Wanna get good politicians in office? Well the people will need to DEMAND it. If the wimpy fools that vote people in and out of office stay the course they will get more of the same. A few days of marching down the main streets in USa will get some attention, but americans in general are...

Well i hate to be the bearer of bad news for Mutual Fund investors but you can better believe i have read ramblings about where Mutual Funds are clamoring for less and less regulation. You can be assured the fat cats in the industry want LESS and LESS regulation, especially as they see more and...

Patricia Dunn got my vote when she cracked the joke about the pope getting the attention in the news. :D Someone secure enough in her beliefs in times of stress that can crack juch a dangerous joke is fine in my book, says a lot about her courage. Thank You Have not followed the...

Well if indeed there was a PPT and the word got out................Tony Snow would speak for the PPT and say: "it is just cotton candy". Look at all of the republicans out there that have been disconnected from their own "intellectual honesty" in believing there was/is a connection between...

Stress, not out of control can be a great motivator for those wired properly. LOL Experience on the battlefield with real bullets (traders = real money) is the only way one gets to know SELF. We all react in our own way when under the gun. Myself, i think being able to understand the...

Holygrail so what do you trade the other 95% of the time that the mkt is not in a beginning bull mode? Sorry, could not resist...:D

steveD Where did you ever get the notion that retail traders compete against computers? Retail traders use bots as a tool for speed of entry, exit. Ok, some do a little coding etc but in no way do retail traders challenge the big houses. The game the big houses play is not the game small...

William Simon, head of a treasury desk at Sollie i think (i read this from a book) said to his traders at the trading desk: "look you guys, do not get intellectual in these markets, JUST TRADE THEM...........IF you guys were not bond traders you would be driving a truck" .............I...

FWIW, i found it interesting this morning watching the Ryder cup and Tiger Woods. I have related the "HEAD" games involved in trading with golf for a long time. Tiger is a champion for sure, the guy seems to thrive on stress within the game. BUT, whenever he plays with a partner, be...

I must be completely honest and make a statement. When i get the urge to get into the ET forums every once in awhile and troll through some threads ....................i usually come away with a total and complete understanding why there are and always will be a certain amount of traders out...

Then how do you explain the larger drawdowns position traders must sit through to get to the higher profits? Nothing comes without relevant costs in opportunity lost, etc. Psychological, emotional and fear are in all time frames etc. it just depends how the trader deals with them...

ok, let me put it this way. First a word to bitstream, thks for remaining a fan. ..:D In my own trading, (ES only) i trade off the opening, most often after the first 5 minute bar starts as a setup for a signal, ok. If choppy during early bars i will not sit and get chopped up...
