Going off half-cocked isn’t an option.

Unfortunately my reply to your post above, explaining that your comment draws an incorrect inference, appears to have been moderated out. The fact that I have been on this site since 2005 with over 1500 posts (albeit on another name) ought to at least allow me to make a comment without your dismissive attitude. However, it is your right to do so but it just convinces me even further that there is less and less to be gained from this site, especially for beginners. No hard feelings -- I just feel I'm wasting time here better spent trading.

Hmmm.

Firstly, I'm a nearly absolute newb myself who's read most of the articles. I too used to wonder what motivates people, who are actually competitors, to assist each other. I've seen this phenomenon both in the IT and the Bodybuilding worlds, and you can hardly get two more different groups.

Truth is, people DO like to help. Of course, the higher you climb the giddy heights of wealth, the less likely you are to be any kind of writer, or if not, the less inclination and time you have to do so, especially so in such a zero-sum, aquisition-minded pursuit like Trading, but not everyone is stripped out, because the number of millionaire traders who enjoy writing, or the number of adept traders who are not motivated by great wealth, are, by sheer force of statistics, a number greater than zero.

What reigns above all that, in every sense, is the fact that every Trader has a different mindset.
Ultimately each of us is responsible for his own development, in any arena of life. Prepare, Do, Review, Rinse and Repeat.

Well, as for a beginner, I think the article was a great help.

I have read 2-3 tips per trading day and got to the last rule in 2 weeks. During this time I've closed 15 bets (some of them positive and some not).

As a result, I feel a lot more comfortable with the trading process and know what I should learn next.

The bottom line is a big "Thank You" to Ms. Barlett :-)
