Zero sum mechanics/dynamics have been debated before at ET. To repeat the best day trading method, here is my answer again. Strategy: zero sum play Market: DOW or another index futures And I'll add the approach needed. Tools: do your research and assemble your back data. Set up zero sum...

".. the individual which continues to see the big picture (the WAR not the battle)." Nutsneal. Yes, this is along the right lines. This A/B division does not otherwise work. Its like saying are you an emotional loser or an ice cold winner? Also one sees oneself as better or best...

Zero sum play. DOW or one of the other index futures.

Spaniards, weak as sh*t. Forget the U.S. on this one, it will take years for Spain to be taken seriously again in international politics after caving in to terrorism like this .. same message to ETA: an invitation to bomb the sh*t out of the rest of Spain. Fu*ked-up-to-hell socialists ...

Manz66, I note your reference to the 'morning reversal strategy', which expects "major stock indices to revert to the previous day's closing price in the early minutes of the trading session". It would be too uncertain for me. I have a complete detailed system. That strategy would not have...

Manz66, yes sure, but thats because I'm a zero sum player (ie DOW). As it happens I often use the Open to buy or sell because my systems's criteria tells me whether the first main move is up or down (won't matter to me whether or not that anticipated move is going to be counter to the the...

Firewalker, you are actually doing what you want to do .. proving your worthlessness and lack of success. Masochism. And it works. You are achieving your goal. Masochism is so comforting and familiar .. it might so far be the only version of yourself you love and know. Only you can decide...

Just like Chile. The USA, to the free world's great relief, skilfully helped Pinocet smash the Commies who were beefing up there to ruin the place with hyper-inflation already wrecking the economy. Today its a unique example of a thriving capitalist economy. But of course now the world's...

"Who gives a shit. Had they not started a war in the first place that would not have happened to them." Brandonf Amen. The Nips forget their unspeakable barbarism in WW2 .. they do remember Hiroshima. Thats cool because it keeps reminding the arsewipes not to go to war again!

This question has been resolved by a downside swing on the DOW so far today (to 11am). Received a swing and momentum report earlier this morning suggesting support at current levels (or possibly down to 9900) with a following bounce to 10350. While admittedly being bullish on the DOW I...

Autotrader and Gringinho Much appreciate your advice and notes. Really thoughtful and helpful. Many thanks. So far its on today. It was out all day Friday and the weekend.

Ah Mr Charts .. who doesn't provide full seminar notes and who offers no proof of his alleged trading success to the suckers he draws in. Did not think you would have the red neck to dare poke your beak in here at ET!!!!!!!!! Been waiting for you pal.

Trading inter alia is about being successful .. thats always a fu*king nice feeling! Sleepless nights hardly ever .. always sleep like a log. So I like the sack too. Then of course I only day trade .. nothing overnight. Fine if you like carrying positions overnight, for days or for weeks...

Fear, dread, panic, fu*ked-up nervousness .. call it what you will: the greater it is the greater is the extent to which you don't know the market you are trading in.

Well Warren Buffet's folksy but essentially banal economic comments blew one mother of hole in the dear old DOW. Caveat: I don't play the trend (much more juice for me as a daily zero sum trader of the DOW). But on a view of things, I remain big time bullish on the DOW

Gaps.. overall very significant. But gaps .. got to know when and when not to pay attention to them for the days trading ahead. By gap (ie DOW) I mean the Opening gap down or gap up from the previous Close .. obviously you will say: just being clear though. Instinct applied to gaps won't...

"Those who are excelling have done a better job of discarding what does not work, and exploiting fully those things that do work." Agree. Nice one, MaxMin. Yes, its problem solving really .. and on the macro scale this is the evolutionary progress of humans.

Don Bright had said "He never met a profitable E-Mini trader." Don always has intelligent stuff to say. And in a way its good what he says. Keeps others out, I guess But DOW index futures for me (and its got to be for at least a few others on ET) is a cornucopia. Take the time. Do the...

Each to his own of course. I stick to the DOW index futures. A cornucopia of 'goodies' for me and I'm sure for others. Just one instrument .. one market. The KISS principle. Chasing about in different stocks would not give me anything like the concentrated research knowledge I have with...

The lack of the basics of spelling and grammar of some persons is really pitiful. I wonder if they went to school.
