They call you paranoid until the worst happens, and in the aftermath they will call you a hero.
Tweetnice, trader or investor? I'm purely a trader, love it and literally addicted to it.
TweetI'm an investor. I make mostly long term investments to facilitate my early retirement. I do keep about 20k on scotttrade to play around with short sales and day trades.

Tweetyes, i am a warrior
Tweetnice trip, you use any alert sites like Investors Underground? Sykes? etc
Tweetnope, i don't listen to nobody about nothing i'm a warrior
my goal is to be a market wizard
TweetI've recently have been trading the FX market. Very liquid market.
Tweetlol, i just reviewed all my fx charts
i was in the dollar with uup, bought a position two days before japan crisis, got out on japan day about even, almost bought it back on wednesday, yet, i had other positions more concerned with, uup moves pretty slow
TweetYa well thats one way to go about it, Imo you can learn something from everyone so I try and read and watch dvds from many different traders to get new ideas on things. Sykes vids are decent intro's, and IU has seminars every 2 weeks that have brought my trading to a new level. They actually have a free 2 week trial def worth checking out.
Tweetlol, i've read 300-400 books on the market, studied every which way, etc. etc.
it's all a process too improve
i take about 5-7 pages of notes on the market, 5-6 days a week, on a yellow tablet by hand,
i'm learning everyday, lol
Tweetsweet man its a never ending process, right now I just use it as a supplement to income my goal of course is to make it full time, however I'm gonna need to step it up a little for that.
Tweetfull time, lol, go work for a hedge fund, you're in jersey man, the center of it all
tell me how what and why about your trades
TweetYa dream job Hedge Fund Manager, however very difficult to get. My cousins Husband is one and makes stupid money. I am primarily a short seller, fav set up being the late day fade w/ break under consolidation. I go long too but just not nearly as successful at that. Trade OTCs for the most part, some nasdaq, almost never am/ex b/c the spreads are usually too big for me. And NYSE you have to deal with too many variables. I like $0.50 to $10 stocks for longs, I'll go up to $30 or so for s/s.
Tweetso, u trade one set-up, and out before the close?
hedge fund, go over too businessinsider.com article on working for a hedge fund, how to get in the door, knock the fck on it, trust me it ain't hard
