    Anyone else think of this? The hilarious and dark comic tension of the scene is totally lost in translation, but still ... Look at that. Picked them up from the printer's yesterday. Good coloring. That's bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Rail. It's very cool, Bateman...

    Bidu about to tank down below $80

    I have never taken a tip from anyone, but given the pedigree couldn't resist a tiny lot on this. Result! Thanks very much Rearden Metal for a hilariously excellent call. If you're ever in England I'll buy you a pint of our finest ale. Perhaps a few $ to yr favourite charity too, if you have...

    Pictures of your trading stations

    Yeah it does suck, especially when eating dinner off it with the keyboard perched precariously among cups of tea under the monitors, but it has to be small as if I encroach another inch on the sitting room territory my wife is likely to banish my "office" to another room. :) I can gaze out of...

    Duref sorry if my chart was unclear. Perhaps your browser is automatically resizing my attachment as it is splendidly clear my end? It should fill a 19" monitor. If not I will try another format next time. I have used an off-white background for a long time and switched to black recently as...

    Duref thank you for your compliments regarding the ramblings of my ravaged mind and also for informing me of Joe Doaks' disparaging VWAP studies. I suspect that in principle he is correct, although not being a fan of mechanical backtests myself I suspect he may have sought fixed levels for entry...

    I must say NQ has sported a beguiling channel over the last two sessions. She looks cleaner than YM (partly due to the tick size I suspect) with better breakouts and more regular geometry. Perhaps I may be converted sooner than I thought.

    Porgie not only do you unduly flatter me - 100% confidence? No way. 35% would perhaps be more apt - for which many thanks, but also you do yourself a disservice. There is a rich seam of sound advice in many of your posts. Discretion can be a very dangerous tool in the wrong hands and the right...

    Hooks 'n' ting ... sorry so unclear ... and 5 min not 2 min ... ah well. Just for demonstration of principle really.

    Arschloch des jungen esel. I do apologise. We Brits may be phlegmatic but even a commodious throat such as mine tires of nasal runoff eventually. Damn the insolubility of mannitol. Anyway, dues must be paid and I'll do my worst to cough up a sou too. The mention of VWAP by our esteemed piscine...

    Yes. :p Is your mettle available for cloning? :) The $36 profit was a delightful touch. Awesome, in the archaic sense. :D

    Trader P/L 2006

    Better today, although I can't work out where that 4k figure on EUR came from as I closed my overnight short far too early and only grossed $1800. I'll never understand IB's method of displaying total open p/l with overnights, it seems to depend when I log in and out and/or when their "reset"...
