      I think it's hard not just because you want to be right, but because you think you can outguess everyone else. I think instant gratification is also a problem -- it should rank right up there with the seven deadly sins... Overleveraging is something ...

      Why so hard?
    • Mr Trend replied Jun 9, 2006

      I use fib levels to determine my scale outs. I enter a trade, set a limit order for the next fib level of 75% of my lots. Once it hits, I move my stop to breakeven, and set a limit order for the next fib level at 15%. If it hits that, I have 10% ...

      He was hired in my department about two years ago and as we became friends, I learned that he was a trader. I've always been interested in the markets, so I started to ask him about them, and then I started trading and then just went to him for ...
