    I'm a swing trader that likes fundamentals and stats. Candlesticks are good for timing entries and exit's Really enjoy reading financial statements.
    There are so many ways to trade, just keep experimenting until you find your niche.
    And the most important thing is money management, "no money, no trade".
    Best of luck! :)

    Look, I don't feel like talking about myself right now. But I have to say, if you are consistently losing then you need to stop, at least temporarily. It's been my experience that people who lose want to lose, deep down. There's no excuse for it after awhile. Pause, regroup. You may find that when you come back you see everything differently, more clearly. You can't see well when you are losing.

  3. Why only guys? Women do it too. :) Even better sometimes, we have very strong sense of intuition, I guess you've already found out that.
    And yes, it's my career. It's quite risky, but I like it. :cool:

    Out of the gate (starting out) - women are typically more level headed (less ego / less hesitant to exit a loser).., hence manage risk better

    I think "guys" has morphed into more of an androgynous term, can be used with either gender, at least in Toronto.
