    please move this user from Trading to Journal category

    "erik's posts have been known to bring specific commentary based on the day and his thoughts and as such generate good discussion. " The same argument could be made for putting it in journals. if he is any "good" people will find him. But it is not appropriate under Trading.

    New web software is the end of ET (and other forums)

    Focusing on the actual technology, I am thinking: --- I will believe it when I see it --- my minor (did an MS-CS major) was artificial intelligence. The problem they are trying to tackle is immense. GIGO applies - the web is full of garbage, trying to make sense of it is incredibly...

    The Big Bored: NYSE Traders Look for Diversions

    sounds like the S&P futures. Last I knew, eminis were traded electronically, but for large orders (I think, 25+ eminis), it is shunted to the trading floor... And I believe that in Chicago, they moves all pit-traded major currencies (Yen, Euro, etc.) into one pit.

    I was long URE from 4-29-09 to 4-30-09, in your face shorts!

    HO is a zero (0) lot trader. Your 1-3 lots leave him gasping in the wind. He is seeking attention, and he got it. Except he is getting a negative rep, not a positive one...

    Quote from Uncle_Ho: We have a name for guys like traderzones and fromthesafe down at the CBOT. Oh, you are a member of the Certifiable Brainless Ogre Troglodytes? We have a name for paper traders like HoHo down on the earth. It is called wannabes. People who have to impress others...

    How does it help "a fellow trader" when the trader is a business seeking subs, and you are here cheering on adding us to his subs??? That is called indirect spam

    Why most traders are losers

    did not say 1% are winners. Said less than 1% are big winners - meaning longterm, can easily live off your winnings If you are 1 year then you are not there yet, and we only have your claim. Post your big winning account statements, otherwise you are irrelevant.

    The Jerks of Online Forums

    missing one. Mr 50 Aliases (aka Trader28/cold/Jasonn/c-kid/and a bunch of others) His main purpose seems to be: sink Jack Hershey (a notable goal, perhaps) and start threads pretending to be a highly successful trader, or a complete newbie, etc. etc. and then say bizarre things that let you...

    GREAT indicator

    with photoshop these days, posted blotters and account statements are easily forged to prove something, go to one of the numerous auditing sites - timertrac, futuretruth, timerdigest, collective2, striker/attain capital (brokers), Robbins world cup - and get your trades audited for at least 4...

    Why most traders are losers

    10-20% are big winners is probably overstated 10-fold. Try 1% or less... most of those who are NOT losers are breaking even or making small amounts. And few make BIG money for years. Most of the ones who do well for awhile will learn about the most important statistic in trading "Risk of...

    I was long URE from 4-29-09 to 4-30-09, in your face shorts!
