    Now that's funny. When I saw the thread title I was going to reply "I think". And there you are.

    Go Lucy.

  3. my mind has been poisoned by "I think" for the last three weeks with trades. garbage.

    I just wrote this to my wife in email after going for an abysmal performance this morning (obv done on the day).

    No. You know or you don't. If you know, you take it. If you don't, you wait until you do or until the next one comes. PERIOD.

    I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning. If you know how to enter a breakout, then do it. If you don't, then don't. Then learn how to enter a breakout for the next time.

  6. Blame others
    Others = banks, hedge funds, mm, your broker, ET posts, mentor, your neighbours, wall street, chart, indicator, timing, internet, broker platform .. The list goes on and goes on

    No. You know or you don't. If you know, you take it. If you don't, you wait until you do or until the next one comes. PERIOD. (x234034895934853495)
