    Just keep going short until you run out of money and hope for something bad to happen?

    or for a more cautious approach, wait until something has gone up, but don't chase it, wait for it to pull back but don't buy it until it goes up again and you are sure it is going to keep going up then buy it on the next dip.

    Learn from only the best - there are plenty of long term successful traders, including some of the market wizards, sharing their knowledge these days for free - forget about asking strangers for advice or paying some unknown for training.

    The smart money waits patiently for months and even years to buy during major capitulation events and will ride the profits up to 50-100 +% before taking profits. Every trader should consider having a separate account to do the same. Nothing worse than getting beat by people that make a few trades per year max, yet have a huge account going up at a parabolic pace due to the compounding.

    I need to take the time I spend on ET and spend it on my trading.

  6. STOP wasting time to read posts from losers hanging on ET everyday so you could spend your valuable time to research and master your trading skills.

    It seems that all of us will need the skills improvement in the following year. :) I'd like to determine the risks with maximum precision.

    Trade like the rules require the professionals to trade and buy the minuses and zero minuses and sell the pluses and zero pluses.

    ET traders aren't losers, a recent poll here says 90% are profitable traders.
