  2. Look, my trading is like making skateboard tricks.........

    You have learned your tricks and you know how to skate right, to stand them and have a nice run and feel great........

    So, just let it flow, you know how to do it.

    Concentrate and do it right. Stand your tricks.

    Always controll the risk.

    I often think, why the fuck to i controll the risk, because i am right almost in all my predictions........but i then tell my self, you have your stop there, because do you really want to be in this trade - when price have gone there ??? I say then back: No, this would be not perfect. So let the stop be there where it is and its good.

    I controll the risk and let the profits run, to fullfill the pattern.
    Only in a given time, if its not working, i am out.

    Setups are just skateboard tricks, you must learn how to stand them. Try and try so long until you made it and then never do it wrong again - its like learning ride a bike - once you have it, you have it.
    YOU MUST STAND OVER ALL THE SHIT YOU HAVE TO DO - NO THINKING - JUST DOING -
    LET IT FLOW................FOCUS.........ZOOM..........

    Bloodsucking skateboarding.

    Pussys will be slaughtered.

    HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA

    PEACE:p :p :p

    High Head: HATEtheRisk

  4. Can Trading be easy?

    When you have the keys can trading be "not Gambling"?

    When a person has the keys can he gamble? and when a trader does not have the keys can he "not gamble"?

    Can experience lead to "not gambling"?

    Please do not forget to vote.

  5. When one trader wins and one trader loses...who is "not gambling" the most?

    or...

    was it just luck?

    ES

    P.S. If a trader loses less does that mean he does "not gamble" ?

  8. Anything is a gamble unless you know 100% what the outcome will be. And in trading you dont know 100% what the outcome will be so of course it is gambling.

  9. Let's look at this a slightly different way. Is trading a game?

    Consider - BAC trades on average 277,172,000 shares a day. There is no economic justification for this number of shares to be traded on a daily basis.

    277,000,000 + shares are traded daily because trading is a game played by a lot of people.

  10. I am in disagreement with this statement.

    So if you study hard, graduate and take your PhD you are "gambling" because you dont know whether you will get your dream job ?

    Everything (including matter) has some uncertainty but for this reason we don't say that we are gambling all the time ...

    (or we might also say so, but then the term would lose its capacity to connotate the specific phenomenon).
