    How to prevent trading turning into gambling...

    rav700 It should be rule number one not to "loose (lose?) the profit you earn in a day and some of your equity". A good trader should have some method of banking some of the profits as they occur thereby reducing the risk for the rest of the life of the trade. I often watch "the weakest link"...

    finding a strategy

    I look forward to that ketank! Especially as I haven't read Van Tharp myself. I think I've done my fair share of going out of my way to find and read trading books. Now I do the boring bit: waiting for the market to come to me! Nicos

    Money management

    Why don't you use the excellent search facility at the top of this page? You will find more than enough info, I'm sure. I think the "advanced search" will narrow your findings to the more relevant ones

    Experiment

    Tony, The way it looks is that the doctor is the expert and as such should have allowed for the fact that you are possiply loopy (your real illness) and examine you instead of going by what he/she is told. There are market parallels to this. Most are "tricked" by the "market" and and lose. Or...

    Calling all "Senior Members T2W" Experienced traders! Help Newbies?

    I agree with BBB. The originator of this thread asked for what amounts to practical help. I don't think he got any. The thread has turned out to be amongst other things a psychological exchange.

Last week it was also slow but I managed to download it with disastrous consequenses. I must admit that I did not...

    Being a pilot, flying instructor myself, I couldn't resist adding to this. Trading is like flying in bad weather. You need to be proficient in instrument flying. This only comes with experience and and there isn't really that much to teach. You must learn to ignore your sensations and senses...
