broke even at 1198, that is depressing :(

looks like we did head down to support at 1184/1182 but then got jacked up by the bulls to 1194 where we are sitting now, this is an important point, we'll either revert to the mean or continue the downtrend, the latter is preferable, but i am willing to breakeven on this trade, if it wasnt...

all i can say is thinkorswim is a great platform, with free papertrading data and charts, for unlimited time, so long as you know that you have to trade the charts (i.e. the tickers, and the tape, and hte spread, and your net liquidity will all be calculated based on 15m delayed data, the only...

honestly america has made me depressed too, it's so fucking backwards middle east hates us? invade. debt ceiling reached? raise taxes, invade libya with ground troops. education sucks? subsidize it. pay almost as much as some socialist countries in taxes? get almost no benefits...

Really, I've noticed that it's far more often the deluded, thinking that they are in the promised land, giving terrible advice, being completely rude and retarded. But you're right there's people who just want to find THAT miraclebread oscillator that will make everything easy and brainless...

most people don't actually trade here, they just talk&talk&talk

sure to doomsdayists every monday open on bad news is going to be the straw that breaks the proverbial camels back

this is just not true, if by "make money" you mean invest in bubbles and profit from huge bubbles, yes it was easier, trading is still very much alive a suckers bet? hardly man, hardly at all.... it's definitely not easy anymore

still sitting short at 1191.5, slow and steady, these are the easy ones to sit out 1hour momentum just crossed below zero, kaufman efficiency ratio is about to go sub -20, and stochastics look like they're about to unwind and generate sub 50 sell signal i -THINK- we're either going to...

so how do you know if a strategy can scale or not

short /es @ 1198.5

excuse me but the real issue here is: the government is using buffett to sell us higher taxes instead of doing what needs to be done (cut entitlements, get out of wars) redistribution of wealth is nothing more than robbery propagated by the middle and lower income brackets...

he's a shill, without getting too conspiratorial, lets take note of the ground we are dealing with here and get our footing... this guy makes billions, he made 350m in one day on a bank of america bet and then lost it the next... he probably has all of his assets tucked away in rockefeller...

the holy grail is whatever gives you precisely what you want considering that (despite much evidence to the contrary) there are people here who believe that the markets are 100% random even being able to snag 1 tick should be the "holy grail" but let's be real here, the holy grail...

hft makes no sense whatsoever... the most bearish news in the world hits and the markets shoot up the most bullish news in the world hits and the markets shoot down the last 5 years things have gotten very, very backwards

blame hft. (/not being sacrcastic)

this is a very important point....girlfriends, wives, whatever do not recognize trading as a real job often, which can cause all sorts of monetary, psychological, and stressful problems, none of which are good for trading. i like to compare trading to writing. part of the creative process is...

capital is also the responsibility of the trader. this is a rich man's game. do not expect to play and win if you are poor or undercapitalized. it's like poker, you never go to the table short-stacked thinking you have an advantage. if you cannot save or obtain even 50k, you have no...

the markets have become as backwards as the politics that moves them somethings gotta give in the next couple years
