Yes, they are soooooo serious over there. I sincerely wish I could get into it, but I learned years ago I'm just not smart enough. And every time I post something funny Jack dissects my character like a frog in biology class and makes me cry. So I am permanently banished to the bush leagues of...

Great trade! Did YM lead? FYI, the old methods still work. I use an estimator that is very close to an 18 EMA on a one-minute chart, and my signal to bail the short was the upward break of that estimator at 9:21 CT. You recall that Spydie early on said to put a 20 EMA (I think) on the chart...

Thank you for your support, 225. Here's one from today I'm sure you'll love, from one of our biggest idiots here: "Here we go...... NO RISK IN THIS MARKET.......PERIOD!"

Sorry, I get confused easily. I chart and trade in Pacific time, but like you, actually live in Central. If you were really jacking, shouldn't you have been long the channel traverse starting around 9:21 Central? That's exactly when I bailed my NQ short from 8:41 Central, although I don't draw...

Good for you, Doug! Would you provide the times please, so I can look at the trade? My NQ system didn't work for shit this AM, just a few ticks net, indicating a narrow range day, so I am out until the close and ready to learn from you.

Thunderdog, we shall see in coming weeks. I think we are beginning to see the effects of unbelievable complexity piled on top of improbable complexity. I sense that a breakdown of legendary nwbpropian proportions looms. Chuck, thanks for amplifying. I really respect your opinion, although I...

On a less serious note, I am seriously contemplating seeking sponsorship of the Psych thread as a system provider. I have a panoply, not to mention a canopy, of index futures trading systems which I currently provide gratis to my trading therapy clients. I am current on the latest therapeutic...

Chuck, please amplify on what you mean about thoughtfulness not being a requisite of good trading. I don't get it it, because for me the rationality of system trading frees me to be thoughtful (I will say pensive) between signals, and therefore more open to letting new ideas into my head. In...

"My goodness, just look at everyone jumping in, hurry hurry the train is leaving the station chooo chooo" THAT certainly sets a high standard for analytical posting!

Ah, a self-selected society, an inward-looking community whose sense of collective self is reinforced by external criticism. But even YOUR observation is suspect as you are eligible for social security, as I recollect.

To whom it may concern, my personal email is down (how can the top NASDAQ company fail to provide reliable email?), so I am not ignoring you in favor of ET, I just can't get to your brilliant messages.

"The large picture is that you must be very thoughtful and rational about how to make money trading." I don't know about you guys, but this was a real revelation to me. I had been doing my best to be thoughtless and irrational. Guess I'll have to shape up.

I said dementia, not demented. But it DOES look like the market at mid-day. Remember, ET, I will be watching for examples. And I know just where to look. At the usual suspects.

My point is made in the very first thread response. I know for a fact that the responder is over four times the age of consent for girls in West Virginia.

I am system trading today, as opposed to indiscretionary trading, which has left me with lots of time to reflect. In between infrequent monitoring of the system, I have been searching in vain for useful trading information on ET. What purports to be wisdom today varies from the fantastically...

Steve, thanks for sharing your positive results. Keep it up!

Well, dear friends, for my trouble here I have been accused of being a drunk, an alias, a smelly sock, and an A-Teamer. Feel free to carry on. I'm going to have a drink and watch "Rome". Oh, the luxury of being able to kill one's adversaries!

Trader225, front-running is a definite possibility.

Maxpi, welcome here, and thank you for your insights. We need more hard technical input.

Thunderdog, now that you have named said guru, I shall comment directly on his composition style. Its primary objectives are to put the seeds of self-doubt into the subconscious minds of detractors, and to insert images of limitless easy wealth into the conscious minds of potential adherents...
