I don't believe in that rite-of-passage shiite. It is not. I had a big chunk of my trading account pulled away, but I did not blow out. If my account was smaller, then sure, it would have been blown out. This blown-out" stuff needs to be re-examined, re-assessed. Nuh uh, I do not believe it.
And seriously...Dude? You are trying to engage in trading discussions with your iPhone? What is wrong with a computer? Do you also try to TRADE with your iPhone? Have we all gone bat-shit crazy about smartphones, and have forgotten about the rules? Mark it zero! (Heh).
I know, right?! Android all the way! On a serious note, one of my biggest weeks of the year was trading on my phone on the beach. This said, it was one symbol only that I had the setup before going to the beach. But it was a solid 4 or 6 trades with a 100% win rate. Felt very blind when I got home though, took me about two days to get back into where the market was going.
It's not nice to say things behind people's back....but DS strikes me as a flake trader, He's an elderly hippie-looking male, who looks like he doesn't come from a business/finance background or have any experience in these areas, And on his first day of live trading...he said he overslept because he was buzzed or something like that, Probably blew his acct, or took a significant hit, -- and left with his tail between his legs, (I would Love to be proved wrong or otherwise though) The finance world takes no prisoners... you have to know what you're doing and have a certain degree of balls and brains and fortitude, and common sense, wisdom, Bragging about good Days or Weeks is kind of meaningless in the market -- People who do that...are kind of bound to give it all back or more, Talk about your Overall performance...that's the only thing that matters,
Yes...trading is absolutely full of paradox. I never knew how much one must work on themselves. I do monitor positions from iPhone. Sorry ON. (Insert one of those faces)
