Actually he didn't... you need to learn to read as well. All he said was that the range has been 1800-2100. You can infer that someone is catching 100 point moves, but he didn't say this. And since there is 300 points between the high and low, it means the market is moving, which is the...

Actually you are. You make it seem like going for a few ES points is like selling girl scout cookies. That is the expression you used. So your example of dead is the VIX? My example of the market going nowhere would be a daily range of 2 ES points, which it clearly isn't doing. I have him...

First of all, nowhere do I see that this thread is about long term buy and hold. This would be the only way for your thesis to be correct. 18 months is shit loads of time, even for a buy and hold crowd. Here is a lovely chart of the SPX. Now tell me, does it look like there isn't as much...

Come on now though... the PnL can be derived a whole lot of different ways. 1 point on 20 contracts is exactly the same at 20 points on 1 contract. If you ask me, days where the ES barely moves are exactly the types of days to fade highs and lows and capture a few points very successfully...

No offense, and I know you're a really smart guy, so his comment of yours surprises me. You might say there has been no movement for 18 months, for perhaps the buy and hold crowd, but are you saying there isn't money to be made? If a market wasn't moving, then surely this would mean nobody is...

Yes.. I can see it now. Its funny because when the shading was removed and the bold thing wasn't working for me, I found it too difficult to see which threads were new, and gave up on trying to read anything. I have to say though, its still not as good as when the shading was there. For some...

Not sure how to describe this, but when you click on the forums link at the top, you see the newest threads before getting a list of all the forums further down. There used to be a shading differentiation between the threads that have new posts you haven't read yet and the threads you caught up...

Take a look at this. I don't use it myself but I've seen it mentioned. http://www.tradervue.com/features/analyze

Perfect... we can end this here... Luckily I don't even know what bangwagging is... hahaha

I do agree with you that this is a troll thread. And I do also wonder why he sometimes wastes his time. But we are both guessing its a troll thread, and he must prefer to wait for facts to come in before he passes judgement. As for the rest, I would just like to state that in my opinion, your...

You're an idiot. But for the sake of actually saying something useful, I will use to this opportunity to say why you're an idiot and maybe even you can learn from it. If you did your homework, you would actually see that what wrbtrader does, which no one else does, is show you his trades...

This discussion is far above my comprehension level, but from what I've learned, the smartest guys can be the shittiest traders. (Not that I mean this about anyone in this discussion though) They often are so convinced that something will happen given their mathematical models that they forget...

You're welcome. I don't think there is anything wrong with indicators. They actually help you be more impartial I think as opposed to letting your gut make a decision. But you also have to know exactly what that indicator is doing. It is after all just a derivative of price. When I look at...

If I may, I think many people are bearish simply because of the environment we are in. The interest rates should have been raised long ago, and now when they try, people are expecting the sky to fall. The latest jobs report might even perhaps make it more likely that they won't, so this might...

I personally don't believe in inflation numbers. I'm not an economist, but it seems to me like its a number that can be heavily manipulated to serve a purpose. Likewise, I also don't believe in GDP. If the economy is slow, and the government borrow 1 trillion dollars to build roads and...

Yup.. Japan is a prime example. But I guess when you really have no other choices... then what do you? Just more of the same! :) I think part of the problem with Japan is that the young people leave, and they have firm rules about immigration. Europe and North America are big on immigration...

Is this really the case? Isn't the whole point of introducing negative interest rates to stimulate people to go out and spend money? Its not enough that people don't want to borrow money when it costs next to nothing, but some countries now have to charge people/banks to hold money because...

I remember reading in a post that she said she was in trading rooms with other guys who were calling out amazing trades, so she definitely was in and out of many rooms, but I never saw her say she had her own room. I think when you go back to the very beginning of her posting history... see how...

Very interesting for you to bring up a video from just 2 months ago when NoDoji hasn't been seen in 6 months. The videos for this user only go back 1 year. So when I consider that the height of what NoDoji was doing is years ago, the timeline doesn't match up. Now perhaps you have something...

Fair enough.. and for the record, I like the things you write, so I'm not picking on you, just stating that the rule you mentioned would apply to all. I remember once contacting a member on here in private about his strategy. What was surprising was that the way he was actually trading, which...
