Tradester

Oh yes certainly it's a day-trading mentality. Which is my style. I trade currencies and index futures primarily at this time. I mentored with a very successful trader who takes every day trade with a day and swing portion, if it works out he scales out of the day portion and lets the swing portion run. The swing aspect of it did not fit my personality and I think in general it sort of messed me up with regard to taking day trading profits properly. I had to develop my own style and it took me longer than it should have :crap:

First time poster alert. :ciao: For me it was to start taking profits. Reviewing my trades I had a repeating pattern of letting winners turn to losers instead of taking what the market was offering. Once I started to take a profit and look for the next opportunity instead of always trying to let profits run I began to consistently trade to a positive expectancy. It's a little funny often times folks talk about taking profits too fast, my problem was I was practically never taking profits, I was always looking for the home run.
