I have worked for many years as a software developer, with the last 6 years on Wall St. I started trading around 2001. One of my first trades was buying NT at C$115 after hearing soothing words from Cramer. The toad just dropped from its life time high of $137 and soon afterwards started to free fall. I lost a lot of money in the early years. Around 2005, I started day trading for a living. After experimenting with different approaches, I settled on trading only high probability setups.
