I tried it a few times and always failed. Made far more by just holding. You have to keep in mind folks only ever tell you about their trading wins, never that they lost their shirt.
It's all good. Humans are just hardwired to like people who are consistent. People who are not are considered disingenuous (or mentally ill) in evolutionary terms and to be avoided. This is why many of us give your type stick.
i think ste is in the "i feel **** and i want you to all feel **** with me" camp. which is fair enough. it's subconscious and better than those that change with the wind to fit their current position.
Nothing at 7. Always worth checking the actual London stock exchange pages. 7am ones tend to land there within the first 30 seconds. Bit of a delay hitting here and push notifications etc.
No you are not going nuts, everything else is just noise, egos and traders playing games singing whatever tune works for their strategy on any given day.
Jeff is trading. That is fine. People can take a position and that can change with the wind. What I (and I would guess many LTHs) don't appreciate is hardcore ramping or deramping based on their CURRENT position. Irrespective of facts.
