Last Words of a Trader

[GlassOnion 12]

1. I am comfortable risking 90% of my account on a single trade.

2. Martingale is awesome.

3. Ill just turn this EA on and ill be rich in a few weeks.

4. If I pay this guy $2000 he will give me the holy grail.

What is wrong with using a 40 tick stop? Lots of _____ traders use a 40 tick stop.

There are lots of ways to trade.

Its a set it and forget it trade.

I just put the trade on and walk away.

Averaging in is the way to go.

I'll buy another one here. Technically, the trade is still valid.

I scale out some to remove some of the psychological pressure.

It’s system specific!" ZDO

It's ok ... price is just having a breather ... there's more in this.

[Ingot54 13]

Don't worry, I am expecting it form a base right about here ... before the rally.

[Ingot54 13]

I'm not concerned - this is a long-term trade - I am expecting some draw-down.

The funny part is that each of these last words have been successful strategies at one point or another. Timing is everything.

I'll give it 10 more pips before I close ...

[TheDude 10]

Damn - I meant to click Buy, not Sell

[TheDude 10]

I'll go make a cup of coffee before putting that stop in - markets a way off, I'll be fine.

I sometimes look at the last words of traders. Unfortunately, most are merely standard conversation, not at all what I would have thought last words would be.

 

Try it next time you're reading an old thread. When you come across a member who you don't know, click his name and select "View public profile". See when he was last on Traders Laboratory. If it's over a year ago, the chances are he isn't coming back. Select Statistics - "Find all posts by (trader)" and then have at look.

 

Most people seem to disappear after posting relatively normal unremarkable posts.

 

I do wonder what happens to them. I like to think that they have discovered their own holy grail of life and are living happily ever after.

Technical Analysis is my edge

dont see whats wrong with this. i know a couple of small hedge fund managers that trade nothing but technicals and theyre all successful.

Baker - was your statement meant to be another "Last words of a trader"?

 

Probably the best I've read so far.
