First of all I am not lazy. I have gone thru more shit to get where I am at than you would believe. Second if your arguement was really true then why is it that probably the top money makers on this board -- Seanote, Silk, and RS7 had not problem discussing how they trade? There are a few...

Please close this thread, it is not going where the thread was intended to go and it looks like it never will.

Oh Boy. I have had enough. This thread can be compared to how a simple trading strategy can be turned into a complicated mess. Thanks for posts Profitseer. I can't remember, but I think in some other threads you have talked about your e-mini strategy, but I might be wrong on that. If you...

That is where we differ in opinion. I think trading is a combination of strategy and mental aspects. You could take a person with the best mental alignment for trading and give him a bunk strategy and he won't make a dime. The purpose of the thread was not to address the mental aspects. That...

Explain this one to me. Are you saying the door is open for me to talk with you or something else?

Kymar thanks for posting a reply. Also once again thanks Silk for some good posts. I trade because I like the money potential, enjoy the competitive nature of it, like that it changes day to day (except for the snore fest days we have been having lately), and I enjoy the hours. At this...

Nitro please let me know if you know anyone on this board that fits your description above. You can even PM me. This thread is sputtering at best. I thought after Silk posted that this thread might be a successful one, but I am spending all my time defending my questions and trying to get...

Thanks for adding to the thread. I was asked to put up and I did. Obviously I have been putting in the work. I have not just decided I want to trade yesterday and came here and posted wanting someone to hold my hand as I trade. I have noticed you have not added anything about your style. If...

I really have no problem telling people what I do and what I used to do. Well what I used to do was scalp high volume Nasdaq momentum stocks like brcm, brcd, ect. Never really concentrated too much on the AX. I based a lot of the decisions on the immediate relative strength of the stock...

I like your point of view on the subject.

Does not seem like too broad of an answer. I am sure there are certain strategies you use and look for during the trading day. If you were going to write a book then they are probably would not be effected by sharing one of them here. About me starting this thread, there are a few reasons...

When I read your first post it seemed like you were questioning why I would write a thread seeking this type of advice because no one is going to share unless they get something out of it. Which may well be very true. I am trying to find the ones that will. I have had a couple real posts, but...

Well from the traders I know and see a lot of what they are doing is not shown in a book. For instance there are not a lot of good books on trading NYSE stocks. Besides its seems like all strategies go thru cycles of working and not working. A lot of the books give the general basics of buy...

Well the comments about the books could be true, but there is a lot of junk out there too. Look at all the Level2 look for the AX trading books that are out there. I actually know a trader that wrote a book but he could not make money trading. I wonder how many books are written like that...

Kymar do you have info you can share on your trading style?

If you are not here to share and learn then why do you come here? Are you making posts in the Chit Chat section all day? I doubt it. We have tons of threads that are written to pass knowledge back and forth which would be a helping the competition. I know this. This is another reason...

I am trying to find traders with experience like you speak of and hope to get some input from some like that. Some of the traders I know were the kings of the world scalping Nas stocks. Many then blew up their accounts and some stop making money. I have seen how hard it has been for traders...

Nice post Silk. This is the type of post I am looking for. So what do you use as a stop loss to get you out of a trade when wrong? What kind of money management are you using? Is it a set price limit, ect? Since many stocks and sectors on the NYSE do not necessarily trade with the futures...

I know what you are saying. That is what I am trying to ask from the other traders. Lately it seems that ET has had a lot of threads on the mental side, controling emotions, and there are a a lot of very generalized posts on letting your winners run and cutting losers short. However I can get...

I am not wanting to repeat the "Holy grail" thread and to be really general. Are you saying you just randomly get in trades like that and use money management? When is a trade considered to be a losing trade -- at 2 cents, 5 cents, 20 cents? You never really know how long profits are going to...
