of course, today lean hog futures CRASHED after I covered for a loss(albeit a small loss)... such is life.

I actually long it just now in my IRA account. I can afford the time to hold onto this one. I thought about it in my taxable account but said nah. I will see how it evolves. Might flip it today if the action doesn't look good. Or I might hold for several days.

Agreed. Corporate America is a joke. Treacherous. Backstabbing. Lying. Cheating. Political games. Incompetent managers abound. I believe it's more important to act and behave in ideal behaviors(not that one can always achieve it). Be civilized. Be kind. Be good. Who cares if the entire world is...

OUCH! https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/argentina-financial-crisis-cost-autonomy-capital-gibbins-1-billion-report-2019-9-1028503298

My comment was not that good leaders are SAINTS. Their personal behaviors are often not as good as their public behaviors. Everyone has personal demons, addictions, and vices. No one expects our greatest leaders to be SAINTS. I'm talking about leadership styles not personal vices. If you...

9/5/2019 ============= Realized gains: GC: $731 MGC: $104 NG: $31 MNQ: $69 NQ: $55 =============== Total Realized Gains: $988 Thanks goodness today I'm back to more respectable stats. I know @Overnight isn't gonna like this one. But I made most of my money in GC today. In fact, I could have 5x...

yeah. i just like to say points when I mean ticks. It's totally choppy and directionless today. Yesterday was a HUGE UP MOVE but unfortunately I was in a non-trading meeting I had to attend. But usually after a big up day it's choppy the next. And Thursdays are announcement day. I usually wait...

Well, that's all good in theory. In practice, it's not that simple. Sometimes the set-ups aren't there. The reason why I basically make money every single day in NG is I'm very cautious and careful. I wait for the exact setups. Sometimes it's not there. I have to wait longer. That's why I need...

There's really nothing stopping me from banging out thousands a day in NG. I just need to build up the confidence to do that.

HAHA! But I made some nice coin in MGC and GC: GC: $122 MGC: $275 My main focus is still NG.

9/4/2019 ============= Realized gains: GC: $122 MGC: $275 Lean Hog Futures(Oct): -$693 NG: $314 MNQ: $19 NQ: $28 =============== Total Realized Gains: $65 I was stuck in HE Oct futures yesterday limit up. The drama details is here...

Just saw this! Thanks for the encouragement! I need to consistently bang out more on NG! I'm playing WAY TOO CONSERVATIVELY. I'm definitely very consistent on NG. Basically making money EVERY SINGLE day for months. I should scale up

I like to ask a clarifying question. He wrote: Don't a lot of the large index funds and ETFs(Vanguards, Blackrock, Fidelity of the world) BUYS the stocks to put in their index funds and ETFS? I guess his main point that they might have bought it but there's not enough liqudiity if everyone...

I just came back from a non-trading meeting. I have other stuff I have to attend to besides trading. lol. I missed a HUGE run on NG. That would have been my $4K right there. Oh well. There's always tomorrow. So I scalped with the little time that's left. I'm back in the green for the day! Last...

What I noticed that there are several elements at work on ET. There are good ETers who encourage, inform, and give motivations to other traders. Thank you to @Overnight , @bone @Bum @JSOP @Gotcha @ironchef @murray t turtle and many others. Then there are others who like and wish to see other...

That too. I thought it was too obvious lesson already expounded here. I will study/research a commodity before trading it. I can't assume all futures will be like financial and index futures. Thanks for pointing that out.

No need too. I got out. small losses. I could actually have MADE money if I just held a little longer because it actually went lower than my short price! lol. But I didn't want another panic buy situation. Flat is a position. Additionally, I would have saved money not buying the dec hedge...

Glad I got up today. Made a little in NG and MGC. Waiting for HE to open...

I did that as well. I placed at the bid and was promptely rejected too.
