Originally posted by xianokie That pretty much says it. Keep on trading, find what works and repeat it until it becomes downright boring.

Hello Aphie, Nice day today. You exercised some discipline. I didn't trade today either. I must say that I agree with amkeer and some others. Jacking up the account with more funds, may not be the best approach. I don't think I would use borrowed from dad funds. Just my...

Originally posted by Aphie Experience is the key to developing a calmness when being in a trade. When I say chill out - right now, I am saying - stop jumping from one battefield to another = trade only one vehicle - be it ES or NQ or SPY or AMAT whatever. Become familiar with one...

Yes it seems fishey, but take a look at a weekly chart of nasdaq, for about four years back, and this bull run that we have been having for past 6 or so days, looks kind of miniscule. The invisible hand doesn't look so strong on the larger timeframe.

If it was an up day I would sell as many eminies as that million would sell and as deep as it would sell them on one tick - for a down day I would buy as many as I could as high as I could for one tick - then I'd wait for the market to come back to normal range and ease right on out of my big...

Hey Aphie, Now here this - take it or leave it - it is up to you. But at least think about it. The vast majority of us on ET want to see you trade well. You kinda grew on us after ya 1000 enthusiastic posts. Now that was in your youth......lol....you are a little bit older now...

initial stops - time in trade - maximum move in desired direction while in trade are nice additions - I like the use of these. Have been enjoying reading your journal. Thanks for the educational posting of your premises for taking on the trades. Keep up the good work...

Allen, I've been enjoying some nice naps in my chair....lol....plumlazy-boy trading method.:D

The NQ 20$ point might be a little easier on the heartbeat, than the ES 50$ point. Just a thought.:)

Aphie, play around with the demo a lot - setting up order lines - stops, etc. Do this until you are reasonably comfortable with tws. Then when you are trading live and make an order mistake - buy when meant to sell or sell when meant to buy- (and you will) - go ahead and kill the trade...

Let me just put it this way - everything that I ever had to let go of "HAS CLAW MARKS IN IT" :D For those who know, there is no explaination needed and for those who don't, it's nearly impossible to explain. Been a little over 20 years now. I have to stand a constant guard over my...

I read this board for quite some time before ever making my first post. I still read a heck of a lot more than I post. I never have considered myself to be very intellectual and don't even care to argue many points. I never have been a big size trader and may never be. I watch the...

I say 'doctor' is der nuthing I can take. Just put de lime in de coconut and drink it all up. Then call me in da morning, mon. Do you mean to tell me dat ya haven't been tossing chicken bones, mon. Mon, I toss dem bones 'before' I turn on de bloomberg. :D

Originally posted by bungrider Nope, Kansas aint the King-plum plan, although Kansas would make a good plan B. Plan A is to take them back to Afghanistan, put them in prison there and let those women wearing those burkas stand guard over them. Then I'll just look the other way.:cool:

Defense stocks may rally but I can't see where it would be all that logical for them to do so, if it is just a war with Iraq. The U.S. allready has plenty enough to beat Iraq and probably wouldn't lose much in the process. But then again, since when have stocks traded according to logic.

Heck, if I was King, I'd nail Iran first for counterfitting our money and using it to buy weapons from China for years.(why do you think we had to change our money) Then knock off Sadam. Then I'd take Cuba, make a resort out of it. Then raise minimum wage and lower welfare. Put enough...

Wow, figured it out on first try - this aint normal for me! Could be a sign! Watch for the market's to do something unbelievable on tuesday :D :D

Well, when the opening post includes a sentence that's talking about turning 5k into 1M in 80 trading days with little % risk, then I would say that this thread could easily get centered around, something/someone else, other than the original topic.:)

And at least one of us is too dumb, to know what you just said, even after you said it for the second time!:D

One other thing, What chris suggests in that "text" about keeping some $ on the line "ie: 50 shares" is all well and fine, but I think Huios is trading one contract ES. Be kinda hard to scale that down. plumlazy
