T28L, that literally means we're going out in 10F temps, all bundled up to drill 4" holes thru 8" of ice. The reward for sitting in our little huts (heated) will be a pail full of fish that $10 at the local store could easily purchase. We call that entertainment :>) ** Also, we don't...

... silly me, I thought this thread was dead (laugh) Morning Activity: Short ER 798.70 = covered 797.70 (twice) Long ER 798.30 = covered 800.30 (once) ES short 1431 / low 1429 = covered 1431 ES long 1432 = covered 1434 * Where's the trend? Buying dips worked... for small scalps...

<i>"I'll tell you what worked for me."</i> <b>Hypo</b>, with all due respect, that would be a good cure for a marriage that was purely physical, nothing else. If your ex-wife was merely a sex toy to you and that's it, she was easily replaced as you prescribed. Of course, sometimes the next...

I went thru an unwanted (on my part) divorce in mid to late 2002. Followed my best month ever in profits (before bomb drop) with my worst months ever. One day in particular I was trading 10-lots in the ES and it was a sideways session. I sat there in front of the screens, emotionally bitter...

<i>"If it's true and it sure *looks* like a TWS screenshot, Mak has a 7 figure account. Congrats."</i> That is an admirable sum, no question about it. But, I'm confused. How could a self-professed dip buyer, trading with absolutely no fear result in anything other than robust profits today...

Seems like the average intraday range since late June has been 0.2% up or down. This is mind-numbing. Can we replay 2000 ~ 2003 one more time, please?

Current Session Tally: ER short 797.20 = out 796.20 Short again = par Long = Par Long 798.50 = out 800.50 What trend? Trading these days is a lotta work, either direction... and we see both directions darn near every day. Godspeed the next real, lasting directional push... up or down...

<i>"Or is it just as good as points made overnight long "</i> Depends on <b>where</b> one was long from held overnight. Where did you say that specific entry was, again?

<i>"Thank God I don't know how to short... Money's too easy on the long side!!!! $$$</i>" I hope the markets go up all day... or down all day, either scenario is most welcome on this side of the screens. BTW... where are you long from? Did you buy premarket, or hold overnight?

Sounds like an invite to the "no risk" pros. Like we said before, it'd be thrilling to see all those upside profits from buying free money dips and holding over the weekend.

<i>"b) Why trade when longs end up in the green all the time????"</i> Where they end up when one sells is the question. "In the green" is a very fleeting term these day :D

shorted 797.10 = out 796.10 after hitting 795.10 shorted 795.10 = out 794.10, now printing 792.90 flat, but prepared to trade either way or not at all until tomorrow. BTW... there hasn't been a trend in ER or ES for past 2+ months. Both are perfectly sideways in a 30pt roll. The...

yeah, but it's like living with a nympho. Eventually, you grow weary of that, too :cool:

The proof of fearlessness is action... we can all get rich in hindsight. The masses here surely would revel in seeing how the big pros bought on margin Friday and held over the weekend. (disclaimer) Long ER 792.20 = out 794.20 for +2pts, missed ideal long entry near 790 on quick pullback...

<i>"Feels good to be long on margin over the weekend. I can sleep knowing that the boyz will jack up the prices on Monday morning. AWESOME!!!"</i> I'd be willing to bet there are 100s of aspiring traders here in this thread who would absolutely love to see a master trader's real-time blotter...

<i>"i am a veterinary/sales manager for my company.we have have the following pets for sale/adoption. maltese, bradon, englishbull dog and monkies. hope to recieve contacts from prospective buyers"</i> Are the "monkies" (monkeys?) trained to trade?

<i>"I wonder how some of the successful traders move from that proverbial 1 contract to trading 10 to 50 or even 100? By the same token, those of you who are successful in trading futures, why aren't you increasing your size to 10, 50 or 100 contracts?"</i> <b>Saxon</b>, that should...

As I was saying...
