I loved his mailing. Him smiling and claiming to make these huge gains. Then their are people also smiling and saying how they retired in a couple of months. Yeah, if it was that good then why do you sale it? Truly some of the most humorous claims I've ever heard.

I hope that's not just from some mechanical system bact testing. I knew a guy with a similar curve printout. He then tried to sale his system for 5k. But, never would trade it himself- Reason- The commisions, spreads, slippage would eat up the curve real time. Now if this is an actual...

There are 2 methods I know of without indicators. One is when the recent support on a 3-5 min chart is also broken. This means the market sometimes needs to sell off more. Another is when it breaks a 75-80%retracement mark and has trouble going back up. Then it stalls and falls. Some really...

I've read a couple of threads but have not got a date, time etc for ET members meeting. Is anyone else still up for it? I think Friday evening would be a great time. Location is no big deal as I'm no Las Vegas expert. What about everyone else?

I don't think trying to convince someone trading is good will work. It will take lots of time that you could be using for studying etc. Let your actions speak louder than your words. Also papertrade until you have some sort of system and then start way small. You do not want to lose massive...

I think it's the core idea's. I mean you could use swords, horses etc as an analogy. But, I think there's way to much to remeber. So just understanding the core and aplying it is the key. Remember that the road to being a succesful trader is one long road. You need to read and study lots of...

I traded with them once. At least I thought I did. It turned I was imagining the whole thing. The entire experience was a computer simulation contsructed to appear as reality. A bit of a shame really becuase I made a fortune with them. Runningbear Haaa haaa haaa. Good one runningbear...

I did not see dbtraders reply while I was typing mine. But, He's also right I think.

I think lots of people read it them for these two reasons. In trading you need two things (besides money in a account). One is a strategy for how you will trade the market. This is what you will hear called the "search for the holy grail". But, just because you have a method or system is no...

If I remember right, then you could look at a paper/call broker for the O,H,L,C and manually imput it. Then while on the road you could call the broker for updates and to make orders. This will be more swing trading, but gives time to enjoy your vacation. I hope this helps.

Breakout, That book is great for someone with a foundation in TA and wants to further his education. It's like a encyclopedia of TA almost. It also gives you EL code if you want to learn programing with TS. It has a place in my library and I use it when I hear something and want a quick...

If you are a total newbie then I'd recomend Charting Made Easy by John Murphy and also 7 Chart Paterns that make money by Ed Downs. These 2 books are only like 60 pages each, really small and very easy reading and really cheap. But they tell you the basics of TA and don't have any extra b.s...

Lobster, I will give you my thoughts. My best friend sounds a lot like you. A very smart/deep thinker. It's sometimes his downfall even because he see's a tree more then it really is. I am a nurse and have extensive biology backround/ reproduction theory. I am a christian and know some...

I did not know people were replying to my answers. Well, the man I am talking about does not daytrade gamma sacalping. That is more of a way to hedge. He did high risk directional trades for his massive turnarounds. Like the qqq etc he only traded the index options. Gamma scalping was a...

so gg does this mean that electronic trading does not exist? There is no real mass to the trades. There is no physical money or physical commodity trading physical hands (emini s&p). So is it just a illusion made up in our heads. Or how about radio waves. I have never seen one but I have...

I know a guy who makes tons of money a day. He learned it form a ex cboe floor trader who had 20yr of not one losing month. The guy has a feel for the markets. No real technical analysis per say. He does advanced gamma scalping type of trading. Not much volatility playing (like...

Great job GG. I hope all of your dreams come true. Just make sure that you keep your head clear. Just remember the tortoise and the hare (the ego can be a downfall sometimes). I hope this success continues none the less.

Hi, AMT, This has been very nice of you (for helping us see the bigger picture in trading. So many people want the easy money in trading. But, usually only through hard work and determenation can you get it done. I have a friend (ex-marine recon) who is a man of action. He says the secret...

I was wondering what traders consider better for actual trading purposes. Which one helps with stocks, commodities and options. Keeps all relevant news up to date etc. Also if you use one do you use the electronic one or the paper copy. Also if you have any method of using it or scanning...

One way I look for books is go to the amazon.com reviews. If you see a book that looks interesting, then go and search for it at amazon.com. It will usually have reviews from buyers that are pretty good. It will give you a more broad opinion instead of just one person. Also you can sometimes...
