Would you care to explain what you think might have been the reason for my failure?

Thank you for your explanation. Now the only thing I have to find out what I experienced before my birth. I'm having difficulties remembering anything before I was 3 years old.

It's the thought that counts. Do you really believe Christians are afraid of being poked by a fairy with a pitchfork? They are afraid that they might be mislead to do something regrettable by the temptation of money, sex, or whatever else might drive us.

It is unnecessary for us nowadays, because we have Maxwell's equations. And these equations will be unnecessary as soon as someone comes up with a GUT. Who knows, we might even find out that the original equations were wrong. Newton's formulae were wrong. Einstein's theory is a little better...

I have no idea what he will respond to this, but I would like to ask you, GG, directly: Do you believe there is a heaven or afterlife for you? If so, you obviously have some sort of religion, just like us foolish mortals.

Exactly. The bible says The punishment for sin is death. It's not burning in an eternal fire being poked with a pitchfork by the grinning guy who looks like Dick Grasso and acts like Joseph Stalin. It is death. If you don't ask God for forgiveness so that you may gain eternal life, you...

That might be true if you look at it that way, like if someone has a mole that's shaped like 666 he is evil. This kind of crap is what people whose only knowledge of religion is derived from pagan movies think it is all about. Regarding electricity, the phenomena you observe are caused by...

Your TV set exists as an object with mass, but what you are really interested in is the information it displays, which has no mass. Even the photons that carry the information to your TV set have no mass. An active brain is an active brain. The entirety of its thought processes forms a...

That's just how the eminis trade. If the pressure is high enough to take out all the orders that were placed around the time the price was at that particular level the last time, it usually spills over a tick or more.

Figure that out yourself you must. Lurking about a thread started my he who harrytrader himself calls joy may bring to those who puzzles an affinity have to, however but not necessarily true it is the saying which goes "Here no bull can hide." it being actual Zen saying about bull hiding here.

What do you mean "The devil does not exist?" The devil exists just as much as your soul, feelings, Timon and Pumbaa, quantum physics, the English language, time, eternity, infinity, causality, or elitetrader.com exist. Sure you can't prove their existence to a newborn. For a baby, all that...

Learn from him you will.

Thank you. I believe this is the answer I was looking for. How could I have been so blind? It was simple greed. Case closed.

I voted I just like to trade in the same direction as the daily trend, it being today where this kind of mindset was quite appropriate. But the other results suggest I am not quite an intraday futures trader yet. Then again, maybe I just don't realize it. (I did go long treasury note futures...

Actually, it's more like when I'm right I make $80 and when I'm wrong I lose $200. But this is a huge generalization. I do have $500 winners from time to time, and I am seldom wrong. This is because I am often semi-wrong, which produces a result of anywhere between negative $50 and positive $50.

Could somebody who actually KNOWS define price improvement for us. In particular, there are two idiosyncrasies at the NYSE, and I would like to know which one(s) of these is/are referred to as price improvement: 1. When the quote is 50.20 x 50.25 and you submit a marketable buy order you...

This might be true. I remember leaning back contently and watching ZN drop for a few seconds, before I realized I wasn't actually short.

Coming into this morning I was short 1 ES, and I didn't want to have this risk at 8:30, so I decided to either cover the ES or sell one ZN. At about 8:15 I decided to short a ZN instead of covering the ES. I was waiting for a good entry point, and a few came and went, then it was getting close...

Or make sure it is connected to a brain under the influence of mind-altering drugs, preferably ones you sell.

I'm reading this thread, and all the time I keep wondering, Why would someone who makes a few hundred thousand a year on a regular basis take on debt in any form? Next thing you'll tell me they all carry $20k on their credit cards.
