from www.collider.com interview: Did you shoot Wall Street in New York? STONE: We shot everything in New York, yeah. Was there a different feel this time around? STONE: Oh, yeah. What was the feeling this time around? STONE: Oh, it’s much more computerized and...

Nice chart analysis. Trading is a business where no one gives away money. Nice work on A and B. I like your shift to channel trading but it doesn't always work. Being able to shift back to short at A shows us you are a flexible warrior. :) What was it about the morning that made you feel it was...

LOL - Not really - But it sounds good - Isn't that what half of ET is about?

NoDoji - Great (and no doubt hard won) advice. Matcha - Great chart analysis - more solid evidence of your growing knowledge. +1 for being able to be SOH v.s. chasing an incorrect bias. You're up to the task for sure :D

Specialists and Open Outcry Pit traders are probably right there with traditional travel agents, cursing the technology and market forces which squeezed their "costs" and livelihoods out of the game. LOL - I guess the skin flint brain trust didn't realize that order matching computers don't add...

PO, So true - engineers love order; markets are dis-order engineers understand efficiency; markets try to efficient Best of Luck :) Matcha, I'm not plugged into markets yet, but I caught a bit of premarket chatter on CNBC and thought this would be a great day for you. Your trades...

Years ago, I met someone who had taken finance classes with Richard Teweles while he was still a professor. He said Teweles made the point over and over that trading for small spec's was a "game of inches" not swinging for fences. Be careful how much risk you take on. Kudos for the patience to...

This is true. Most would agree that the markets are fractal in nature. As traders we walk a balance beam between heavy and light bias. Grounding comes only through experience. At any point (always located at the right edge of the chart) only so much can be known. Maybe that is the attraction...

You just made me smile :) Many years ago (before WWW) my first exposure to learning about trading was on CompuServe's financial forums. On line stock trading was just becoming popular and I posted a message lamenting the lack of on-line futures trading. I got a reply from someone who...

Well spoken. A creative mind to see the patterns and non linear things in the squiggly lines. A logical mind to execute and keep you alive. Not easy to balance the two. BR/ FMR

Thanks for posting another interesting chart. I don't mean to pry regarding your methods. I'm here to learn. When I traded it was purely discretionary driven by assessing three vectors - fundamentals (s/d) - psychology - technical. I was working at being a position trader. I stopped trading...

Matcha, What a great journal you've been writing here. Thanks so much for your invite. This is concentrated learning at it's best, I can't help but be impressed by your progress and by all the great advice provided here. I'm looking foward to following this and tackling NoDoji's journal as...

Numbers sometimes reflect synchronicity; but I don't know anyone who has figured out how to take that to the bank. You did a great job capturing the full move on your last trade. Can you tell us more about how your methods / trade approach works? Is it purely mechanical or are there...

A lot of folks don't seem to speak highly of fib's these days. I looked at many years of EOD market data across multiple instruments / markets and found them to be useful in identifying potential S/R targets which is useful in estimating risk / reward for potential positions. BR/ FMR

jinxu, A lot of posters here can feel your pain and have provided good advice. I love the honesty of ammo's comment - many good traders started the same way - head strong - small account - blow up's etc. It takes time to move from.... beginner mistakes to more advanced mistakes (lol). I'm...

Buzzed pointed out good technique for spinning her either way. I guess the value of the test comes from what our brains do on initial viewing. My immediate result was CCW (Left Brained), but I'm also left handed which suggests more of a Right Brain orientation. By profession I'm an engineer...

That says it all. Thanks for posting a page from your playbook. Doubts and second guessing haunt us all - Kudos for the discipline to work it :)

Nice Thread - For an awful subject I worked with someone in the mid 90's that blew up a biz in the mid 80's and stiffed AMEX for ~ 50K. He called them up and just said he couldn't pay. They wrote it off. About 5 years later they solicited him with offers of another account (after he had...

thanks for posting - have read ~ 10% - interesting to see how the "ducks" are being lined up - nice background info. My 10 cent take: Inflation for the devalued (maybe) Recession for the inflated (unless they promote domestic demand) Contraction for all if things become unorderly Long...

The only thing more leveraged than the investments themselves was the bonuses earned per unit real work done. Stupid is the sound bite to play for chumps who love "redemption" and "underdogs". Right now the politico's all playing for distance from the truth which suggests things are going to...
