Yeah, but unlike you, I'm typing this from the local library.

Dumpster? WSJ? Day old copy? I have to ride my bicycle 8 miles to the local rubbish dump and then am lucky to find a month old, soggy USA Today.

I have an account with Advanced Futures and am very satisfied with them, their clearing house (GHCO) and the platform I'm using (X_Trader). My VPN connection is very stable and I have yet to personally experience any outages. I'm not expecting anyone to carry the can for me when there's an...

I was lucky to get my 3 trades off before the economic numbers and Greenie. +2.25 pts / 3 RT / 2 ct lots

GATrader, you're feeling inadequate? All my equipment was repossessed last week, so I now have my mounted telescope pointed at CNBC of a neighbor's TV, and place orders to my broker using the pay phone downstairs.

As per my trading plan, my stops are discretionary with a maximum loss of 3 points and a minimum profit of 0.5 points. This means that sometimes I will get out with, say, a 1.75 point loss ie. I do not necessarily wait till the full 3 points. And conversely, depending on the situation, I will...

Rigel and tampa thanks, but as I always say, early days yet. tampa, by all means be inspired and use my trading plan. I just feel you could find better traders to model yourself on :p. (Hope he read all the disclaimers, starting from the very first post on this thread.)

I prefer leaving the question of whether today's gap down continues trending south to the folks that understand these markets, and therefore took my 3 trades and ran. +2.25 pts / 3 RT / 2 ct lots

ROFLMAO :D Good one, Dollar ...er... Pound

I found conditions difficult this morning, calling it a day when my conviction level dipped below the market's. Once again, some minor discipline breaches (overtrading, fading) reared their ugly heads and I'll devote a major portion of this afternoon examining ways of controlling them (Madame...

Hear, hear!

tom_p and I go back a loooong way :cool:

Myself, rs7 and FasterPussycat during one of the breaks at the Anaheim Expo. Young Publias is in the background.

All that was needed to break the sweet monotony of my standard +2.25 pts / 3 RT day was a losing trade, and after 22 consecutive winning ones it was long overdue. I also managed to extend the 0.75 point profit target a couple of times. +3.75 pts / 9 RT / 2 ct lots

Excellent dottom. I also now see how there are 2 variations, as per rs7. My solution has Second Weighing, Case 2 HHL --- HHL (as opposed to your HHL --- HLN) with the corresponding ensuing logic.

When first presented with this problem, I solved it after 20 minutes. There is only one solution as far as I know.

Huios, you might find this piece of advice (from a previous post by Baron) useful : "The problem is that Internet Explorer 6 has this dumb new feature where it resizes images that are larger than the window they are displayed in. If you hover your mouse over a resized image, like the one you...

The digits of pi are random enough for me.

Increased my contract size to 2 and am still waiting for the breakout in my trading. Today's early sluggishness prevented any increase in my profit target and I wished no part of the 10 o'clock numbers. +2.25 pts / 3 RT / 2 ct lots

Well then, profitseer, the answer is obvious - don't just exit at 48, reverse also :D
