The "most successful pros in the game" that you're referring to have to profit by managing huge sums of money and multiple large positions. It's not so easy to jump in and out of large positions when managing a large fund. On the other hand, if you have a $50K account and trade a volatile...

Trading is a business in which you look to benefit by obtaining prices for positions in future/option contracts or shares of a company that allow you to offset those positions at a profit often enough that, combined with your risk management parameters, the end result over time is enough profit...

Star, my friend uses them to trade futures and on the big trend day Friday I asked him what the top dog did that day and it was $583,021.36. Those numbers can't be fudged because if you sign up for their leaderboard, your actual trading gain/loss for the day gets updated through the day. A good...

I trade CL almost exclusively and posted quite a few real time calls with stops in CL Redux the other day to demonstrate for the crew over there my "tight stop" strategy of trading many intraday moves. I posted these calls despite the fact that CL is quite volatile and moves fast. I've...

Don't feel bad, I started my day in a pretty good hole trading CL with 2 b/e and 2 max losses before the NYMEX pit even opened and I was trading in the direction of the trend! I just happened to trade uncharacteristically sloppy while that particular trend was trying to decide just how much...

Then take your own stfu advice and stop posting on "some public board". Unless it makes you feel good to belittle others. Then have at it. Real traders have thick skins and can pretty much deflect all the sh*t thrown at them :cool:

Ammo posts entries, adds, reductions, when he's flat, when he takes a loss, and almost all his trades are scale-in/scale out. ES is pretty slow-moving, making it easy to post trades. Anyone can post calls because there's no risk. But I haven't seen you post actual trades. What I've found...

There’s money to be made in both directions, usually faster to the short side and a bit more slowly to the long side. ES dropped about 20 pts in 6 hours last week, then took over a day and a half to retrace that move this week. The profit looks, smells and spends the same no matter which...

LF, I was typing with someone on Skype and at 3:19pm ET, I told him I was really tempted to buy ES there, right about the price and time you were closing your position :p Glad you got a winner!

I'll be out for a few days due to company. Good trading to all!

Well, it sure looked good for a while, but I couldn't let 20 ticks turn into a loss, so in honor of Picaso that was a b/e :p

I just had that same thought, Kid. EDIT: Did you trade that R shelf break?

Epic fail :eek:

Let's speculate: I say measured move up to 92.98.

"It's triangulating!" she says, tearing out of the room with tail between legs.

Absolutely true! Pull the stops, boys! Just pick a side and wait for price to come to some random target of 10-20 ticks. :cool: ??? :confused:

Good lord, you caught an actual fish! Quick reel it in!

Ha ha, what a surprise, you mean you can't hold a position in this mess? Come on! (If you start scalping 10-20 ticks, a big move will transpire..)

Hi cher, long time no talk to! Have fun with CL :) This is some barb wire action here...
