you're ok, dude, just stick with it. i think you have what it takes and no, it won't take 12-14 years. remember that futures trading es successfully and consistently is one of the hardest ways to make money in these equity markets. trading stocks is WAY easier, even options, though the cards...

maybe i'm not hanging out with the same crowd you are, but i'm in canada now, and they're jumping around like "happy days are here again" because their looney is suddenly worth more. they can now cross the border and buy everything cheap....

amen. in fact, some of these doggone "gurus" are actually folks who have only been trading futures as long as i have (you know who you are). i guess i'm the only one humble enough to own it.

now, that's funny....:D (no offense sax)

another incredibly insightful thought from the synic. i'm with ya, dude. we'll see how it pans out....

yes, dude, i thought of that. that seems to be how the pundits do it. they stay quiet while they're wrong, then spring out when they're (ultimately) right and say, see, i told ya!!!:D

i'm only up to p. 3373, but so far, summary of the great minds' thinking: mbusch/apex: bear, market will go much lower islands/b1s2: bull, market will go much higher mbusch and apex qualify theirs, saying "if this, then that", so not pure bear, but essential bear. i agree with changing...

i know you don't wanna hear this, but great trade! :D

ya, i was doing that too. i'd make 20 million positive trades and then wipe it all out with one huge negative one. argh!!! that's why synic, apex, and others on this thread (not to mention books) are always saying cut your losses short. this means (relatively) tight stops. getting out...

amen and amen. i would write more, but he said it better than i ever could....

so busy laughing i forgot to make my point, two points actually. all this think for yourself crap is just that...crapola. everybody learns from SOMEBODY, be it a guru or a guy writing a book or anekdoten with his tips for struggling traders (good thread, by the way, thanks j). we are all...

rofl...just reading this post...lol duuuude...who's my boyfriend???? (can i guess???)

okay, i'll stick my neck out and join in the fray, possibly pissing people off along the way. apex is amazing, pure and simple. he's an awesome trader. if that makes me a cheerleader, well then rah, rah, rah! i gotta think that some folks here pissing about the cheerleading are just...

bravo, dude. way to self-assess and modify....

amen, dude

have fun on your b-trip! :p

going out on a limb, here, but speculating that maybe apex had a REAL emergency, like a family thing or something. not like him not to post. and he's rich so it can't be money stuff freakin him out...and he loves to trade, soo...i'm bettin it's something real, like a family issue. so...

he ain't freakin me out, i know his calls are good. after all, he's an apex wannabee :) i miss apex....:(

not hittin it yet and not going to. i'll exercise my self-discipline and ignore him without the button. if it gets too bad, we should all complain and get him kicked out again....

ok, i'm gonna vote with saxon on this one. just cuz it's friday and a long weekend. lately, fridays are happy days....
