INTP here.

You are making some general and biased statements here. I will be the first to say that your are presenting an opinioned viewpoint that holds little fact; other than an account of possibly your own experiences. Words like "almost universally" should be a warning flag to anyone here. Look, I...

I'm not sure I see the point of this thread.. its like saying - because I can read english - its my favorite language... kind of stupid IMO. The specialist isn't out there to screw you (in all but very rare cases), she/he is helping you enter/exit the market - all the while keeping price...

The referenced thread shows the progression of a "rebate trader" attempting to employ strategies similar to yours. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40192 Worth a read to any potential rebate trader.

I think you may need to think about setting stops in a different way. Note that trading is a very personal thing, what works for someone may not work for someone else, but, maybe I can provide some decent input. Price zones, especially zones that demonstrate tight consolidation (intraday...

I am thinking this market may want to stay in a consolidation mode for a day or two. This run-up has been quite strong and I wouldn't be suprised to see some premature profit taking and then another strong run-up.

The last three days have been some of my most profitable ever. This is today's futures PnL only. I still have several stock trades open. This latest trend in the eminis has been fantastic to say the least.

What kind of idiotic crap is this? I don't even know where to start tearing this post apart at... USC? Did you go there? Well, I got my graduate EE degree there. One of the best schools in the world IMO. "Don't have to derive functions..." DAMN YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT Let me guess you...

I participated a few times last year and I can tell why I do not participate currently. Its mostly because I do not see what posting just my blotter would bring to the table. Other than showing a number and some executions, the idea seems more self serving than anything else. Funny you...

Great posts Steve. Very much appreciated and thanks for those references and links. Regards, Mike

Hi Steve, I do not want to be the one who says this outright - but.... You are providing priceless information for free - no joke, the discipline and knowledge you have takes years to understand... please don't expect the readers of this thread to take it seriously. You have to...

Well, from what I'm hearing... it sounds like CW is soliciting people to "suck either his left or right nut". Geez CW, do you have anything worthwhile to offer? I mean, nuts and all are great if I was into what you are into.. but I'm not.... I'm sure there are some other sites you can go to...

I would think these points are fundamental to any strategy... I don't think I could honestly take anyone seriously when they do not have at least a "rough" answer to all these questions. In any case, most of these questions are easily answered if you watch a market enough - if you sit there and...

Why is it that your post sounds like you are trying to convince yourself of what you are? Michael, make your resolution a reinforced belief in yourself and your abilities. Stop this anxiety and doubt. I know it sounds cheesy but believe in yourself. Mike

True(er) words are rarely spoken:)

Steve46, The dumpster (aka vagina) monologues appealed to my inner sense (no pun intended) of self-apathy. Your recent helicopter posts have put me into a limbo that begs the question: "does life really have a point beyond that of deciding between that cheap bottle of vodka versus the...

Seriously loza, Ever hear of karma, bud? What comes around goes around - always. http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/Savinganddebt/Savemoney/P99649.asp Does anyone know who takes the hit on that defunct loan? Most likely the underwriters I would think... Mike

Thanks for the response. Too funny, I'm 6'2 ~190 and played college ball too. Catcher. Right now my life revolves around traveling and surfing, and the markets of course. In terms of physical exercise, I'm lucky because I live steps from the beach in town with very good surf. This keeps me in...

Think of it this way: Price increases in order to reduce the number of buyers.

Steve, May I ask what types of behaviors you are trying to alter/eradicate? Mike
