Heck, to further illustrate my point, here's an update: 1.37 with a 75 point stop.. (would have been stopped: -75 points) 1.36 with a 75 point stop.. (would have been stopped: -150 points) 1.35 with a 75 point stop.. (would have been stopped: -225 ...

How does one rationalize holding a trade that's 400+ points in the negative? I mean, even if my long-term objective was, oh, let's say 1.44 - I'd rather get stopped out of multiple attempts to buy than sit on a giant loss. Heck, you could have ...

I dunno, the decision to read the book really wasn't a "process" lol. I just kinda read it. I got it for my brother for his birthday and he never got around to reading it so I just figured "what the hell?" and read it myself. As for fundamental ...

I agree with you, I mean, I took some bits from the book but really, it was just a good story to read before bed is all. You'll have to forgive me if I didn't take into consideration opportunity cost when reading a book as I lie awake in bed.

This thread is still alive? Well, okay, trying to remain topical; personally, I enjoyed "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator". I never looked at it as "trading advice" or a "learning tool" I just really enjoyed the way is was written in that "roaring ...

Exactly. You summed it up right there.

It's that damn pesky "1% margin of error".

I have to say, I'm with Spreadbetter on this. A trading system doesn't need to be incredibly complicated. Adaptability always trumps complexity. I started combing through stories when the Euro started showing signs of falling earlier this week and ...

Building incremental positions is different from a Martingale system as it doesn't involve doubling down mixed with praying. Occasionally, I'll build incremental positions over a small price range. But incremental positioning over hundreds or ...

I was thinking 1.33815 for a shot at a buy: -61.8% retracement from September's low-October's high -Nice little resistance-turned-support -A hefty 3.0% markdown for the week BUUUUUT, since we probably won't be making it there this week, the 3rd ...

While some wonder why the Euro is going down and retail sentiment shifts [as a result of closing out lots of old losing shorts/a few winning ones and and trying to buy dips] others just shorted the friggin thing at the top, on a hunch, and kept ...

Whenever something goes *splat* in the Eurozone, I always see people talking about the collapse of the Euro. I've heard 1.15, 1.10, below parity, doom, doom, gloom, etc, etc.. I'm not much a fundamentals guy but logic would tell me this: The Euro ...

I couldn't imagine making a trade because some headline or talking face on television told me to. Imagine that, someone out there is trying to tell you the "right" thing to do. I remember when CNBC started playing "Money in Motion" (sponsored by ...

I did the same. I read every thread I could diligently, looking for that "holy of grails" - lol. I was surprised how long it took me to realize "Heck, if I just do the opposite as everyone else, all I have left to do is time my entries right and ...
