Traders are as normal as markets they trade.

Yeah, and what about you? 2.30 posts per day in no way compares to my little 0.78/day! I'm worried about candletrader b/c he averages 4.19 posts every trading and weekend day! :D Talking about being insane, we would have to mention Brother FastPussyCat with his total 5k wise posts, along with...

I agree, it's a good idea.

My conclusions are exactly the same. No pain, no gain.

No problems.

You know, - huh - that is 100% pure truth, without any shadow of a doubt. I'm sure all ET members, our true trading brothers will agree. If you could *just* help us a little bit here... how to make above 3 pts on ES? That will be $150 or just 3% from $5k account, 60% monthly, without...

It's only an internet message board. I generally do not believe performance claimed on discussion forums. In your case: "my long-term average (including my beginning phase), it's also about in the range of 2pts", "Yes, I can have no losing days If I'm scalping very short-term", -...

I don't have a problem with people making money. As you can see I stay calm. Sounds like Scientist is pissed off a little. But that's his problem. Good luck and good trading to you Brother Ditch and to you Brother Scientist. Candle, bring here some love and peace! :) PS. I don't have a...

<b>Conclusion: the richer you're, the higher chances of staying longer as a trader.Certainly, it's not a rocket science!</b> <i>Very recent "numbskull" wisdom of yours.You obviously don't trade.</i></b> -- You're wrong. I trade. <b>"In general, I think games like poker or scrabble are...

Not only here :D Maybe a little over-enthusiastic? Now it's 80% not 90. TA accuracy just dropped 10%? As you wrote many times on this board, trading is not about predicting... Dude, my point wasn't about books. Again, you "believe that watching markets could make somebody a successful...

No, I don't have problems with scalping, b/c I simply don't scalp. I should go to sleep at this hour, but I wanted to read your posts. You're really entertaining! Here's some of your stuff: Good luck, bro... :D

Hmmmm maybe just if in theory in theory communism works

Volume and profit are 2 different things... Sure, if you could *just* catch all of these twistin tops and turnin bottoms :D Well, I miss this kind of days - http://www.twistedradio.com/player/ttplayer.asp?ID=334&Speed=2 Boss rulez :cool:

Yeah, 7 points intraday range on SPX so far, 24 points on eurostoxx futures - the lowest in many years, I guess! How are ya day traders doin'?

Trading is easier if you have other income source. You have it, you'll probably stay alive longer :) You don't have it, you can try to earn money from the markets. If you have small amounts of money, you'll have to trade more aggresively to earn for a living. High risk simply means risk of...

I also don't see any advantages to it on the futures. In 1999/2000 when many Naz stocks had daily ranges of $10-20 it made sense. But still, classic technical indicators had more or less the same value.

Sorry Scientist but your post is a mess. + Confusing. One time you say it's impossible to code a system based on order flow, market depth. Then you say you have thought-out trading system. You have though-out system with rules written down and that's why you use your CPU - brain. :confused...

In general, managers who trade other people money take less risk than individual traders who manage their own private capital. That's why some individual traders can have higher returns. The question is: whether they can consistently beat big players in terms of risk-adjusted return. We have 10+...

Yes, that is an possible explanation. I wouldn't be suprised if FasterPussyCat, mrmarket or other internet sick freak will claim super high returns. But guys like MrNBBO, Scientist seem to be rational people.

I guess it's 9th losing day in your 7 years trading career, am I right? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=261456#post261456 There're two possible explanations: 1) There's sharp disparity between the best CTA's & hedge funds vs the best individual traders...
