What's your favourite part of the trading experience?

[dmedin]

Which of the typical trading experiences do you love the most?  Expound thereon, prithee.

1) Losing money

2) Feeling of desperation

3) Revenge trading/overtrading

4) Crashing into suicidal depression

5) Staring down the barrel of the gun

Cheer up Dmedin, it could get worse.. You could be shorting the Dow. Or voting for Trump. As for revenge trading, simply give it a miss, over trading same. Losing money is a fact when trading, just as making it is. Suicidal dispression? Never. Desperation? Methinks not.  Believe in yourself, she'll be alright mate (as the kiwis say). 

Take a break and clear your mind. Walk or swim or just go somewhere conducive to relaxation. Give screens a miss, then come back, trust your instincts and rationale and knock some trades out of the park. Rage trading is bad for the body, soul and wallet. 

Don't forget to relax and take time for yourself.

You forgot to add a 6th option:

6) Looking for attention from other traders with sh*t posts

A very apt description of yourself, Mr 'I don't look at charts but I develop algorithms that ask questions of themselves because that is obviously far easier'

I only wanted to post to trigger your OCD issues.

I know you like you to see your name against every post on the main page.

So have you been sitting on your 4rse all day letting your algo rake in the money while I've been sweating my guts off trying to trade and sharing most of them on the forum for other people to fade?  Then you come on here and answer one simple question about API keys and then tell me that I'm sh!t.  Well aren't you the big man who knows it all

[jlz]

You don't think that your posts with trading view screenshots worth anything, do you?

[dmedin]

I know I'm sh!t anyway

For me they are useful, yes.

You don't think you've ever posted anything useful, do you?  Not even remotely ...

[jlz]

We all loose money and we don't go crying around like babies.

Post your history from this week, that will be useful for some. Maybe they can learn from your mistakes.

 

[dmedin]

I've been posting my history all week.  Go ahead and post your wonderful algo written in C# so we can all get rich.  

Not interested in any of your fancy-schmany 'advanced risk management' library or algorithm cr4p.  I know my limitations.  And if you're not interested in charts then feel free to f*k off.

Post a spreadsheet with your trades from this week, let's see how you have lost money. With times, markets and sizes, let's see if that cry is based on anything worthy.

Who the f*k are you to sit there and issue me with orders?

F*k off mate.

And I said already, I am not interested in your pish.

[Geo666]

Clearyl you don't know what you are doing in the markets, one suggestion is to read the Disciplined Trader and Market Wizards, it has helped me out quite a bit.

I'm shy and don't speak like this in real life BTW.

Your personality is very well defined in many articles. There is one big reason behind Facebook's usual way of creating a user in an online forum. People speak very differently when they can't hide behind a username. If you had to use your real name you wouldn't insult like that. You have shown yourself in many posts over the years, don't worry, we know who you are.

[THT]

To be fair to him - I went through a really bad period in the 2000's where everything I looked at turned out to be utter **** - my personality is that of precision, exactness etc and it took a lot of years to overcome this with markets being as they are and I did rather rudely challenge people claiming this and that - so I can see where he's coming from

That being said there's no excuse for some of his posts and comments

In your case I would call you a c*nt to your face.

Since you're Swedish.

1) Because it works and more importantly 

2) Because it annoys the hell out of you

I get more satisfaction from #2 than I do from the money #1 creates

For me it's No 2  
In life you either need inspiration or desperation. As I don't have any inspiration in me, desperation it is
One day I will make it. Say that again. One day I will make it.
Until then, oh that desperation gives me chills every night

Also why is everyone so angry at dmedin? - Without him the forum would be empty and fun-less.

You should thank him for keeping it going after all. So thanks pal 🙏

actually more people would contribute if they felt they could express an opinion without some ignorant little troll jumping up and down insulting and flaming them at every opportunity.

The perpetual negativity in the face of any evidence to the contrary gets extremely tiresome and leads people to better trading forums where the moderators actually take an interest and stamp out blatant flaming.

I don't think so, Tom.

Still waiting to see some of your trades, BTW.

How was that about that you are shy in real life?

That kind of cute victimism that you pulled out from one of your multiple personalities

Are you back at insulting like a caveman again?
