He did say that Karen was only the basis of what he does. He did also say that he started with some losses because he didn't follow his system the way he did in SIM, so it took him a while to crawl out of the drawdown. He doesn't need to a grow a thicker skin. Those who criticize his returns...

I like you i960, and I understand how dangerous it is what Bobby is doing, but for anyone to say his returns are shit better damn well be prepared to show how masterful they are in their trading. Any example submitted to this board of real trades in real time end mostly badly. Do we have super...

My issue isn't so much to do with how he is trading, but rather that he is sharing what he is doing and his results, as others bash him as if they know better and are doing better and yet show absolutely nothing. In this game, its far too easy to sound smart if you keep your comments general...

Precisely. And on the flip side, those who are berating him for his very honest results have offered absolutely nothing themselves.

Then stop asking questions already. I'm going back to my old ways and calling you out on all your bullshit. You ask questions, ones that nobody but you can really answer, but then you don't even really care to consider anything else. So do what you want to do, but don't waste anyone else's...

It sounds like the entire basis of your feeling of superiority over me is that you somehow have magical access to information that allows you to always know exactly what is going on and when. If you truly believe this, then we are on different planets. Almost all funds are barely beating the...

My thoughts go like this. It all depends on the type of trader you are, or want to be. When you're an expert, I think its easier to mix and mingle, but initially, you gotta get absolutely expert at just one. The guy who is looking for runners needs to have either a wider stop, or more...

What do you mean by tough for the NQ? I think the index is feeling just fine. :D Do you mean tough in terms of looking for trades or tough for the trades you took?

You sound like a preacher, a man of the church, expecting blind belief and faith, and when someone questions that, you turn it on them, saying there is something wrong with them. Now here is the thing. This post was to Mtrader, who said he was also I am nobody, and how here you are, arguing on...

I haven't studied Dow in any depth, but I do see that it is incredibly difficult to figure out who is leading who. Between ES and NQ, they trade places, and often times, when one is rolling over and you think the other has to soon as well, what actually happens is the one that was rolling over...

@Jdesey Waiting for the update today!

Except if you're buying Enron, or Snapchat, or Blue Apron, or..... Perhaps before Lehman Brothers was liquidated they could have seen if anyone wants to get in at a really good price??? The point I'm making is that I think its very difficult to gauge what is a good buy and what isn't. Buffet...

But isn't everyone still greedy? Sure it dropped on NK news, but everyone keeps saying we are in a long term bull market still. Everyone is expecting the buy the dip to work one more time. I think its very difficult to gauge who is greedy and fearful.

I tend to agree with this. I think the buy the fucking dip crowd gets rewarded fairly often, so they have a very good win rate. But every now and then, the market has to teach these guys a lesson as well. I can't say if this will happen tomorrow or not, but it certainly will, and even our...

I think when it comes to audited records from teachers/mentors/gurus, what should be minimally required is statistics. Sure there might not be a way to verify, but at least we have an idea of what to expect, in so far as the person is willing to share or can be trusted. Lately I've seen...

Don't forget these are gaps simply due to RTH. If I include all data, the 2nd gap is gone, since the overnight action filled this, but there is still a small gap on April 24 from the Friday close to the Sunday open. Once again though, I still don't find this all that useful. Sometimes the...

Oh, and I should also add, that when the chart isn't compressed like this to show the range, which is what I did here for illustration, its good to show where the gaps are. I put lots of emphasis on RTH vs. ETH.

Simply because this is when I'm trading. Its also just a matter of interest really. There is no way to predict in advance what the range will be like (other than perhaps that after a big day you will rarely have a super quiet day). Also, just because I suspect the range will be huge, it...

Speaking of range, here is my chart. I have it setup to show from 09:30ET to 16:00. Today you see the range was exactly 103 points. I drew a line at 40. What's more important than average in my opinion is the mean. But even more simply, its where are most days. Most days fall around 40...
