I would remind the contributors to refrain from quoting the detractors. By putting them on ignore, an envrionment conducive to learning can continue rather than change.

Chicago is good for a VW Rabbit. Great car.

Thanks for the promotion. Yes, I must light my own way.

as someone mentioned, long es will cost you premium. if you want to make premium, sell es, the sooner the better, assuming it goes down from the time you sell.

I see an error in my ways. Volume didn't matter. As Bill Cara says, "We trade price," but I am gurooed-out -- like too many cooks spoil the soup, too many gurus spoil the trade. Will you be my one and only guru, FM? Am I sacrificed? A lamb led to the slaughter?

It was best to stay in at 11:48, because red volume got bigger, but then at 11:49 some impressive green volume appeared, which may have indicated, to those wise enough to know, that the jig might soon be up.

Amazing! On the one minute there are 5 red candles in a row, trending down. There's more: on the 1st, there is big red volume where a high at 1796.25 was made, then 5 minutes later the entry. It may have been hard to hold, because it looked like there was support at 1792.50 a few minutes...

Oh! Yes! I see how some gurus would have failed. Price leading up to the decision was increasing, just a little, but increasing, nevertheless, and volume was steady.

FM, I am trying really hard to get this homework thing done. I have even opened up tws after hours on a Friday. With IB's charts -- 5 min. -- I see indecisiveness in the previous candle, indeed, indecisiveness in several of the preceeding candles, then, BOOM, almost red -- no pun intended...

OK, I did some homework. Seiki Shimizu is a candlestick guru.

Yes, our gurus overload us too much already. Some, with years and thousands of posts, accuse us of illiteracy and reading comprehension problems if we don't do the "homework" and reach the same conclusions that they have reached. Once burned, twice shy.

I have a new message in my ET inbox!

FM, if I may add, you're very wise about paying the spread. I once read that we should buy strength and sell weakness. Today, you have proven the old saw, "He who hesitates is lost."

Yes, FM, we have many philanthropists here. Is that why Niederhofer warned of adopting the "free" methods -- that used to work -- of old traders at sites such as nobletraders.com?

Thanks. I finally understand what Pangloss was telling us. Cunegonde's garden must have been delightful.

I'll bite. How did lit. lead you to make that NQ trade? Is Pangloss a clue? Didn't he say we should tend our own garden? That was some earthquake in Lisbon -- or was it Madrid, huh?

Moby Dick summary: Ahab chases whale; Ahab dies. Trader summary: Trader chases stock; trader dies.

What an idea, FM. Do you have any thoughts on Moby Dick and Captain Ahab?

Jack, if you had ever operated in Washington, you would know that there is a way to walk back a story. No one here has dishonored any protocol. We are not reporters. You are not a high level government source, speaking on background, not for attribution, etc. You made it about YOU as soon...

They should make you the SCT 'splainer. Jack and his crew don't have your abilities.
