I fear that I'm greedy Two basic principles of trading? Cut the crap, please

Strategic Trader I'm writing this as I am reading about my amazing trading attributes...WTH, I'M PAUL TUDOR JONES--I bet you guys are all just jealous as hell. You wish you were me. Well, me or Paul. Now I know that I have to work on the challenges I'm striving to be an imperfectionist

Do you have anything that remotely resembles proof?? BSC is bleeding in the shark tank...JPM and lesser sharks will eat all of it, grow on the good stuff, and crap out the rest That might be the most original spew ever posted here--WTF is that supposed to mean? I won't waste time on the...

Still makes me smile when I think that for 10 years I did my charts by hand while working on the floor. Had CQG at the desk, but it wasn't configurable to the way I saw the market. About a month before the chart paper company quit making 4 tic graph paper(4X8 for bonds), CQG realized that...

Go ahead, leave it on, I promise I won’t hack in to your trading platform and have fun making all those trades I was ‘just thinkin’ about. J/K I run 2 PCs through a hardware firewall with an aggressive AV, but I’m still always leery about leaving my ‘trading’ PC on...

Are there no contrarians here? Follow the herd you get the short grass If you fade the herd.....
