    yes!. cause i'm nerve wreck after years of a daytrading . not a healthy hobby guys. stay away from it.
    today is a typical day for me- grabbed some stocks that my soft picked. before lunch-I'm 1K in the money,but according to my 'rules' i have to hold till EOD. i'm holding and as for now-my PnL is a f** zero. on 5 stocks stop loss been hit. so-the day passed and i ended up stressed,angry,frustrated and with NO MONEY. IB makes more from me than i do.rinse and repeat for 12 f* years

  4. Maybe you need to change your trading rules. Up $1000 for the day and your rules say hold to the end of the day ?? I would have been out of that position before noon. I have been Day Trading for 14 years however not for a living , been in the markets since 1986. The only hard fast rule I have is not to let a small loss turn into a big loss , and not to let a profit turn into a loss.

    then what for?

    it's simple statistics,backed by numerous tests. i can change it off course,but i know the outcome already-once you change it-it will be exact opposite. the software records everything thru the day. the moment you close it(assuming that 1K is 'enough')-PnL will shoot up vertically to 2K or more. been there,done that.

  6. I run a business from home so I can trade on the side . In other words I don't have the type of pressure you have to make a living day trading.

  7. uhm noo.... that doesnt sound right. calories is still calories

    the reason keto diets work is because they suppress hunger. So you feel full at 1500 calories instead of 2000 calories because of the lack of carbohydrates.

    so keto diet is basically a form of fasting without the hunger feeling...
