Chit Chat? Moving this journal to Chit Chat is highly offensive to me. This “journal” probably has more to do with the real day to day aspects of trading than most. This “journal” – as well as others I have posted – attempts to put a humorous spin on the reality of the business...

Steve, with all due respect, and no slight intended - you just don't get it.

Right in the midst of the longest and best winning streak I’ve ever had – four consecutive profitable days in a row – tragedy strikes. It seemed innocent enough, when the mother-in-law showed up Friday afternoon. And there was nothing unusual when she and the wife locked themselves in...

...today's results: +15 ticks in 4 trades. (eat your hearts out)

...are you familiar, sir, with the one finger salute? God, how I hope so...

May I assume that the above is intended to be an insult, and continued mockery of my work? Strange how as it becomes apparent that my system is successful, ET members become more hostile...

Having lost some $21,390 trading your stupid Secret Plan for Wealth and Happiness, I have nothing to say to you, sir.

I am going to ignore this post, except to wish you continued failure in the market and in life...

Several members have requested information on the upcoming eclipse. I have posted what I believe to be the most informative below: The partial lunar eclipse of October 17 2005 will be visible over east Asia, Australasia, and most of North America. This very slender eclipse will be quite hard...

I will reply with all the dignity your post deserves. Picture a man, seated at his computer. His left thumb is planted in his left ear. His right thumb is planted in his right ear. The remaining digits are wildly wiggling, while he is sticking his tongue out and making what is commonly...

...oh that was so funny, I forgot to laugh. It is easy to see why you are less than a successful trader - and no doubt less than successful in life. Mock my method if it makes you feel better about yourself, but my results cannot be denied.

I received a PM from zork requesting more information on the measurements I use in calculating my trade triggers. Since I want to be as open and helpful as possible (without divulging the exact formula), I am posting my answer publicly. Moon...

In spite of the less than enthusiastic reception this journal has received, and the open scoffing my trading method has garnered, I am pleased to report that I have now experienced my third consecutive day of profitable trading. My market of choice remains the Euro futures, using elements of...

Things just keep going down hill – in spite of my best efforts. Yesterday was our anniversary, so I knocked myself out, trying to be nice to the wife. I figured a romantic dinner would be a good start, and knowing how much she likes seafood, I made all the arrangements. For the first...
