If your not already then you should join his sales team. This is one of the oldest pressure sales tactics in the book. I don't care how "real" or "fake" this stuff is, it just blatant shilling. I'm disappointed that threads like this have not been deleted

Good post!!

I understand this completely and is the reason I started to keep a journal late last year as well. I first started it private but I felt by it being public I would find it harder to stop in the future. I hope you get out of it what your looking for. My goal was more consistency and to...

Yeah I always joke that when you start hoping... you know your f****d... but you just can't bring yourself to admit it yet! The market will improve right when everyone agrees with some poster who starts a thread titled "day trading is a dead industry?" btw I'm reading "Reminiscences of a...

wow....whats the best way to answer this?... The market does not care about you, your position or your opinions.... the sooner you realize this, the better for your trading. If your stops are getting hit its because your putting them in obvious places ... simple as that!! btw: I...

Hey Sam, As promised, I had a read through your journal. Thought I would just make a few points. Firstly though, I'm not going to tell you how to trade or comment on your strategy at all. I looked through the journal but didn't really look much at the trades but more at the comments you...

Well the day that I was going to skip turned out to be probably the best day of the week for trading. I really wanted to take a trade on AIB which I have wanted to do for a while. I have been taking the position short most of the week but there is a buyer who won't let it drop or the...

I said I wasn't coming in today but...I'm in today for one reason... its the only stock I'm trading. I don't want to say anything for obvious reasons but today could be a good day if it works out. Fingers crossed! Hopefully update you on it at the end of the day

The flavor of the day doesn't mean it will be popular in the future. HTF is here to stay and many make good money doing it. In the end though the edges will get so small it will make it unprofitable for many of the hedge funds.... then they will move on to something else. "Trend following...

Reduced size today... hmmmmm... well I was positive all the way till the end of the day when a brain fart happened and I tried to short SLE on the pop... bad move. Gave back my day and went slightly negative. This market is really boring and many stocks are acting very strangely. I honestly...

Zzzzzzzzz... This market never ceases to amaze me when it comes to new levels of boringness Also Citi is trading really weird the past week or so... Breaking one level and then clears everything on the level below. It's making zero sense to me and hence why I'm playing really low size or not...

Thanks for the question. Firstly I don't use hedges. I don't see the point to be honest. If I'm not sure about the trade I will take less size or scale in. I can understand hedging with inter-day trading (due to gap ups/down) but not intra-day trading which I do exclusively. I always look...

You know what the cul-de-sac literally means? Ass of the bag... I laughed when I learnt this... Also this whole thread just makes me want to short the market... your top will be in when Time Magazine comes out with a headline along the lines of "how high can it go?"

Yes, more so with NYSE stocks then anything else... that's because a certain person with big pockets has a HUGE incentive to make the big orders get filled... When I first started I was like... wow look at that big order.... surely it can't go through there... I will just get long / short in...

Sigh!!! Tough trading, there is a little bit of volume but no real movement. I have been waiting for a particular trade for a while... I took it but it didn't want to go. Let you know if I get it in the next few days. Nothing of note to mention other then I just lost a couple hundred on a few...

PM'd you as I would rather not say anything about Montreal prop firms on these boards

Yeah I made the same observation. My floor is getting pretty empty and most traders are working out of a hole. For me I think the money is always there however you have to work hard to get it and hard to hold on to it. I think another interesting observation is that since 2009 retail...

A great trade on SIRI and awful trading on F is the summary for today... Guess as I'm a positive person I will start with the positive. I shorted 40k @ $1.73 on SIRI in the morning. I did mainly because I saw no reason what so ever for it to open @ $1.73-74. It didn't make any sense other...

Seriously? Marketwatch is garbage... and CNBC is the slowest of them all... OK no problem guys, taking my own advice and signing up for theflyonthewall... seems to be the quicker between them and briefing. Still have trade the news but I don't pay for that.

+1 completely agree... and I would also add that when he does get around to it he mumbles it and you never quite know what he said. Their slackness is why I'm looking for a different source
