[15:25] {Jenh} wow. darn i got out of fb on last dip
01[15:25] {@Threei}  1:3  
01[15:25] {@Threei}  why? treailing stop wasn't hit
01[15:26] {@Threei}  don't be creative... trading is about following the procedure ina disciplined fashion, not about inventing things on the go
[15:27] {nemo} whoa rug pull.
01[15:27] {@Threei}  if there is a reason to deviate from standard guideline, I'll alert
01[15:27] {@Threei}  otherwise just let things work
01[15:27] {@Threei}  as some wise people say, apply principle Wu Wei
01[15:28] {@Threei}  which is wise speak for non-intrusion
01[15:28] {@Threei}  non-interference
[15:28] {Jenh} sorry. got out when thought a cancel had been a real trade so just took money and ran
01[15:28] {@Threei}  cancel?
[15:28] {Jenh} but got out at 50 so very happy
01[15:28] {@Threei}  out last peice on a trail btw
[15:29] {JoebiWan} ty vad
[15:29] {Jenh} :( i'm still getting used to program 
[15:29] {JoebiWan} good one
01[15:29] {@Threei}  yw
[15:29] {Jenh} my trading system said i was holding when i thought i was out so i just left
[15:29] {Jenh} completely
[15:30] {Jenh} if it's any help i did mostly stick to the system until the program scared me
01[15:30] {@Threei}  I don't get it but then again... there are so many things I don't get :)
[15:30] {Jenh} :)
[15:31] {dino} scared? remember... money lives on the other side of fear
[15:31] {Jenh} but i live here, in fear, constantly :)
[15:33] {Jenh} still i am calmer than i was so i guess that really is saying something
[15:33] {dino} as long as you keep your stops, whats to fear?
[15:34] {Jenh} very true
[15:34] {Jenh} the stops do keep me calmer
[15:35] {JoebiWan} uhhh, ebola, dino
01[15:35] {@Threei}  jen, here is quote from the Techniques of Tape Reading, one of the mantras:
[15:35] {dino} use them and never forget rule #1
01[15:35] {@Threei}  I don’t know what the market will do next. I don’t have to know. I know how I will react to anything the market does. I am confident in my ability to react correctly. I have a strategy that works and the discipline to carry it out. I am independent-minded. I don’t trade to please others. I am self-reliant. I question any trade I take, but I don’t question my ability to make the right decisions. I trade effortlessly and automatically. I manage risk and assume losses. I trust myself.
[15:35] {Jenh} long story short: i always wanted to trade and then i did and lost $1500 in 5 min so i guess i have some residual fear
[15:35] {nemo} wow, you got off cheap
[15:36] {dino} lol, with respect jen, losing 1500 is nothing
[15:36] {jfjf64} exactly
[15:36] {Jenh} thanks 3i! that's a good quote
01[15:36] {@Threei}  there is much more where it came from :)
[15:36] {Jenh} well to me it was like the world had ended for a sec 
[15:36] {jfjf64} don't quitn ya day job
[15:36] {jfjf64} lol
[15:36] {Jenh} thanks guys i really appreciate the encouragement and perspective
[15:37] {Jenh} thnx. will stay in 
[15:37] {jfjf64} GO SLOW
01[15:37] {@Threei}  what is that day job you speak of with such reverence
[15:37] {dino} trading
[15:37] {jfjf64} lol
[15:37] {JoebiWan} can someone help me with my fear?
[15:37] {nemo} well, we know jf isn't a gigolo
[15:37] {dino} joebi, use the force
[15:37] {nemo} nor a rocket sccientist
01[15:37] {@Threei}  ok, one more:
01[15:37] {@Threei}  Fear of Trading, Hesitating to Pull the Trigger
01[15:37] {@Threei}  Trading is a game of probabilities. I don’t have to be right every time. I just have to follow my rules. I know my system works. Every trade is either a profit or a stop. Any given trade is not of significance. The results over a certain time period are what matter. Trading within my proven system puts the odds on my side. I have to play to allow opportunities to materialize. I know I can trade by my rules. All I do is react to signals— a signal to enter and a signal to exit—that are generated by my system. They take me in and out with no hesitation. I can observe the market and emotionally detach from it. Any stock movement is simply numbers that change following certain patterns. I know how to read those patterns. I am totally focused on what the market is telling me. I can hear it and react to it.
[15:38] {dino} joebi, try using hard stops
[15:38] {JoebiWan} i fear running out of booze
[15:39] {dino} oh, well, try buying in volume
