I never have much of a problem with anyone figuring the markets are random, because for the most part they are. Its random like the flight path of a fly. If you have a fly in the middle of your barn and try to swat it in midflight, you will miss because its always shifting paths and whatnot. Its...

In a case of fraud, which it appears FWTG may have been, then you may have some risk. However, if you are dealing with a gauranteed IB of an established firms you have a mutliple layers of protection. One difference between stocks and futures is that all accounts must be segragated from that of...

Your at a different room and exploring a different style each week. How do you ever expect to "get it"?

<i>Why do people run a chatroom? Because they want your money! </i> Why does a hedge fund manager manage money when he has $100 or $200 million of his own, much of which is collected via fee's? Guess what? <Gasp> he wants yer fleepin money. And, even better yet, he wants it with out having to...

I would agree with qwick. Also, while others are saying to stick with the T/A, I would say to branch out on it. Look for relationships more than patterns.

Patterns fail because nothing is guaranteed in life or the markets.

<i>The rest of you can be in charge, I am just offering a place to meet....(gotta be careful around here, lest I get accused of something horrible like meeting new traders) :-) </i> Don, we would hate to see you give some one an opportunity out there. That would just be terrible <G>

The only reason I go to the expo's is just to see other traders. The show itself can be amusing, but not much else. Toni and I will be thereFriday, Saturday and Sunday and leaving early Monday. Brandon

I'm not talking about actually spreading (sometimes I do that, but not often enough to know if Ive been successful with it our lucky, so I won't get into how I do them). But the idea I use a lot in trading the futures is that some relationships should hold. In the morning if the Market is...

I find that when I'm trading the futures (NQ and ES) I do better when I trade relationships and not patterns. Try to find some sort of spread I can just mentally track and use that. When there is a nice trend day the patterns work well, but other then on those days I stick to relationships...

Arky, It seems like you are trying a lot of rooms...jumping from place to place to place. Thats not going to help you out much.

Good quote. I think Phantom is one of the best books out there...and you cant beat the price. B

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me..guess I'll go eat worms! :D

<i>I am looking for help! That 's it, pure and simple. </i> Purhaps this will be seen as me just being a smart ass again. The first time I read it, I myself thought it was a rather pointless smart ass waste of space in an otherwise fine book. The longer I've traded though, the more I see its...

:eek:

It is funny how when he is making money no one says much or he is a hero. Now that he is having a drawdown and having a bit of a hard time with it everyone seems to relish in the fact that they are not the only miserable SOBs in the world. It's pathetic. Hitman. If I was you given the...

I think a lot of people understand setups, but they dont understand the concepts. An understanding of the concepts will help you out. If you only have a setup, when it fumbles you don't know if its not working, or if its just a drawdown. For me, I focus on "where are we". When I look at a 120...

<i>HOW MUCH $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ CAN YOU MAKE ME??????????? </i> I think we both know that <b> I </b> can't make you money. You push the buttons. I'm not managing your accounts. If I was, you could expect to make money. <i> WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM YOU IN TERMS OF $$$$$$$$$$$$$?????????? </i>...

Stop trading breakouts until you see them working again.

<i>I did visit your website, but after I viewed the log I made a speedy exit. Hey I only post when I have something I feel could really help someone. </i> What was not to your liking? Leave something of substance. Help all these poor folks out so they can avoid the poison I'm ooozing.
