You "know"? Congrats, you are the first person in history that wasn't manipulating the mkt who knew with 100% certainty what is going to happen. With 100% certainty, why only 90% of you LNW. Why not lever up as much as possible?

What makes you so confident? Price drivers at -7, LOL. Seriously, it's not that I disagree with this particular trade however with your negative track record, putting 90% of your LNW into ANY of your ideas is a not bright.

I don't believe this for one second. 90% of your liquid net worth is in one directional trade when you are married and about to have a baby? You have been net negative for 10 years here on ET (according to your pal Atticus) and you are going to place almost all you have on this one trade. I do...

WTS?

I don't trade for a penny, that's a different trading model. But yes, size on the SPY and ES is not hard to get, although when the vix is under 18, I only trade the SPY.

Yes, you heard me correctly. There is no need for question marks.

And now you think it best to come to his journal and repeatedly harass and talk down to him? You really treat your friends strangely :p

Absolutely agree. I take fairly minimal risk relative to people with longer horizons. Fortunately the mkts I trade allow me to size in without disrupting things but still allows for nice profits from small movements (.10-.25 for example). Lots of ways to operate in this jungle :)

Really? Because just a few days ago you demanded he leave your journal and told him repeatedly he added no value. Is this how you treat your friends, yikes!!

Don't discount singles and doubles in a fairly liquid mkt like the SPY and ES ;)

He said he will try to prove TA has some value, not prove TA works all the time no matter what. Read his opening post. "After multiple arguments on the matter I decided to bring a bit of objectivity to the field of continuous holy war and demonstrate some of the actual performance achieved...

Why don't you give him an opportunity to instead of telling him he lives in a fantasy world and how this or that is a red flag or major problem for you. Just shut your trap and let the man's journal progress. Besides, you have your own journal to worry about.

Have you learned to spell "particularly" yet? It's a dead giveaway :D

Ok, I approach things differently. Lots of singles and doubles, and a few triples and homers. I focus on consistently day in and day out. To each his own...

Not for any daytrader, but a good, experienced one should be able to do much better than 20%.

Regardless of whether this one call turns out to be true, it's an amateur move to make bold definitive calls. You've done so in the past and they've blown up. All this proves is that, eventually, you'll get one right :p

Surf, just go and focus on your own thread. You are doing PRECISELY what you bashed others for in the past. Let Cornix do his thing.

PRECISELY....and this is what traders who DON'T trade like this will never understand. For me (like you), a signal might complete in a matter of seconds and there is no time for anything but queuing up size and getting in. I get many potential signals that, at the very last moment, do not end up...

I don't get it. Surf demands Cornix leave his journal and start his own and now he does and Surf comes here to harass him. :confused:
