just friends

kathy on lasting relationships.......

If you need instant gratification, trading on daily charts may not be suitable for you. On the other hand, if you are a more relaxed and patient person, you may not be able to stomach the volatility of 5- or 15-minute charts. Money can and has been made trading any time frame, just make sure you find one that is right for you.

warning signs

kimberly, on net addictions......

But right behind those is online-trading addiction. Kimberly Young, a Pittsburgh psychologist and founder of the Center for Online Addiction, says compulsive online traders are overwhelmingly young and male, are big risk-takers and trade heavily on margin (using money borrowed from their brokerage).

intelligent traits

british intelligence from 'the intelligent investor' himself......

//---
“The determining trait of the enterprising investor is his willingness to devote time and care to the selection of securities that are both sound and more attractive than the average. Over many decades, an enterprising investor of this sort could expect a worthwhile reward for his extra skill and effort in the form of a better average return than that realized by the passive investor.” Ben Graham in “The Intelligent Investor”, 1949.

self control

dan on controls or lack of......

//---
A trader who doesn’t understand the difference between the aspects of trading he controls and those he does not is in for a rude awaking. In general, people try to control a situation in order to get what they want or in order to avoid surprises and the experience of fear.

This approach does not work when applied to trading. The trader soon finds out he does not control the market’s behavior. Even large traders’ influence on the market is only temporary. The fact is, no trader can control the market, and this lack of control can be unsettling for some. A trader may hesitate putting on a trade, or feel that he is out of control and doesn’t know how to take the next step.

sounds like dan the man has found control..... or at least knows where it used it last.....h

experienced targets

danielle, on setting profit targets......

//---
Experienced traders don’t just wake up in the morning and say, let’s make 25 pips today and that’s it. Setting a target should not be based on thin air. The prediction should be derived from your trading system, which includes lots of parameters and overall past experience.

non discriminating missions

teresa on mission ispossible......

In 1987, a newly minted university graduate, I joined a brokerage firm. I could not find anyone who consistently traded profitably. I blew out my account twice in the early days,
,,,,,,

These people were trading their egos. I thought it would be a good idea to just trade like Forrest Gump and make money instead

an aristocrats secret recipe

the baron on cooking up success......

Old Baron Rothschild's recipe for wealth,winning applies with greater force than ever to speculation.

Somebody asked him if making money in the Bourse was not a very difficult matter, and he replied that, on the contrary, he thought it was very easy.

"That is because you are so rich," objected the interviewer.

"Not at all. I have found an easy way and I stick to it. I simply cannot help making money. I will tell you my secret if you wish.

It is this: I never buy at the bottom and I always sell too soon."

i need to follow his recipe......h
