Trend Fader said it all, man. I know you've been around for a long time, you must be leaving something out of your post.
Tell us about it!:D
I get the same feeling sometimes when I think about my initial string of losses when I first started out with the indices. Even though I have a...
Thanks for sharing your trading with the board. I like your plan. In fact it's a lot like my intraday plan for the NQ (Pete's Place) in that we...
I spoke a mistruth: there were a few pullbacks in that rally. What I meant in my previous message was that none of those pullbacks were of the...
Today's action shows why I trade both day and swing trade positions: the swing was a scratch but the day trade pulled in some bucks. This helps...
