    Poker -- Has your knowledge of poker improved your trading profits?

    Oh, gimme a break. If you REALLY know what you're doing in the financial markets, you could trade the ES for 2 points per day on a 20-lot. That's $500K/year... and you could do it with $10K initial margin. (I have a wealthy fried who claims to one year to have captured 9.5 points/day. Having...

    Poker -- Has your knowledge of poker improved your trading profits?

    None of which have ANYTHING to do with trading... which was my original point. Anybody looking for "insight into trading via poker knowledge" is fishing in a dry hole. There is ZERO correlation!

    Poker -- Has your knowledge of poker improved your trading profits?

    Whoa, man you're treading on thing ice. I gave up the "scuffler/hustler life" because I wanted something much bigger and better... not because I "lost my ass". I had an uncle... Les Schissler... a Hall of Fame bowler (look it up if you don't believe)... who was a big success in the bowling...

    ABSOLUTELY NOT. TOTALLY FALSE!

    Poker -- Has your knowledge of poker improved your trading profits?

    UP YOURS, DICKWAD. I played poker 3-4 times a week for about 15 years. You do that or you just talking out your ass? One more stupid comment like that and I'll have you ON IGNORE!

    All true in trading. Little true in poker.

    Poker -- Has your knowledge of poker improved your trading profits?

    Let me suggest this... THE WORST THING FOR YOUR TRADING CAREER... has been watching the WSOP on TV. If it instilled any "trading notions" in you, THEY WERE FALSE!!

    Good GOD man, you've outed yourself as an IDIOT! None of those have any correlation to markets trading.

    Poker -- Has your knowledge of poker improved your trading profits?

    gaussian is wrong. You apparently desperately want to believe he's correct... so trade any correlations you think you see. (But when you're living in a cardboard box under the viaduct, don't beg me for "spare change".)

    Who rules the charts?

    It doesn't matter WHO controls the markets. Overall, they are a collective. Focus on WHAT, not WHO.

    Poker -- Has your knowledge of poker improved your trading profits?

    But that is not material to success. If what you seek could be known, EVERYBODY would eventually "get it" and there would be zero trading... as everyone would want the winning side and nobody would take the losing side. Overall, trading is a 50-50 proposition... but if you're smart, you can...

    None of which have anything to do with trading the markets... which is my point.

    No sir. Your presumption is entirely false.

    Poker -- Has your knowledge of poker improved your trading profits?

    Disagree. In trading the best you can do is "trade what you know"... and what you KNOW is what's in the charts. In poker you can't KNOW because you don't know the hole cards of others. Poker is very much about being in position and intimidating other players to making a mistake... call/fold...

    Poker -- Has your knowledge of poker improved your trading profits?

    Sort of. For about 10 years I made my living as a scuffler/hustler. Poker, pool, bowling for money. My best game was bowling. Since giving all that up, I've been a financial markets player. (In my hustler days, I "made a living" and it was fun. I was in my 20's then and lots of things were...

    Poker -- Has your knowledge of poker improved your trading profits?

    TOTAL HOGWASH! The two are so materially different that there is no correlation. GS may hope there is an edge and it's transferable, but no.

    Uncommon "3x Top @ Lower Hi"....

    As an analogy.... I used to be a professional bowler. There was a guy who almost daily practiced in my home house. One person made the comment, "he practices every day... he must be really good". My reply, "He's not and likely will never be. He practices poor technique". There is a...

    Uncommon "3x Top @ Lower Hi"....

    Geez.... I thought YOU were going to come with something, not "check out this guy... he has a website so he must be smarter than you". I looked at his stuff years ago. Some good, some not. Overall not impressed. Most technical analysts, both pro and amateur, "see patterns everywhere". KISS...

    Uncommon "3x Top @ Lower Hi"....

    1. No technical difference between double and triple top. 2. Neckline is irrelevant. Has nothing to do with double/triple top. 3. In spite of the attention they get, "potential H&S patterns" are highly unreliable. 4. This pattern may morph into a triangle-like pattern, but wouldn't be...
