Good thing it was only 10 lots...could have been much worse. Sorry that the trade didn't work out man.

Never? That doesn't sound very flexible of you.

When you say 'most TA's' you are grouping me in with people who use an almost unlimited number of ways to view and trade the mkt. So this designation is way too general. There MAY be some overlap or there may be absolutely none, TA is very very broad. Blind TA (what I call those who use just...

You are a swing trader so your sentiment metrics will be different than mine, as I go day by day and take advantage of intraday movements only. I can't speak for everyone's time frames because, obviously as the time frames get larger and larger, so do the potential for larger moves (both in...

I guess it takes some people much longer than others to learn that fighting the mkt is too tough, much easier to go with the current sentiment and ride the gyrations.

Stuttering issues? I heard you the first time :cool: Mktsurfer, really not too worried whether you believe me or not, doesn't affect my bottom line one bit. I am happy for you if your uncannily accurate mkt calls are making you millions. I am not a jealous person.

Good! I'm glad we have that settled. Like I said, I am not here to prove to the malcontents anything, only to help those who are on a similar path as I once was to really understand what is needed to succeed in the short term trading arena. If you didn't continuously interject yourself into...

Nice find, Gabfly :)

Who cares WHAT the reason is for wanting to reveal as little or as much as one wishes....that's for the individual to decide just as you decided it was when you posted those words on the last page. As far as a personal attack, this suffices: "With over 4 posts per day, please don't be a...

As ET user "Dalmation", you've said the exact opposite to me in other threads. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3210414#post3210414 You've hounded me and flung some personal attack at me just because I choose not to spend my time posting live calls. You want to...

Ok, gotcha. Wasn't sure what kind of position sizes you normally dealt in.

Vancouver is a big country music town? :p

Inky, they are featuring the Cattleman Steakhouse (located in Oklahoma) on the travel channel right now....ever been there?

LOL

How come you took a small position? If this is a big setup, why not take more risk? :confused:

I'll keep posting whether you see me or not...others will benefit from seeing you look foolish :D

I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't hold overnight, if that's part of your system and these things happen, then you take your lumps and move on because you know that you will catch the opposite event more often than not (assuming you have a good system). For me, my focus is on catching...

Rough trade man, but look at the bright side, you aren't trading size so at least your loss isn't very large. Still sucks to wake up to a gap up against you. One of the reasons I love being flat at the end of each day :)

Yes, BUT if you do watch everyday you can learn to take advantage of more fluctuations.....it's a lot more work than set it and forget it but it can pay off. If you are trading an enormous account, though, probably not the best thing to worry about trying to catch all the moves you can.

777 asked if we caught THE bottom on 6-14-11, then claimed he didn't and then put me on ignore for giving him a hard time about......what a weakling that guy is :D :D http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=221839&perpage=6&pagenumber=11
