Simple yet profound. One can make much more money from a trading framework than a trading system, i.e., a system or combination of systems that is "all in" the market.

Sheesh, that was the most painful short ever. Still short QQQ from basis 33.85 and SPY 103.56. Played about 8 games of BrickBreaker on the Blackberry to soothe the pain. But can't complain too much - the morning futures have pointed the way on the last few economic releases, maybe some...

If you shorted on the open, you're gonna be real happy at the end of the day. Unemployment rate unchanged, ISM weak, and job #s a temporary blip. Big deal.

I liked the book. If anyone wants to see crap, then they should check out your lame Web site. Got any updates later than 08/20/2002? :D

I hear it's a nightmare, but don't listen to the naysayers.

Yup, I'll bet you faded today, right Trend Fader? :D

People who lose money in the markets generally like to see others lose money.

Why don't you look up the traditional definition of tape reading? You may be able to learn something yourself.

Dana Point, Laguna Beach, La Jolla, Malibu, or Santa Barbara are okay, too. Any other questions? Okay, we're done here then.

Nope, you're stuck in the 80's mindset here, although I respect the true programmers who understand tight memory requirements and code for performance. I can't think of many instances where the project has driven the implementation language choice, unless you're writing a device driver or an...

Useless. For retail hacks only. Sold to you.

Yesterday, I was unusually horny, and yes, this state seems to coincide with the full moon. I believe the term for it is subcutaneous high tide.

Many of the programmers who grew up on C eventually learn C++ but fall short in object-oriented design. Bring back Objective-C and NeXTSTEP! Seriously though, if you're new to programming, start with Java and learn good software design in the process instead of getting waylaid by the legacy...

I'm into "trade what you know". :D

Todd Harrison had a horrific CNBC interview and was clearly out of his element with Haines (lots of "ya know"). He did mention his firm Todd Harrison Capital Management in which he urged viewers to send money his way.

Agree, "trading is war" is a goddawful cliche for those who never actually fought one. My favorite sports interview ever was with Marv Levy, coach of the Buffalo Bills. After winning an important game, he was asked the typical dumbass postgame questions: Reporter: Marv, was this game a...
