Which **** goes to a doctor who works half assed?If a doctor can not work part time ,how can a trader /gambler?

How can you buy a bag of sugar that could turn out to be sour?How can you put on a trade which could turn out wrong?

How can a part time driver be driving at 150 miles an hour whilst trying to do another job?Trading is driving on autobahn at 150 miles/hr, blind monkeys end up dead on side of Autobahn.


Trading in my opinion is a full time occupation,requiring concentration every minute.

It's not possible for oilgaytrader to trade full time or part time, but everyone else should welcome his participation in the markets.

I think, odt, for all our differences, we can both agree that people who put other posters on ignore are wusses, can't we

For once in my life I agree.

Whenever I trade full time with full concentration, energy , drive passion and aggressively and with my marbles I end up profitable on the day.

If I try and do it part time it is break even day , so I never trade half days or half hearted.

Trading in my opinion is no more difficult than driving on a 150 mph motorway.

 

[oildaytrader]

Loads of doctors work part time, the lazy feckers.

However, a lot of peeps gamble part time, cos they cant afford to sustain the losses full time gambling would result in, shame really.

The ***** can't see an expanded heart or a dislocated elbow from an xray.He was just not concentrating on xray.

Okay here's the word from the seriously self-proclaimed idiot. Please ignore all words following this sentence.

There are day traders, swing traders and position traders obviously. Then there are discretionary traders and system traders.

All system traders can do it part-time, but the learning process is full-time. Discretionary day-traders is the hardest because you have to sit in front of a screen and "wait" for a signal.

Although I have a very successful day-trader friend who has a full-time job, not because he has to, but because it's a job that helps children. He also trades money for various funds. But he won't quit. So he has a specific window (from Australia) of time that he looks for signals, around specific news events, and specific openings. The rest of the day/night he doesn't care.

So depends on what time zone you sleep in, and the time zone you trade in. But the learning and studying goes past full-time and is more like double-overtime.

The steepest part of my My learning curve in this business was full time and then some....now I trade 5hrs a day on 90% of days. I am a discretionary day trader operating from a 1min or 5min t/f trigger for the most part (sometimes 15min but not higher.) I choose to trade multiple set-ups on 1 x instrument as opposed to fewer set-ups across mu;tiple instruments. The multi set-ups and the concerntration on one instrument plus the low t/f trigger means that I can generally achieve my soft daily target/hard weekly target in this amount of hours. Having a hi-probability trading edge and the patience and discipline to follow the plan means that although my trading hours are what some would call part time, I am able to maximise the time spent at the screens by using variable leverage depending on the confidence I have in the set-up (which is pre-determined.)

I don't believe that you necessary have to spend every waking moment at the screens...there are other ways of doing it and mine is one of them. This said time I spend away from the screens does still involve learning/reading connected with my trading career.

I think you must have been on something writing this...?!
but anyway, I trade part time, but that's because I trade on medium term time scales (1-3 months), ie. a position trader... So of course you can, that's what position traders do. I'm glad I don't have to stare at charts all day long... just once a day suffices!
But of course you knew that...

Do you have another occupation?If not it could be considered full time.

 

[bbmac]

Do you have another occupation?If not it could be considered full time.

No, I do not have another occupation...and in the sense of 'Do I spend every waking moment at the screens, or even what might be considererd a full time day - 8hrs? then the answer is No.

 

[leonarda]

odt, I do think you need to open yourself up to "other" ways, I have a feeling you're possibly a bit "blinkered"..? just like those carriage horses....

[oildaytrader]

I thought you traded a fully automated strategy ?, or did you forget that ?

I have two games on the forex table, one is automated by robots and another is me sitting in front of the screen 8 hours a day.The robots operate separately.

I like your trading styles and time frames and believe it is the only way to be consistently profitable.Your trading style sounds very robust.I trade similarly .
