zora... regarding the men... Guess "cold, ruthless and aggressive" sounds a bit harsh? LOL I know that it is my tendency to over-analyze everything and don't react quickly enough. I remember a while back a discussion on this thread about exiting "day trades gone bad" and Tony was questioning what makes exiting a trade that is turning so hard. It just seems that, for the most part, I read that exiting losing trades is a more common problem for women traders than men. I too hate to admit I am wrong and then soon find myself wishing for the stock to recover, only to have it sink lower. I wrestle with the use of actual stops verses mental ones...I usually don't follow my mental ones. I am also still searching for what works best for me, so have a tendency to waver in my beliefs. I am sure...I hope...that time and experience will help me to "find my trader self", and I know that I have to be more aggressive in my approach as well as learn to trust my own judgement and instincts.
