Any suggestions?

ya ive been thinking about the stand up desk too.. but i think that would be annoying at some point.

I do stretch and take strolls just this chair as seen better days. Ill look for a fancy ergonomic chair.. maybe with a cooler attached. lol. I think its more attributed to my knees being slightly above my hips, so i need a taller chair.

Even if it takes a year to get back to 630 im holding. *if it ever gets there again*

 

If I ever get out of this trade with my shirt on my back, I dont think I will use margin ever again.

 

My account went down nearly 9 percent today.

 

Its okay though guys dont feel bad for me Im kind of used to losing lots of money on a daily basis now.

 

 

Maybe tommorow will be a good day for apple? *good day meaning a decline of no more then 10 dollars*

 

 

 

 

YOU.... ARE.... AN.... IDIOT.

Not because it is working for you today, but because that sort of mentality is going to end up costing you money in the future.
 

Hi guys!

Checking in to make sure AAPL is treating you nicely!

Nate, I'm not going to tell you your methods are wrong because they have worked for you so far. But to me you sound more like an investor than a trader.  With your investor mentality you do not need to be watching the day to day flucuations in AAPL, you'd probaly sleep a lot better at night too.

The same thing happened to me until I stopped feeling sorry for myself when I kept losing over and over...and worked with the market on its terms. I genuinely don't mean to be harsh, but facing the extreme anger and frustration of this head on is what saved me from blowing up my account. If it hits my stop, I'm out, even if it appears that things could work in my favor for the day. Relatively speaking, with broker fees in mind, it is cost-free to take your money out of a loser (and put it into a winner) if you are watching yourself lose money and the trade did not work out as planned. 

Likewise, if you've determined that this trade (investment) is a long-term thing, then act accordingly. Watching the charts on a daily basis for a trade that you are content with holding long-term is the fastest way to drive yourself nuts, make irrational and impulsive decisions, and basically self-destruct.

If things did not go as planned for this trade, take it out immediately, regroup, and move on to the next plan. Do not focus on what it "could do," since it can do anything. It could move up $100 today, it could drop $200 by tomorrow.

Why? It should be a reminder that Apple isn't invincible and has pullbacks like any other stock.

As they say, a fool and his money are soon parted .....

Some people just never learn their lesson.  Nate has no strategy so he feels compelled to expose himself to the anguishes of a marrying a stock.

A great idea!

Also, this allows you to put a treadmill up at your desk so you can walk while at your screen. Burn some calories during the trading day!

I typically do a few sets of deadlifts and squats while trading. Maybe some bicep curls. 

ya i should.. i had one before but some drunk ass decided to pop it years ago.

Then again, when i decide to fall asleep (pass out) ill fall over and have a concussion! 

Ya i saw a few treadmills that had a TV and docking station for a laptop or whatever. was wondering how it would be running and trading the 1st hr of the open.

but.. ill just go for the chair or ball at this point..  Just been sitting more the last 10 days. catching up on stuff, or im getting old .. take your pick lol.

With my luck I'd get "jogging fingers" and put an extra 0 in a really bad trade.
