first, edit to yesterday: posted loss as -82m. reality- in my stupor, i failed to close longs in the DAX, ES and GS. walked away for a couple hours without thinking. ES collapse AH, GS open and DAX open. net net: loss yesterday= -96m (98.5 if i had counted GS). the only thing that is a bigger...

sheep aside... this HAS to be a short term ballistic bounce candidate to dwarf whatever bounce we get in equities. from near par to 63 on a rope (a short one) . got burned once by this monday, but this is amazing. short term play, not long term... contrarians welcome...

i agree except i think a version of #3 needs to be done in concert. as for the exact timing... preferably a couple minutes after i buy 30 or 40 ES- after today, i'd need the gain just to get back near even.

care to scan it and post it? seriously, this information isn't so easy to find. i spent 15 minutes goog-ing and chasing links to no avail for the sgxnk (N225 in Singapore). seriously, it would be appreciated!

blew up my account. in deference to those who actually know what they're doing, i will no longer refer to myself as a trader. edit: to stop the PM's- it's the bottom # that is total in USD. interesting study in human nature how much more interesting failure is than success... -82m

curious as to how you hedge your dax futures positions. would you mind giving an example? fyi: i trade the dax every day and often would like an overnight hold, but i haven't come up with a way to hedge that doesn't negate my upside. i am a US based trader. thanks.

congrats. the goal that you've achieved is my goal as well. as i've posted, the scale up from $25-40m/month to the 7 figure level is something that i've been failing miserably at all year long (to the point of wiping out most of my profitability for the year). anyway, i started posting to...

pretty happy, as this is a new record for me (too bad it's still only about 1/2 what my record loss is). traded well last night and then again for the first 90 minutes today. then my body simply ran out of steam and i needed some sleep. was to be a 90 minute refresher- just woke up now, so i...

yeah, fed seems out of bullets. well, short of declaring a national blow job day: prove you only went long stocks at the end of the day and get a blow job. give those girls at scores something to do during this slow time...

this is why i say cnbc asia/euro and bloomberg tv are mostly worthless. they don't depart from script EVER- haven't even mentioned it. Japan is halted (don't know if it's just ib- assuming a circuit breaker oe something. geesh, i'm gonna have to spring for a bloomberg terminal... edit...

would be interesting to plot the correlation between successful traders and 'traders' who post predictions (irrespective of whether they come to fruition or not) on annon web boards. my guess is it's a pretty good fade... btw... been watching much cnbc europe lately? cause there was a long...

not that you need me to say it, but... congrats on the discipline. whether your sell turns out to be the 'right' move or not- it's the right move. so many would have leveraged up, held to break even or some other undisciplined action/inaction. on big 'all in' type calls, it's very hard to...

trade testicle-free again last night/today; as i don't think i can handle another $30m+ drawdown. aside from that, i traded pretty well both sessions. stupid IB's P&L is screwed up every time i trade currencies, as it thinks i have unrealized gains/losses from previous conversions of foreign...

since calling ib support is nothing more than an exercise in frustration... could one of the ib folks here please explain what the problem is and what is being done to fix it. i realize that the most likely response is to say that there is no problem.... that it must be on my end, blame...

agreed. what a fucking tool. taps at an ACTUAL funeral... funny? what are you, 12fuckingyearsold? piss off.

ok forex, now what? because i had no $ left after rimm, i went ahead and sold my car to buy these QQQQ calls since you were so sure; using the big bold font and all. what should i do now? i really need to make this money back and i know you're the guy to listen to. please advise...

amazing how i have the balls of an elephant when i'm taking loss after loss, but then, when i make a great entry on a well thought out trade, the balls turn to ovaries and i'm reaching for the vagisil- boom... the littlest thing panics me out. pathetic.somehow i'm confused by that whole, 'cut...

what a great -30m start to the month last night: traded with dick for confidence- only reason i made $ is because only the stupid AND blind (i'm not blind) could have avoided it. today: raped for 10m in the AAPL Jobs heart attack short rumour. came back, traded reasonably well. at 3.30...

this is why i moved to futures (picked the wrong day to trade aapl- and stop sniffing glue...). some prick with a short position floats a rumour and i drop $10m in a heartbeat. rarely does anyone get in trouble for this shit. yeah, i'm pissed.

considered the same trade last night- all the way up to the end of extended trading. chickened out. good for you. up 3.69 right now...
