    Can this market get any more pathetic

    If your performance in this market has been pathetic, it may be appropriate to revise your strategy or move to another playing field like the ES fututre market - it's been very kind to me in July.

    Is trend following limited to buying new highs and selling new lows?

    I agree, but do so on a very small time frames, use ONLY a 5-min chart. So far it has paid off very well. As a matter of fact, I make it my business to avoid knowing anything about "...business cycles. (and) Predicting trends ...". The less informed I am, the easier it is to remain...

    Daytrading Without Stops

    There is a name for people who trade without stops - "BROKE". NEVER. NEVER, NEVER.... SHOULD YOU HOLD ANY POSITION WITHOUT AN INTELLIGENTLY PLACED STOP. This goes for "investors" as well as "traders".

    Switching to longer timeframes....

    I had similar issues until I deleted all charts except the 5 minute - now I trade a working system (thank God) and make spectacular consistent profits. Use whatever willpower it takes to get on the system that works, and stay there long enough until you "believe in and trust the system" then...

    how do u determine if something is statistically significant?

    Personally I feel a system needs to test successfully over at least a six month period and better if six months are tested in each of at least 3 different years - bullish, bearish, and flat, as the nature of the market tends to change from time to time. A system that withstand the test of...

    Can this market get any more pathetic

    Don't know what all you guy's are doing, but so far over 25 ES points a weeks seems to be no problem - really no matter if it's only specialist's and trader's money - the bank still accepts it! Maybe you're just in the wrong market!! I invite anyone interested to look on live while I trade...

    Fear of success

    Best way to overcome fear of success, is replace it with a greater feeling of the "joy of success". Of course if you're secretly trying to fail, and do so; you have actually succeeded anyway!!

    You're Invited

    I guess you are referring to yourself. My offer is intended to assist those seeking to get on the road to consistently profitable trading. I believe the word "paranoid' addresses those who are so afraid that there is a scam or something everywhere, so they avoid everything.

    You're Invited

    Several people have sent PM's inquiring about my trading based on some of my posts. I would be happy to let anyone watch realtime for a while. Clearly I can't give everyone the specifics of the system I use as I believe too many people on the same system will dilute the systems...

    Discipline - Continued

    Take out the "if" and keep it your head as a "do", or "Now that I maintain discipline every day I trade very profitably!!" There are only 2 steps to great success: 1. Find a profitable system (preferably as simple as possible) 2. Follow it religiously without hesitation. Best of luck

    Cutting losses is for losers

    I have 48 months of consecutive winnings in excess of 100% - so by your warped standards that must make me a G_d. Get over yourself! If you don't believe it send me PM and I'll arrange to show my trades real-time!

    Decreasing interest rates, increasing unemployment and high bullish sentinment?

    I would be curios to know how we are doing in 1967 dollars? I can't figure out how the unemployment and deficits in Calif are so bad while housing is always setting new highs? Anyway, I suggest anyone who daytrades, not listen to things like CNBC as it can really adversely effect your...

    ES: patterns & rockets

    I suffered every one of your symptoms in the past. #1 must be stopped - use strict entry , exit and stop adjustment RULES and NEVER listen to the noise in your head. #2 again strict rules not "opinions" that come up at the moment. #3 same as #2. #4 close the 1 minute chart - use nothing...

    Cutting losses is for losers

    No lack of self love here!! I assume that even someone as educated as you uses stops somewhere, unless you're really a lot dumber than you think. My nephew also graduated Wharton and after designing programs fort Morgan Stanley retired at 35 with millions, but he's a bit more humble than you...

    Straight up tomorrow

    AS IT TURNED OUT THE 13th WAS A DOWN DAY - THAT'S WHY I MUCH PREFER TO TRADE "IN THE MOMENT" AND NEVER PREDICT ANYTHING BEYOND THE NEXT FEW S&P POINTS.
