    A trading secret only some will understand...

    I have empathy for rangetrader. I also have empathy for those that posted in this thread. Time and timing are two different things. Using time does not work. To have perfect timing, you must replace time with something else. Reason through the definition of a trend. Observe you...

    Market Wizards 4 coming soon!

    It is fun to be aquainrted with this left out group. Collectively, they do like to stay in contact and their personal stories are much more interesting than the stories of people who work the turf of the financial industry. One common thing is that they usuually avoid the lime light expcept...

    Mind circus

    OP: Short and sour. You're experiencing an effort by your mind to allow you to survive. read about neuro science somewhere and get a basic understanding of how the mind steps in when a person is persistently putting himself in danger. You have acquired a post tramatic stress disorder...

    From your comments above and your trading print, a person who is used to mentoring others, can explain a lot to a person like you. Blah blah blah. See if you can keep the blahs I just gave you in mind. They cover the objections you offered of the help I gave you. From my comments you...

    Your dog told my dog he ate the paper; he likes rice paper. I'm in the second percentile of the GRE (Measured from the top down as usual.) I missed two questions because of unit errors. Someone who was watching me trade said: "Gee, you made 13K in 9 minutes with 40 ES contracts." Maybe...

    Cut ahead to the beginner level. See if you can find the two trades I worked through for you. Your broker ought to be cautioning you severly at this point. Ask him directly why he isn't. He is supposed to be following the regs.

    Give Martin Sosnoff a read. Try "Silent Investor, Silent Loser". Toni, his countess wife, apparently shares his art and photography interests. His inside covers do show a bunch of altrnative CW types of approaches. His firm was the first non fund outfit to go public. (google Milliken)...

    As you saw and read. The stock trading took place over a year. Orders were announced the trades were taken and then the results were posted for over a year. You probably know the annualized take from reading the journal. 3 beta stocks selected in various ways over the years were used...

    I use about 10 to 12 leading indicators of price. Many center on orders. Orders people use often leave them at the gate and unfilled. It is very strange to me to see people placing orders that will not be filled. The DOM "walls" are a prime example of volume quantities that are not...

    The height of the volume bar represents contracts traded during the measured interval. Most people believe as you do. When I started out, I deduced that volume leads price. The pattern shows the V, P relationship The end effect of the pattern is the beginning of overlap with the next...

    Dune as a paperback was a new venture in writing. It IS contagious as a movie. I am not sarcastic but I do like dryer humor as in martini's etc... Neuro science can be woven into the thought process so the truth does get stranger than fiction. I couldn't, at the time, imagine that...

    Thank icarus, I did. That fuck bait worked yet one more time. People did and will always complain ("whiners") about how long my post are. So I did four one pagers that a guy could make an ATS out of and then trade it to create a P n L. It showed a 11.1% gain every week or so. Who's...

    This is a very good and precise edit. It is good to see a person (The OP) go through what had to be avoided. The example is poingnant. He told of his misfortunes and how his mind got to a non differentiating state. He can't erase it. For anyone beginning, they have to accept the math...

    I not only saved the logic; I converted it into a one pager. Years before the Worden test, it was posted here. So was the Universe selection process. The name of the process is called PVT. PVT stands for Position Vector Trading. The one pager was written in a matter of ninutes as someone...

    Thanks so much for your input. ET has a cap on the # of characters and spaces in one slug of posting. I just stay under that limit by getting a count. If you go over it dissapears A lot of learners put in 10 hours a day and some work on weekends. 2,500 hours a year is my round number...

    danielc1. You have a lot to learn. Suppose you do. Blah blah blah Suppose you don't. Blah blah blah Read Time magazine's 100. Narrow your focus to a comment quoted by the economics and financial editor. He quotes this guy who said something he discovered (and he is wrong...

    Holy grail of daytrading

    This thread shows that most people have not thought through the opportunity very well. Probably you family background and lack of education handicap you seriously. Those who are educated are handicapped for other reasons. How they learned was poorly orchestrated. I don't share any of...
