    and I am not 100% joking about the rich widow.

    you gotta look at life as a much bigger trade on a bigger broader market... your account is not only limited to your brokerage and bank balances, but for most people, the biggest asset is actually the human capital....even if you earn just $50k a year, you can consider yourself a $1m bond yielding 5% a year.

    that's why a holistic approach, thinking out of the box, how do you manage your entire portfolio, in this game of life, how do you maximize the positive expectancy, instead of boxing yourself inside this zero sum pathetic game called trading..

    that's how I'd approach it.... and rich widow is prolly one of the best positive sum game out there.

  3. You are right. I will NEVER put all my eggs in trading. I contribute 10% to my 401k for the past 10 years. Allll in S&P 500 index. And I work a full time job. Trading is suppose to be ALOT of additional income.

    I'm not too sure about the rich old widow deal. I don't want no old woman , unless she have a big fat plumb peach ass. And can make my toes curl in 10 minutes flat.

    Both!!!

    Just get a good real none BS view of current upto that point direction.
    Wait for market to pull back and an area for a say 5mins to not be breached.
    Try to get in near the low of that area with direction ofcourse.
    Set a SL under that area, little bit of slack incase it spikes and reverses to take out tight rookie SL's
    Then hopefully the trend continues and ride the trend for a long as you dare.

    M1 charts, 42ema and 24ema are my directions of choice.

    Just do above and repeat, repeat, repeat, hard part is sitting around waiting for setup to appear, then hesitating and missing it repeatly.

    Rich Widow is sure something I'd consider, thought i'd bagged 1 10years back Wendy, big house, nice cars, fancy life style, sadly all a front 1Mil in debt, had to sell all and live in a council house, no wonder he had a heart attack, 5ft 2 and 26 stone also didn't help.
