I prefer a dip of skoal when I trade. May I recommend apple blend. lol

lol sorry but what in the hell is that suppose to mean?

Just figuring the p/l for the journal so far. $15905 is total profit on the journal!!! A near 160% return so far. Things have just kind of clicked this year. I remember last year (my first year in commodities) I struggled to just not lose money. All and all this has been quite a year. I...

To be honest street smarts imo can not be taught through a book. The only way to learn it is to be thrown out in the jungle with everyone else. You have to learn how to survive and not only survive but thrive in any particular enviroment you find yourself in. You do whatever it takes to...

Great day today! Man I love sugar! Out of all 22 contracts at 1030. $6160 profit!! I about didn't take the money and wanted to keep holding on but my gut (along with rsi) says we are oversold here and due for a little pullback. Possibly to 1020 and then I will probably get long again if we...

Well its a 2 hour late start today for school because of all the snow we got here. So im taking advantage! Long 10 more sugar at 10.20. Average is now 22 contracts at 10.05. This thing is going higher imo. Probably over extending myself here but I feel good about sugar. Cotton starting...

Sugar up about .06 again this morning everyone. Testing the 1020 level and looks to break above it. If we can hold 1020 there is no doubt in my mind we are going to 1080. I think I might add more contracts around the 1020 mark during the day. India came out yesterday and said they are going...

He really is isn't he? I have yet to meet a more intelligent man than my dad. Although to be honest he is not a big fan of formal education and the likes. In his opinion it is just a piece of paper (but he also says you need that piece of paper because everyone else has it). Yeah I should...

oh believe me I have tried but he refuses to let me. He knows that im a go getter and that when I finally graduate I will be gone for good so he wants to keep me at home for as long as he can. We own a seat on the MGEX and I wanted to work there during the summer as a clerk or something...

lol well hell good for your parents. If I had a successful trader as a son I would just sit back and enjoy the ride. Maybe spend a little more time hunting and fishing! Not nearly as genius as you might think. I have a 3.0 gpa in high school and am going to probably end up at iowa state...

lol yeah but im more of a beer man to be honest (must be the country in me). My parents are supportive because my dad does it for a living. The rest of my family hates it. Take my grandparents for instance. They think I will not amount to anything and be a gambler all my life lol! Same...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Feel free to post on the journal anytime. I have been in talks with some contacts I have in chicago and they are trying to get me a job with a few firms there but said that if I wait until im graduated from high school and then come down to chicago they will...

silver thanks for the concern. Yes I am very profitable trading (not bragging but telling the truth). So far this year im up a little over 100% on a $10,000 account. Check out my journal called youngtraders commodity journal.....how origional I know lol. I am mainly a position trader and do...

silver thanks for the reply but I already thought of this. Yes at my age not many in this industry take me serious but I believe numbers speak for themselves. Im a very profitable trader although I have much to learn and to be honest I have a feeling my folks are going to cut off my trading so...

Im 17 going to be 18 in june and wondering if I can trade prop remote from my home or an office near by. I live in rural Iowa so going to a major city during the summer is out of the question (believe me I have already asked my parents). The main reason I want to trade prop is for the leverage...

WOW what a day today!!!! This has been probably the most exciting day I have ever experienced in the markets (notice how I didn't say darkest day......cough cough bean trade). Sugar rallied hard today breaking through the 1000 resistance point I talked about. I went long 10 contracts at...

Exactly, what the hell are you guys talking about Minneapolis is home to the MGEX. The best thing is most of the volume is in the pit so you could get a job as a clerk or something on the floor then make some contacts down there and when everything eventually goes electronic they will be...

Got coffee up about .2. Kind of a fluke this morning because every other contract month is down except march (maybe its just my bad luck lol). Looking at 131.5 as next resistance. If broken then we are headed to 132. After this I will have already exited my positions lol! But really this...

Frank, Thanks for the compliments! It makes me feel good when I get posts about people reading and enjoying the journal. Its hard for most in this industry to take me very serious because of my age. Its good to be put on a level playing field with all the rest of the traders and not be...

Mark, The cotton, coffee and sugar trades I was talking about above are good ones to look at. Don't really follow the meats much but im bullish corn so that will hurt the price of feeders as a rule. Because of the simple fact that feed is the biggest expense for cattle feeders. In times...
