Stoic, Great call on your spread. Good one - I had seen that one, liked it, but didn't want to compound the long forward curve risk I already had going on in the US grain space even though yours is clearly a crush and the dynamics for products are clearly a bit different. I got out of my...

Why don't you share with us the oscillator or wave count study you were using, as well as the timeframe. Note that I am making an educated assumption about what type of study you were using.

I've seen this movie and the ending was not happy. Why make someone else cannonball and blow up with you ? I would lay odds that 75% of the floor trader suicides in Chicago were due to cannonballing. Adding like you are is a sickness. Actually in your case it is going to be a...

It is actually annoying that you started three different threads to basically bitch about the same thing. Trade something else then, for God's sake. Pissing and moaning will not change the marketplace, and increasing your frustration level certainly won't change your predicament. Lots of...

Do you have any concept of how freaking horrendously terrible a twelve percent mistake is, unleveraged, over such a brief period of time is ? Dude, you are like a freakshow exhibit - no personal awareness of how embarassing your perception is... This is what twelve percent, unleveraged...

Quite frankly, you think far too much of your technical analysis skills. I will go ahead and say it - you get this consistently wrong from a technical analysis perspective. You have no expertise in this field and quite honestly you do not appear to have the good sense to know when to shut up...

Rallies need sellers and Sell-offs need buyers. Market corrections and price consolidations are absolutely required to continue a trend. A trend is either going to continue or fail off. My point is that a trader making personal rationalizations against a dominant and apparent market price...

It appears that the Congress will stay in Republican hands - so like the Vietnam War and other major White House policy mistakes that require funding to implement, the Health Care mandates as handed down by the White House will simply not get funded and will subsequently wither and die. Never...

ETFs are an incredibly valuable spread trading instrument. ETFs versus ETFs, ETFs versus single stock components, ETFs versus baskets of stocks - the flexibility for spread position swing trading and intraday arbitrage are a very powerful feature. Use the leverage to your advantage in terms of...

Or the Obama administration's rejection of the pipeline infrastructure necessary to supply Canadian oil sands crude to US Gulf Coast refineries ? Or the Obama administration's open embrace for higher consumer energy prices as a mechanism to curb fossil fuels consumption ? Smart speculators are...

And Forbes is calling for Apple to hit $1650 by the end of year 2015. How many poor souls have gotten crushed trading on 'overbought' oscillators and wave counts and Fibonacci extensions ? Hint: switch to longer timeframes. Consider the notion that failed oscillators and failed wave counts...

You actually need to make a statisitical correlation run comparing that one FX currency product to all listed commodities - and this needs to be done on a routine basis because these correlations usually have a very limited shelf life. Not always, but usually. These are typically dynamic...

If GSC had admitted much earlier in his demise that he was wrong and moved on with things, it might have salvaged his credibility a bit.

Just too funny.:) :p

Will this post be as correct as your previous proclamation announcing your exit from ET participation ?

Traders who understand technical analysis continue to find great amusement in your ongoing humiliation. There is nothing technically correct about your postings here and on your blog. And your timing really sucks.

I will put aside for the moment any possible conflict between the subscription fee and the CME electronic member firm requirement that no employee funds be at risk. It seems to me that the requirement for traders to be flat before the market close combined with taking a $2.50 per round turn...

The topics discussed up to this point in the conversation have not really addressed the central concern: the max drawdown characteristics of the system, and if that performance is compatible with the trader's emotional tolerance. It is a typical mistake for the fresh ( er ) trader to place...
