Young man, your enthusiasm is heartening. Congratulations on your success. I hope you will not think it rude of me however to suggest that gloating over one's successes in trading is hardly ever a good idea. Now show us that you have good judgment as well as good trading skills by hanging on to your fortune. Even Livermore died broke.
That advice is a dime a dozen, and even cheaper on Weekends. Tell us something we don't know. What passes for trading wisdom around here is kindergarten level homilies. And I seriously doubt the poster has any business risking 50% on anything based on any method or knowledge. That's pure ego and it will almost certainly bite him shortly.
This is a typical ET response. There's a lesson to be learned here somewhere; if you can find it. I'm not sure what kind of reply you were looking for. Did you want to get into an argument?
I think what is going on is that 99% of ET folks here don't have an edge but are trading according to some very common indicators like RSI or MACD those who are slightly smarter use pivots and tick tick etc but most guys wouldn't know an edge if it sucked them off that is why they play very conservatively hell I would too my edge is insider info BTW
What exactly does this mean? You put a stop at exactly half the price you paid? I suggest you do a lot more listening than talking for a few more years ... (You have "insider info" that the nasdaq is going down tomorrow??? That is some insider.)
pattersb boy, if you don't know what that line means. you are just a school boy, or school girl god damn it guys, stop shorting NQ I need it to go up a bit cause I want to short some more last time I give a tip
I simply asked you a question, you little puke. Explain yourself or shut-the-fuck-up ... I suspect you mean opening a position with half your assets, but that hardly constitues a "BET of half your portfolio", unless made by a complete idiot ... I'll be sure to step over you when you end up in the gutter. Your type always does. Here are your choices, remain quiet and look like a fool, or open your mouth and prove it...
