Thanks KBloc. While I've never really been one to give up (ask my ex-girlfriend Lara), I do feel that I may need to take a step back and reassess how trading psychology is affecting my performance. I could see myself being like that laboratory mouse that continues to blow cocaine until it dies. Though my cocaine use was brief and ended years ago, I don't want to keep throwing money at the market before I've been able to get my trading and character flaws in check.
Yeah. Great point! I wish I can help you but I have to fix myself first. If you look at my performance, I am much worse than you. Well, I guess I have some experience from those losses but I do not want to pollute your mind because I am not a winner yet. When I become successful, I do not mind to share with you some advices... Anyway, take some rest! Come back soon!
@ShhBrad @KBloc I keep this book literally at my trading station. It has helped me immensely to redefine my ideal trades. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1118445619/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1118445619&linkCode=as2&tag=brassmag-20&linkId=a2c0b4c9d7f7a385d0d63837a1821840">Trade Mindfully: Achieve Your Optimum Trading Performance with Mindfulness and Cutting Edge Psychology (Wiley Trading)</a><img src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=brassmag-20&l=a

@KBloc Hello KBloc...have you always traded with the same broker? Who do you use?
Yup! I still use Questrade. I remember that it is not recommended by Goode because Level 2 is not good but I enjoy the commission. For 100 shares, I pay 1 cent per transaction. However, there is monthly fee of around 90 CAD/ month. However, if you trade quite often, they will waive it. Good luck! http://www.questrade.com/pricing/DIY-Trading/fees-and-rates/data-plans#MarketDataPackages
Thanks KBloc. How are their executions?
Not bad. They are fast in my opinion.

@KBloc Where in CA are you? I'm from Connecticut, living in New Hampshire at the moment, but I lived in San Jose, CA for a year.
Oh, never mind. For some reason, I thought you lived in California.
Hahaa!
This is my guess: Kevin, you live in Garden Grove, CA (a Vietnamese community).
I do not live in the US...

Took me a long time to realize that I can post unverified trades without giving up my names and passwords. In the future, I might consider it, but for now, I'm still too nervous about it. I've switched to E-Trade and Think Or Swim since most of these first trades. I literally just realized today that I can post my trades without NEEDING to verify them, so I'm going to have to catch up.

@timothysykes An American Hedge Fund came in the mail today. Shipped from Mishawaka, IN to East Haven, CT. There's a sticker inside that reads "Property of New Milford Public Library". It came back. I'm reading it as soon as I finish The Wolf of Wall Street. \m/

@timothysykes I've been studying your videos, trades, website, etc. for months...and I just bought An American Hedge Fund off Amazon. I'm officially a paying student. I may or may not subscribe in the future. I don't want anyone to "create" my success but me. If I can't become a self-made man, I don't want it. Thank being said, thank you for everything you're shared. You've helped me discover one of my major purposes in life. From East Haven, CT...Brad.

@ShhBrad just became a fully transparent trader today!

Ordered. Thanks Tim!
