How does it make you feel that someday your spirit will lay your body aside like a well-loved garment and move on to the place it loves best?

I looked through that journal url you posted...nowhere did I see the mistake of letting one's significant other brandish a firearm and then shoot two monitors necessitating a bakesale by the faithful to get you going for your gig at Woodie's room.

Everybody gotta have a dream. Truth is, Eddie's trailer was just a single.

With all due respect, "Quitters never win and WINNERS NEVER QUIT!" And by the way, the breezes are real nice in a double-wide in the South this time of the year. So you might want to put that in your pipe and smoke it, hillbilly boy.

I wouldn't limit yourself to no losses in 26 straight trading days. My experience in scalping markets has taught me it is usually better to keep trading small 'comeback' trades rather than let a losing day sit on the books and poison the rest of your week. This is jmo, maybe others think it...

This was an interesting thread. It looks like there is quite a bit of risk-taking behavior by using a pyramid style of trading. I have scalped the ES a couple of years ago and had a really good win ratio but it was always for .25 to .50 point, seldom more. Also, I used one contract. I think...

Another guy with a desk job, sheesh! Congratulations, King. :)

I suppose that old salute, "See you in the funny papers," has, at base, some truth. My mistake. Anyway, it's good to have tampa back as a Journalist and to see you posting again Mr. Sub. See you guys later.

I've been reading your blog, you've eaten more losses than I've had capital. My goal is to get to 100K this year but this recent return of my illness still finds me about 30K short. So I have my doubts. Still, on days I feel well enoguh to trade for real I do, other days I practice. Today...

All right, well, some roads are best travelel alone. I guess this is one of those. Since your assessment of my trading career appears to be spot on, let me ask you a question about chart design? Do you get more satisfaction from the design process itself or from the monetary reward...

Man, that was quick, tampa. And thanks for inviting me back. I've got to go back to the hospital next week and all for the serious stuff... In the meantime, since you seem to be a learned man, acquainted with the ways of the world...I know this is your journal and don't answer if you don't...

Indeed, I can hear that heretofore dumb brute telling me the Angel of the Lord awaits me with a mirror-like sword. Until, and when, we meet again, I bid you adieu.

Before I take leave...tampa you are a true philanthropist---you won't toil for your crust of bread should another be found wanting, you post charts for the artisitic value of what might be garnered from them, you charitably allow your broker to close your trades at margin stop lest he...

Well, you definitely have mine. BTW started reading your blog and will attend to it further after a delay for medical treatment...no you are not keeping me in stitches and no...it isn't terminal or even very serious. You probably know how things drag on. See ya' around? bd

That's it, that's your trading style? I like the different colors on your chart. You remember back in Bible times when Jacob wanted to breed sheep, he would put the bars of the pen first one way and then another and every time the sheep would breed better, or somethin'? Maybe you should use...

May I suggest the wonderful rejuvenating effects of watching the occasional good movie? I've subscribed to such a service for the past year and found inspiration and a renewed sense of purpose from watching some old favorites. It does take the sharp edge off the rough days and allows a faster...

"While useless trades with zero expectancy arguably never hurt anybody, they do consume time, commissions and slippage!" --The Student There's the writing on the wall as it applied to me when I was looking for ways to trade stocks more efficiently. I started out reading P/E ratios of...

from page 89 October 1997, TASC, interview by Thom Hartle with Tushar Chande, TH: So how did you benchmark these systems? TC: I benchmarked them using correlation, return-variation ratiio*, ... and proportion of profitable rolling three-, six-, and 12-month intervals. I also noted the...

Wow, impressive initiative! I don't know if the excerpt gives much info relative to what you posted. I have that issue, naturally. I will make a post with some info from the article as it relates to your post. It is just possible I am on a tack unexplored by you, that of using some ideas...

Alrighty, thanks for your thoughts and I agree about hijacking this thread, but if Acrary is trading the night hours he's gonna need something to read and think about while he's sitting there. 'Night to you.
