What a refreshingly honest post ! I think that if you can keep a level head and "reset" yourself after every trade you are on the way to being a better trader, it is so hard not to revenge trade and try to "get your money back" Look at the way professional sportsmen seem to do this with ease...

That is a good point Atilla, I am over 50, and seem to take longer to warm up than an old compact flourecent light bulb ! Do you still have the link to the study ?

I do cycling twice a week, but here is something for you to have a laugh about! I still find it difficult to separate work/reward from trading, I know it sounds ridiculous, and I know it is ridiculous, but when I am out cycling, I can't stop myself from thinking if I push a little harder my...

I have to disagree with most of the previous comments. I think most of the bad news is already factored into the price, and It seems that everyone is bearish at this point, and that is not a good sign. I wouldn't want to take a long term bet at this point, but I think if we just get a period...

What a great website that is, not seen that before. Thanks Jungles :clap:

Does it wotk the other way with SB firms ? So if you had been stopped out at a loss due to an error, do they refund your account at some later date ?

Re: Market Volatility Expected to Continue Today as Non-Farm Payrolls Awaits I don't like making predictions as it always seem to make you look stupid :o but, I think that there seems to be so much anticipation of this number, that if Non Farms comes in anywhere around the concensus, we will...

Well another rise, to be honest I am really surprised http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8485891.stm I am looking to buy a house at the moment, and apart from loads more properties coming onto the market, I don't see a rising market, it seems lots of properties are "open to offers" and are...

Have you considered InteractiveBrokers http://www.interactivebrokers.co.uk/en/main.php I find them cheap and reliable, not really for you if you need your hand held though Cheers Graham

Trendie, You bring up a really important point about how much value your job has. Many people think that just a job with lots of money is all they need, but this is not the case. I had a period at work, I am in IT, where the work just disappeared and I went to work and didn't do anything all day...

Well looks like Atilla and Zambuck are right :smart: I must say I am astounted that all the negative factors haven't led to a 2nd dip:confused: Oh well, got to be wrong some of the time Cheers Graham

maybe your right Zambuck, but if I had a pound for everytime someone said "its different this time because..." I would have one of the holiday homes in the link posted by cloud321 on this thread.:cool: Back in the 80's there were similar arguments about why the Japanese market could not go down...

Hmmm... I remember the last housing boom, when the talk was. " it will soon be like Japan where mortgages have to be passed on to your Children" It seems the talk is a little different now Japan housing is at a 24 year low !
