Damir, I'm not asking to manage your money. I don't think anyone here has made an offer. What are you trying to say or imply? I'm confused by your posting. Bruce

Yes I realized that. I'm not posting to make you a believer. I'm sharing what I share. Whether or not you gain something from what you read here is not my responsibility. I don't let it bother me about the verifiability part, though. I figure if a person is posting here they have a reason...

Are you joking or what? LOL. Every trader contributing to this thread is sharing his or her experience of some aspect of trading. Mostly, it has been directed toward the psychological aspects of what people go thru when trying to adapt to the trading environment. Some people view at as a...

"The 1.5pt/day is indirect. It is the cumulative result of many, many individual events -- trades. So if the "limiting belief" does not affect the individual trades, then, as I said earlier, its effect on the long run average is either non-existant, or so insignificant, that there is little...

LOL, Because I don't know the total points gained. Nor do I keep a record of the contracts per trade. The spreadsheet I posted is changed every full day I can trade and it contains the trades for whatever I'm trading, either NQ or ES. I only keep the results of the full days I trade. I have...

No, you're confusing that day's performance with my average over those 9 days. That day after expenses and losses amounted to $384.80. Divide that by $50 and you get a little over 7.5 pts. Somewhere in this thread I posted Vic Niederhoffer's estimate of his own success: roughly two million...

Wow, givin' him some love, huh guys? :D

It does for me if I click on my original post. It doesn't work if I click on your quoted post. Bruce

It is hard letting them go. Like was said, I am stuck. I went down almost $600 yesterday trying to change to a different time frame. I have to make the change I know. But like was said, I will have to continue to scalp until the new way of trading can support itself. Thank you for...

No, that is the last day I traded and kept results. I traded yesterday about 6 times with the 'disasterous' results I already posted about when I started this line of thought. As I said, my nine days of trading yielded roughly $600 in profits that amounts to about 1.44 pts. a day. My...

I just did the calculation on my trades: $647.60/9 = $71.96 or 1.44 pts. Bruce

I'm none of what you say. But I'll post my results. I figure if you see these it may give you some hope that even an idiot can make a start of it. Bruce

Evidently, you didn't read enough. Posting here is almost exactly like trading. People have convictions about things and post their opinions based on these. Other people disagree. Still others are brought into the melee because their reading stimulates them to thinking about what they...

Hi Natalie, I look at developing a trading edge as the ability to adapt to different market conditions. Since I am just beginning to understand trading my focus is very simple: how to get in the market with the best chance of winning and then getting out with the money. If I design a...

I was really looking for your suggestion...I like Swing's name. As to my hypothetical report of his performance, maybe Mr. Efficiency would suit him...I'm only guessing because you asked though. Using ES as a vehicle and playing for 1 pt. is might be possible with multiple contracts and...

Hi Bernd, What would that be? Bruce

Bruce, I think the distribution of the different versions of his name warrants a formula of its own. I found 9!! "Chebyshev or Tchebycheff Pafnuty Lvovich Chebyshev was a notable Russian mathematician, who was born on 16 May 1821 and died on 8 December 1894. He wrote on number theory...

It seems to me, that having all the cognitive skills in the world is useless without great care and attention over the psychological aspects. Does that make any sense? Best Natalie It is now almost 4 am in England. Without proper rest you will be straining your psychological...

I hardly ever do this...that is easily the best market pep talk I have ever read. Thanks Jack. Bruce
