whenever you see that 50 tick move, remember some poor sod got stuck at the top/bottom! this emotion is what gives such a powerful edge in the market, just make sure it aint you ;)

If I ever let a trade go against me 50 ticks I think it's time to call it quits haha.

i can still remember trading trump laying @ 10.0, & being stubborn enough to hold & add on the pullbacks - still makes me feel sick! :oops:

Stupid, lazy and naive dude lost 30 grands to some hypothetical Soros. Don't have any hard feelings about that dude - you know you are little cheeky fish swimming in an awfully deep, deep ocean with a terrible Cthulhu beast down there instead of swimming in a little warm and cosy river (like Betfair). That's what you get for being like that.

I think we have all been there with regards to emotion, not necessarily with regards to his eye watering loss.

I had a period of recording myself. Just so I could note my emotions and train of thought when making specific trades. However, I never realised just how much I swear now due to this job. I swear with delight, I swear with satisfaction, I swear uncontrollably when I lose

A previous poster said this job had given him Tourettes, I second that!
