".....I did much better when I didn't use leverage and traded longer swings....... Maybe timing is wrong except for very large timeframes. It sounds like a great idea but it's very difficult in the real world........" Refreshing to see such honesty At the Ask. You'll probably be one of the survivors in the trading game with such insights. Just my opinions based solely on my realities but I found the real money is from the big moves and not trying to finesse every little wiggle and squiggle. I found the money comes from reacting and not predicting or anticipating. I found the money comes from adding to winners and never adding to a loser. The books with their allure of unlimited wealth make trading seem so easy. Funny though how most are written by those who have never done it themselves on a consistent basis. And stay away from options unless you are into some of the more arcane strategies.
