    You are like my female friend who is impulsive and trades with abandon without any risk management and trade in huge size. She has lost seven figures in the stockmarket. Now, she trades one lots but, makes the same mistakes since, she refuses to make and use a trading journal. I have a smaller account but, take profits here and there but, spend it to pay bills as I am retired. I can trade better by cutting on my mistakes that I have no doubt of. It does not matter if you have a small account or a million dollar account, if you do not practice risk management, you will lose your monies! Believe it or not, "you are your own worst enemy."

    i am also retired.
    with a world wide depression coming we all have to make money in the markets
    my aim is to make 2 pips a trade, only 4 times, a day, with one full lot:
    then i will earn the same, as my wife, who works as a manager, quality control, in a pharma company, with 25 years experience.
    Today in 5 trades, lot size .6, profit taken 2 pips, i have already made 66 usd and there is still 12 hours of trading day left. if i make this every day, i will earn double that which my wife is earning.that is what makes trading attractive.
    i am not saying this is easy but that is my target

  7. trading is not difficult
    learning to see the markets operation is difficult for many
    once that is complete, trading becomes easy

    that is your opinion only
    if the others have have the same opinion let them confirm it.ET does not belong to you for my posts to be called junk mail.
    Let us see how many people agree with you.
    I do not live to post here; i am only doing it to help some who are humble enough to accept that they need help.so i am expending a lot of effort posting here in ET

    if many more agree with you than i will post only in my journal my live trades:because i would not want those learning Technical analysis,who have spent years studying it, to think that technical analysis is hog wash.
    my journal will be proof that technical analysis is not hog wash
