Hear you there. It's how I lost my first OneUp Trader eval last week - letting the market 'breathe' while in trades. Tight stops certainly didn't...
Good points. Not as if I'd never been burned going short! Last week was a good example of that - the markets were so panicky I should've stayed...
Yup Sekiyo, but as I was saying there are problems with that, one I noticed right away- the cursor moves opposite from how I move my hand. And I...
Thanks trdes, not a waste of time at all! You've made valid points. I will say that I've long since lost count of the number of times I've had to...
Thanks Ilan. Still waiting for responses! I do think a feature like that would be great to add to any platform. For those with my problem, it...

Copy that LacesOut :-) Actually Fan27 also has a good point re programming. I may create and license a program via e.g. Quantopian. There's more...
I hadn't intended to return to anything having to do with trading during that time - it was just ongoing curiosity, thinking I might notice...
True hedge fund investors borrowing/leveraging against assets isn't tapping a credit card, they live in a different world. I did learn they do...
Agreed it is a bad idea. But, having some hard-won experience compels finding a way to re-enter this work. Stats of 96% failure by 'small...
