Er, no, actually its a ref to a Russ Meyer film, so the dude obviously has a big tit fixation - probably overmothered as a child/bottle fed. Are you sitting comfortably.....*yawn*
You are at the zero point. Good trading is boring. So it goes for all those who lose miserably cauase they search for excitement in trading. Find something to do to pump yourself up and get your juices flowing. Keep trading, just get the rush somewhere else. I don't know what it would be for you. But find it and keep trading, please. We need more people who have discovered what you have hanging around. Or, find a non=damaging way to push yourself in trading, so you feel the excitement and wonder, while you maintain a good equity curve.
Fasterpussycat, Congratulations! It sounds like you are experiencing a great deal of success. Despite your assessment, that's not an easy thing to consistently achieve in this business. I don't know how long you've been at this game, however I suspect not that long given your comments. If I am mistaken, please accept my apologies in advance. It has been my observation that overtime market conditions change quickly and dramatically and trading approaches and strategies must adapt with them in order to succeed. That approach which seems easy (and therefor boring) in the current environment can (and surely will) cease to be relevant without a moments notice. I have been at this for over 25 years and work with/and have worked with some of the best and most successful names in the business. I have never come across anyone worth their weight in salt that felt that the attempt to extract a profit from the market (in an honest way) was anything but the most difficult and challenging work they've endeavored to pursue.
There is also another saying in Greece about a bottle with coins: When you get married then the first year every time you make love then put a coin in a bottle. After the first year every time you make love you take a coin out of the bottle. The bottle will not get empty in your life. M.
Yes FP, please do it then you'll find out how easy it is. And then tell us about it. You remind me of the story of the newbie trader in the pit with a handful of charts. And there was this old trader and he asked: "Son, what are those?" And newbie proudly: "Do you see this line here, Sir? Well that is called resistance and then the market will turn down. And that line there is called support, and that is where the market will go up." Old trader: "And the other line below that support?" "Oh, that is a very strong support, that will not be broken!" Old trader: "Is that so son?" And the old trader proceeded to sell 5000 cars and the price blew through all the support levels that the newbie had on his chart. "Sonny, those lines you mentioned, what was supposed to happen at them?" I have got a feeling that bone may be (like) the old trader. Maria
