This is acceptable . . . got to have some sort of assessment. Then you changed your mind upon further analysis. Acceptable, too. Now pick a characteristic and trade or don't trade in a repeatable fashion until you have enough evidence to satisfy your deduction. No such thing as "too high"...

Agreed . . . if these things are edges, then everything is an edge and that's not the case. The toilet paper I buy for my trading office is an off-brand and saves me money . . . is that an edge? They may help you be more profitable, but that's not the true definition of an edge. An edge is...

Alright then, each camp will perpetually be at odds. The only statements I'm concerned with anyhow are mine. Let me see if I can get them to a bit more impressive state and I will post those sons of bitches!!!:D Keep Trading. JS

This type of price action trading requires fairly decent size swings to make decent money. This hasn't been available much in the last month or so. Of course, the last week of trading opportunity has been better, but has had a heavy upward bias. One thing you'll notice is that your four...

There are plenty of reason why somebody might <b>WANT</b> to make them available, but only one or two reasons why they <b>WON'T</b> if they have a claim to substantiate. The secrecy - or "privacy", ha! - that is hidden behind is deplorable. Step-by-step plan: 1) Take your monthly...

Don Miller was explicit that his "free service" was for his own benefit . . . it was not, that's deception. We know that P&G sells stuff . . . we know that Mother Teresa does not. Don Miller was explicit that he was anti-guru because of the many false claims out there . . . but he became a...

Go for a week without making one trade. Observe and learn which trades you should take. Week two, take one trade in the morning and one trade in the afternoon. Observe and learn which trades you should take. Week three, take two in the morning and two in the afternoon. Observe and learn...

Not at the price he wants. Perhaps he is the "real deal" as a trader. But anyone who wants to be a jellyfish has no idea what they are doing to begin with, so it's like watching sheep march off to the slaughter. How do you genuinely tell people about the massive commitment it takes to be...

Hi Bob, Checking in on your journal every now and then. Looks like I picked an eventful day to stop by. That's no small lick you took today. You definitely have a different risk profile than me. But I wish you and your account a speedy recovery. Keep trading. JS

Hmmmm . . . vague = overly-complicated or overly-simplistic typically. Mostly overly-complicated around these parts. To trade you need to know: 1) the market/security/instrument you're going to trade 2) timeframe(s) or data presentation that you will watch/analyze 3) how many...

Mentioned about the same time . . . "then call Pat Lafferty at MF Global and ask if he can vouch for every word and cent ever referenced in these pages." I'm sure Pat is a great guy. All brokers are completely trustable.

I stand corrected then. Fair enough. It's still damn disappointing that in one week's period of time he goes from "letting everybody have a front row seat" to wanting people to pay $7500 for eight weeks - or something like that. $1000 per week??? Don is a self-purported anti-guru...

Lack of consistent proof of success? . . . that's just the nature of the beast. That has never existed. So I can't argue much with you on that one. You either believe money can be made as a trader or you don't. I learned to make money before I gave up the belief, luckily. You will never...

Austin already explained it . . . you have turned into that annoying drunk who keeps coming around bothering everybody. "Earth shattering" . . . really? that's your criteria for who should stay or go? At least these two guys are respectful and consistent with their points of view. You...

Right. Don gives plenty of information in the blog about his method. Is it listed out in a handy cheat sheet? No. You pretty much have to read the entire blog and piece things together. People really want a "how-to" manual. Why do you want that? That won't guarantee you anything...

I can tell you as a first-hand reader (as well as many other "notables" on this forum that won't admit it) that Don doesn't sell a system presently. You may be able to find CDs he's created some time ago, but he's up front and will tell you that it's not representative of what he does now...

Don Miller's blog has caught the most attention over the last year for most aspiring e-mini traders. He plays for small movements and trades higher volume than most. Keep trading.

I don't think you get it. Maybe this is a new alias for you, or maybe you really did just arrive on the scene and don't really understand what goes on here day in day out. Don't get me wrong . . . I understand why this site is managed the way it is . . . I'd do the same thing to max...

You don't have much money at all - this is peanuts in the big scheme of things. Decide what you want to be when you grow up and go make it happen now. Invest in yourself. Crap, you're 28, you should already have a pile of crazy adventure stories - and more will happen. Go do something...

The avg "professional" scalper's profitability would go up as more and more knuckleheads gravitate to the next, new thing in "scalping platforms" to make them a quick buck. they would then give their quick buck to the pros. Eventually technology would begin leveling the playing field after a...
