I don't mind the harsh words tashkent. Sometimes I need it, because I can be as stupid as anyone. I'm a very emotional trader. And I expect close to perfection from myself. When I don't do it, I get angry. I've been trading long enough that I want to be clear that I'm not a newb trader, and I know what I'm talking about. I just don't always do what I say, or say what I do. It's more a problem of my lack of discipline than anything else. Sometimes I daytrade (I usually do -- why didn't I this time?), sometimes I swing trade, and sometimes I invest....
You should feel very fortunate to be young & working to be in a career that gives you many freedoms that most will never have in their lives. As much as you want to get there today, patience will probably get you to your goals faster. I'd give you every dime I have to be your age again even if I was broke & homeless. Patience.

LOL, you're absolutely right. Unfortunately, one of those is not an option for me right now.

I haven't smoked in over two weeks and I'm trying to wean myself off of drugs, including an alcohol dependency, and other god-awful habits. It's not easy, and it probably contributes to my violent mood swings and poor trading.

Fortunately for now, I'm back to even on the day, and now all I have to do is make up for yesterday's losses. I'll get there eventually...

Good luck with it.

In my opinion, it seems to me like taking a break from the intensity of the markets would be a good step.

I think that the best way to deal with stress is to set yourself routines, especially with sleep, good food and exercise. I feel that those things help clear my head and look at the market more rationally. When I am tired and stressed, lucks never in and I end up putting on trades which frankly are ridiculous looking back on it.

If you are trying to break habits, the markets won't help you with managing your emotions but only amplify.

Have to always remember that there are always opportunities. It is your decision but consistency is key to trading successfully.

When I don't do it, I get angry. My system is capable of calling tops and bottoms and reversals and more within 1-5 pips, at most.

in these forums there are gems you will find in no book, my friend. i have read several thousands of very long pages (in several threads) during my first 2 years in FF and that helped me to figure out what i need to trade profitably. i found out that EVERYTHING is about the MINDSET.

think about this: how is it possible to increase your capital despite losing a lot of pips and having too many losing trades??
