    *Simulated* Trader P/L 2007

    Sorry if I got a little preachy there. No offense meant and hopefully none taken. That said I wore out my stupid hat today. Could have played things worse. I churned myself with bad entries and sticking around in trades way to long and giving back profits. #1) + .1 #2) - 1.5 #3)...

    $1 million lottery ticket for sale

    I guess even traders need a little of the Jerry Springer thing otherwise I don't think people would heap it on like they do in here. I suspect everybody who posted drivel is just bored and almost definitely could take the other end of that offer anyway. I know I wouldn't come up with the sum. If...

    *Simulated* Trader P/L 2007

    Why would you trade without stops even in paper. Are you planning on just having fun with the paper account, or are you working towards putting up your real money with your systems. I do intend to move to my real account in the future, so I want what I'm doing to carry directly over to my...

    Oil- Unleaded Gas?

    I think it was more like not changing your driving habits and therefore causing you to buy less gas. Kind of the old turn up the heat on the frog till it cooks idea. Could be hogwash. But I know first hand about some cooked frogs. I don't think the gas companies think much more of us. JIM:(

    I will be happy to be profitable. I hope to make more after expenses than I would at home depot, walmart, tractor supply, ect.

    Oil- Unleaded Gas?

    I read that they make thier money when the price drops, as they lag behind the price going down. They do that because we are so grateful for any easing. On the way up they don't want to scare, anger, and frustrate the consumer so they take less margin at the pumps. Seemed to make sense with how...

    Funny thing . .

    I urge you to look at the history of what you are saying. When people like you say the end is near, our course is chosen and there is nothing left but to dwindle down into the abyss. Things are about to change for the better. Once you have all dumped your money into the next pocket of fear it...

    Trader P/L 2006 Questions and Discussion

    Why lay off the trades I would usually take? I felt the "pressure" of reporting results here, purely self-imposed. What would anyone care if I took ten turns and made/lost money in the end? Performance pressure is a very real part of trading, and it is always self-imposed. Very seldom do I...

    S/R Emini Journal

    Good point, When I've been around long enough to learn how to trade one market efficiently I will let myself look into others. Whenever I look at other charts during the day I don't seem to have the same feel for how it acts. I don't know whether it is smart or not to focus on one market to...
