Hi Tidion, I'm sure you do call it like YOU see it, for, "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." Anais Nin I have been around these forums for quite a while; although, it has been sporadic at times, and I have not always been very ...

Ronyn76, Some of the best traders in history have blown their account, some more than once; don't let that discourage you. Learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others, and resign yourself to not making those same mistakes again. $1200 will ...

Hi Tidion, I wish you luck as well. I have been at this game longer than you, and my advice is watch WHAT you listen to. The message is more important than the messenger. Now I understand that a venue like this is full of bad advice from individuals ...

Hi Tdion, Perhaps you found Chris's post boring (for some of us it is things that we know or have heard before), but at least his post is something that adds value to this thread (something you have not done, but I truly wish you would aspire to ...

Hi Maarten, I sense your frustration, and I think that most traders can relate to that. Trading is hard way to make an easy living, despite what late-night infomercials may claim. The failure rate for any endeavor that requires talent, skill, and ...
