I think the gun ranges are few and far between in civilization. We may have to come up by me where I have a membership. You have concealed carry or will you be "Castle"-ing it? Regardless, if there's anything you want to shoot, I have an arsenal. Against my better judgement, I just reopened...

Wait a minute. How old are YOU? Don't you know old codgers don't take advice well? I'll tell you an old joke. A cub reporter is sent up into the hills to interview the oldest living man in the state. He asks the old man, "What's the secret to your long life?" The old man scratches and rocks...

Off topic, I am betting they cancel the TraderSexpo in Dallas for lack of interest. I know I don't have much interest. But Maybe the Opie will hire some booth babes. On another thread I discovered that pissper and I are almost neighbors. He's in Flower Mound, presumably not under one.

God, I thought I was cruel. I am not an old fat fuck. I am a fat old fuck. That makes all the difference. And I do exaggerate a bit for effect. I am actually 5'11" and 185 pounds. But I am old. And most decidedly a fuck. Discipline? What is that? IMO no substitute for good genes. Discipline will...

I know I am beating a dead horse (actually, a girlfriend said that to me late one Saturday night), but given this thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=214607 if feel gobligated to state my case simply. Being or becoming a conventionally mentally healthy person in...

Red, you are thoooo inthenthitive! Perthonal rethponthibility? How thoooo no today! You need help dethperately for that macho attitude!

I think this must be love. You and I seem to come down on opposite sides of any issue. Of course I have had those experiences with my own systems. But I didn't need to go whining for help to a coach who doesn't even trade. The pain of failure to follow the system and seeing it outperform my...

If a pig talked ugly about a cow, would you call that bashing? Or inter-species bickering?

Unless you are getting your trade entries by divine intervention, there is an algorithm in your brain that determines them. It is more correct to say that you cannot bring that algorithm into awareness. But interesting things happen when you try really hard.

I was thinking of the short you so brilliantly took. The price pattern was picture perfect, like an illustration out of an Oliver Velez book. On the one-minute chart at 10:15 ET the volume was 4666, significantly below blowout for NQ. The reason you have trouble deciding on whether or not to...

Indeed I do. No self-disrespecting mentor can function effectively without one. But mine is short and requires only simple yes/no responses, as follows: Do you feel that the solution to your trading problems is inside yourself? Do you think that your poor trading is a result of an...

I will repeatedly stick a bamboo sliver under your fingernail until you do.

I can teach you to be a better trader in one day by showing you how to backtest. Save yourself the pain of self-discovery and just make the money. Once you have the money you can spend it on self-discovery. I can suggest some exotic locales with loose cheap women.

No spam is good without mustard, so here is the link to his site: http://www.randehowell.com/personal_empowerment.html The books are here: http://www.randehowell.com/personal_development_tools.html All I have to say is that you don't need ANY self-improvement or self-knowledge if you...

How can you trade anything that doesn't report volume? If I were trading it I would have to make some up just to keep that part of my screen lit.

Yesterday here was a fine example of the trader's perfect life. Iced in for the second day. Rolling power outages. Did I have to struggle to get to work, only to be frustrated by constantly crashing computer infrastructure? No. My cable service went down, I switched to wireless. Three...

Ah, yes, never was there a more wholesome avocation. Keeps you in the house so you don't get sick mingling with the great unwashed masses, unless your own unwashedness makes you ill. Encourages virtuous living becasue you never make enough money to get into trouble. Provides more than...

How many noobs think today's (2/3/11) post-10AM ET trade was a no-brainer? Standby. Testing 1...2...3...

Somebody has to serve as an example of survivorship bias. Even if, or especially if, it is shit luck.
