just popped in from the sun m8.
do you think some people need to stop trading?
eg-traded for 10yrs and lost money-keep no records and bury their heads in the sand?
i had a go yrs ago on a 20k account and made a little but found it stressful and life sapping.
i eventually threw in the towel
Got some gardening for you Lee if your at a loose end, Im going to make a start anytime now
Never rains when you want it too...
Hi mate,
Definitely for some people. Some treat it like gambling and although there are similarities, they are actually worlds apart. If someone has been trying for many years with countless cash down the drain, I wouldn't necessarily say that's a reason to give up. On the contrary, keep trying and never give up on your dreams. Whatever they may be or how hard it seems. Never give up. Having said that, that doesn't mean to say that person has to keep bleeding cash, paper trade instead. And as always keep excellent records.
We learn from our failures.

Are you profitable ?Have you any evidence ?Is this a shark baiting new fish?

I do. My question when to take profit wait for the trade to peter out? Should I wait for price to show its hand and reverse somewhat, losing a bit o'profit or get out while trending still and leave something on the table
Can you help ME?
Hi Piphoe,
First of all, don't be confused. Now here's the hard and somewhat controversial part. A trade is always set before you place the trade. The most important part is exit, not entry. Contrary to popular belief. If the entry is wrong or a mistake has been made, chop the trade and take the hit. Now here's the fun part: when you make a trade, stick by it. Do or die attitude. Don't listen to reports, news, your friends or anything else that may sway you. F**k em all. More importantly, don't listen to yourself. You make the trade (your bed), lay in it till the end. In other words, follow your plan through. If it doesn't work, evaluate after the event not during.

Hi Lee
Have you ever traded for or on behalf of someone else such as an investor or via a joint venture? Do you think someone like yourself could turn a good profit trading for someone else with say a £250k bank roll or is that too small?

Hi Lee,
I'm having a lot of trouble convincing Atilla to swap sides and become a fully paid up patriotic Brexiteer.
Am I wasting my time or is there still hope?
Hi lee.
Whats your view on stop and market orders?
I only use limit orders these days for everything, getting in getting out win lose or draw. I see it as permanently seeking value. If the market is 10 I wana buy 9 / sell 11.
Good to see you back.
Cheers
