In struggling With The same on cutting losses - dont seem to want to get out of an stock - Thats bad ! But use smaller positions or maybe papertrade some ?

Read any of Mark Douglas's books on Trading Psychology or watch his videos on Youtube. Good Luck!

@Torkers Or just practice cutting losses and getting out of trades that go against you.

Thank you guys. I'll definitely try to take smaller positions - it sounds logical.

Good Luck, you're doing it the right way in my opinion. Lots of unforeseen obstacles which deepens the learning curve jumping in live without experience.

@GreTa how to get rid of 20 min delay in TOS?

@april4 In you TOS Platform, click on CHARTS, then go to your upper right hand corner where you see SETUP, click on the WHEEL, then click on APPLICATION SETTINGS, scroll down to SYSTEMS, click on that, and then click on QUOTE SPEED, select REAL TIME (no delay). Try that first.

@april4 If that doesn't work, call them and ask for Real Time Data on your Paper-Trading Account, they're usually happy to Oblige, but first try the steps above, it will only work if you have a funded TD Ameritrade Account.
