I think reverse vouchers would work quite nicely. All we need is to add a "hes a dick" button.
Ohhh, a de-vouch. I like it!

hey man not many of us out here who didnt start out consistantly losing...
this game is about wits and attrition... if u r still standing after 3-5 years in this biz u r most likely gonna have some semblance of success u know?

I got the in with the strippers.... Ill def bring them to the RU party... u have any particular flavor u enjoy?

Thanks, V!

the risk management (overleveraging wise) was a HUGE problem for me. i am pretty sure i am over that one. next one is BANKING THEM TRADES! still working here...

... I tend to vouch for people (when I actually am) whom show that they have at least some idea of what they are doing, are willing to help others as well, and understand that risk management is a big part of this game, regardless of the system...

yep.
with a lesser one still valid to 3300.4
i had/have pendings to 3445/48 and went to bed... none were triggered.
looking at it now.. the bounce since the low may need to go to 3430/34 min to complete. R at 3405..
held

i looked at my 5m and saw that we had a short signal a candle back. channel is now down again and i guess i could take the mid with a small risk. but my system doesn't work so well after on low vol and tight ranges. and we are probably heading towards low vol and tight range now...

still if it does go to 91...

ok , let do the tl again , no problem but how long ? always back to 200sma & one time break & hold , may not break for few days also . let play to it's satisfaction . only h1, M5 holg so far & all other tf it is at much higher level , so bear is certain for long time .ther more resist breakdown , the more down may to go .
the culprit may be trying close in red zone !! to back daily fear !!

Same here. It's why I built a simple mathmatical formula based on current equity. It tells me my maximum allowed lots usage. No more leaving it up to my stupid emotions to make that call

i asked a friend and neighbor here that i have been trading with to change the password for my account. we arranged so that i would call him or gtalk him whenever i want to take a trade. and he acted as a filter. so he wouldn't let me enter bigger nanolots than we agreed. he wouldn't let me trade outside my preset trade hours. he wouldn't let me trade after 3 losses. etc.

it worked well for a couple of days. problem was he still quite new at this (1 year or so) so i almost always managed to convince him to do whatever i wanted LOL.

so, responsability is back on my shoulders and i have been behaving...

LOL, that is awesome! I know this has been said by a million people a million times, but "We stand in the way of our own success".

I know I have had countless trades that had I just closed the trade out when price told me I was wrong, I would probably be a millionaire now. But no, I had to hope and pray to the trading gods.... only to be margined out

Hope is one hell of a bugger but then one day, I was like... V... WTF ARE YOU DOING? You know how to trade, you know when you are wrong. Close out your damn orders and flip positions when price says you are wrong. Take your loss and make it back. Simple as that. No hoping or praying that the trade comes back.

Would you share that formula? I'm thinking at different things. This is a good read. Might give you more ideas. It's not only about Risk mgmt., it's also about optimization of your capital.
