It's inaccurate to claim I said you were wrong. If anything, I was just poking a little fun at you while pointing out the obvious: AMT's statement that he made 48 points per 5 contracts doesn't tell us much about his performance relative to the day's H/L range because he scaled in and out. You...

Mr. Sub, your point is taken. I'm not knocking anyone who makes any amount of money consistently through trading. I do know, however, that a 1-pt/day average is just ordinary performance in the spectrum of profitable trading. To insist otherwise, as some have done on ET, is plain silly. If I...

Take a chill pill. I read your post and was merely pointing out what you're missing, which was the question you asked. Or was that a rhetorical question? I'm not sure what's not to understand about calculating average points per contract to compare performance. Maybe you ARE missing...

LOL! It's fun to think even a lobster can slide down slippery slopes. :p

Maybe you were too dazzled by the rapidity of the trades and you forgot he was using a 5-contract increment to scale in and out of his position which got as large as 30 contracts. Someone already posted the answer to your apparent riddle: Great job, AMT4SWA! You obviously opened some eyes...

Nah . . . how about you get to see the dealer's up card before you make a bet? Or you place a bet, take a card, and if you don't like your hand you can take back your bet and maybe get a little extra for it. Now that's more like trading. :D

Trading is just a perpetual video game. Every week I make a new high score. :D

Just ignore my post. I admit it was a mistake to post it. I tried deleting it but the time has expired. Good luck.

Too much drama. It doesn't look like you're sick of losing because you're doing the same things over and over. Well, some guys never change until they're forced to, usually by losing it all. You say you got lots of money. Take a break then. A long break. Take a year. Enjoy your health...

You're fortunate it's slow before the FOMC announcement. LOL. One final post and you're on your own. What is the "regulatory arm" of the NYSE? Uhh, how about the NYSE. Idiot. I passed the New York State Bar Exam on my first try. Thanks for asking. P.S. It's not correct to call the...

You're showing yourself to be hopeless. What you're describing is the obvious conflict of interest inherent in the current governance structure that allows the NYSE to police itself. Did you read the link to the NYSE website I posted? You contradict what the NYSE says about itself in calling...

The NYSE is an SRO? No shit Sherlock. Who do you think allows them to police themselves? Uhh, could it be the federal government through enabling statutes and regulations??? You know what's more funny than calling you stupid? You keep proving it over and over. Get a clue STUPID. :p

The best thing you can learn from here is how NOT to do things. ET is a great place to learn how the fish think. Especially the fish geniuses. :p

How do you know your math is right? What must your math say you should make trading for you to convince yourself you've been getting very lucky? :p

http://www.nyse.com/regulation/p1020656068597.html?displayPage=%2Fregulation%2F1022221392702.html The NYSE is not a regulator even if they and the federal government say they are? You have your viewpoint. It's misinformed and stupid, but it's yours and can't anybody take it away from you...

What is a "great" trader to you? Someone who makes a lot of money in the market? And when you say you're "on the verge" of becoming one, do you mean you're making money now but not a lot? It doesn't take much to be able to punch the market for $$$ at will. You may already know that, or you...

Maybe you should give up trading and go to law school. You seem to like arguing more than trading. Just an idea.

A better trick is to get 1's and 2's and no 3's and 4's.

How common are they? More common than, say, 38%, 62%, or 79%? Or even 25%, 33%, 67% or 75%? We all know prices retrace, but what makes you say 50% is so common?

First, with regard to the PDT rule. If you're unhappy about it, you're directing your blame at the wrong party. Who do you think wrote the rule? The NYSE (along with the NASD). The NYSE is self-regulatory with the SEC having oversight. All NYSE rule changes must be approved by the SEC but that...
