I wonder too, brother Indahook... Or am I trading the old contract on rollover day again? :D ~The Scientist

Oooh, Gekko! Losing temper now? :p Man your immaturity never fails to surprise me. Let's list up some great quotes: <i>-"A person without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls" -"Get all the advice that you can & be wise for the rest of your life" -"Fools think...

Excellent post! Go and read this post very carefully, Flashboy! Then print it out and internalize it. Hang up a copy on your office wall, toilet wall, bedroom wall. Don't ever forget those rules. These are the rules all traders must follow. Learn them inside out! Every trade must be...

"I make an effort not to overdo it", "beer is my friend", "I'll throw up maybe 1-2X a year"... "I'll throw up maybe 1-2X a year from drinking"... Speaks for itself, doesn't it? And you want to be a trader? LOL!!! What a loser! :eek: Gekko, if you really want to actually succeed as a trader...

-Good post.

It's actually early morning where I'm now, the US markets are closed, the Australian markets are not open yet, and I fee like some discussions on ET. Anything wrong with that? For over half a year after joining ET, I didn't make any posts - Why? Because I was just studying what's going on in...

I think that a good trader would kick the sh*t out of a bad trader in a losing contest. The better trader would still win, even with reversed goals. A good trader should not only know how to win, but particularly how to lose. If he doesn't, he's only half-accomplished. In that way, doing...

"Amateur Hour" = Love it! :) The morning (particularly on the ES) has the single most statistically predictable time pivots, thus is the most predictable time of the day altogether, if you know what's supposed to happen when. If you know the time pivots, you only need to know where the...

Dear Brother Jeff, I admire your confidence to declare your error in here - And this is something every trader faces from time to time. Nothing special. If you have the discipline to look at yourself and realize your mistakes, you're already halfway there as a trader. However, there...

I'll PM you in a sec... :) ~Scientist

You're only partly right. From a magnitude point of view, you're right. From a principle point of view, you're not. What I mean is that more fear and less greed will hardly make you succeed. In fact, it would make your trading even worse, not to mention stressful. The point I'm getting...

AMEN ~Scientist

You're right. It's your thread. You're welcome to be referee! :) Don't worry - I'm sure you'll get to learn a lot in this flaming contest. Just listen to what I've got to say and do the opposite of what DT-waw has to say, and you'll be way ahead of the game. Everybody place their bets...

ptt, I do have adequate execution speed. Information travels from the USA to here at lightspeed, so there's no difference. The overseas problem is other than that - What would the tax implications be for me, buying an exchange seat in the USA? And could I even buy one? And could I live...

Staying calm is good. You're still engaging in warfare, though, calm or not. Am I pissed off? Yes I am! Am I angry? Sure not. You don't know me yet. The only thing that can make me angry is the current destruction of our planet and all the actions of nasty politicians and corporations out...

<b>What you didn't realize, Mister Twister, is that you're attempting to make an idiot out of me, whether you're calling me one or not. Get this man: I don't need bullshit from swing-trading rookies. This was originally a scalping thread, where people were seriously discussing this trading...

Stop talkin' folks! http://www.acura.com/models/nsx_index.asp?section=home&page=index&bhfv=6&bhqs=1 Do you think the fact that Acura and Starfleet share the same symbol is just coincidence? :D ~Scientist

Your words = Music in my ear... :cool: ~Scientist

Richtig, De Tomaso. Hat sich ja irgendwie in einen englischen Slangnamen entwickelt. :) Ich hab' das mit den 4.5 mio irgendwo gelesen, bin aber jetzt auch nicht mehr sicher. 1 mio. hoert sich dann aber auch wieder ziemlich billig an. Kriegst ja nicht mal 'nen guten Rolls-Royce dafuer. Da...

Agreed. Partly. Absolutely minimize your exposure as long as you're still new. With penny-per-share pricing like you get with Interactive Brokers, there's no reason not to start with absolute minimum. Trade 10 shares at a time. Then 20, 50, 100 and so on - Once you're getting better of...
