    Michael Covel Says: Greed Is Good

    mihael couvel is a self-proclaimed turtle. he is not a real turtle. he wasn't even featured in one of schwager's books. i didn't even push the view button to see the video. if warren buffet said "greed is good". ok, food for thought, maybe he's being ironic, maybe he really thinks this...

    Anger and strong feelings

    i think it probably has a biological component, a signal chain, which can be traced to ancient times . . . it's a hunter's instinct, not metaphorically, as in "i'm a hunter" . . . but literally . . . in a successful trade you 'hit the target' in the ancient times, a hunter who hit his...

    Please rate my strategy

    i don't have a lot of real trading experience, so i'm not in a position to provide advice. anything with the words 'frequent trading' in it scares me. i did some backtesting on the ES and YM and stopped in horror. that said, i think atr/kettler channels is one of the better tools out there. i...
