cost" till the day I was permanent profitable.

    If you go for a new job and lose it again you have also an opportunity cost.
    Same thing if you marry; divorced people can tell you how expensive that can be.
    Same thing for buying a house; look at the thousands of foreclosure a few years ago.

    And here I thought Libra were into balance? But one things for sure, it takes two to tango and you two were probably dancing to a different tune?

    "Scales of justice", I think ... maybe means they're judgmental or something (or some other kind of "mental", as I suspect Overnight may have decided)? [​IMG]

    The scale tends to represent balance, as a people we are all judgmental, we just choose to define our own levels. But for a solid relationship to work, its all about Balance and trust.
