Yeah I am a farm boy. Live on a grain and cattle farm in Iowa. I think we could continue to trade lower this week also. Good Trading Man

Stay away from the grains if your just starting out. Especially wheat, it will pick your pocket fast if your wrong. But if your dead set on the grains I would stick to something like corn or just stick with the mini grains. Also emini dow and nasdaq, currency futures, short term...

Yeah he opened up an account with oanda with a 2k account. Was trading eur/usd and yen/usd (something like that) Sucked that 2k right away from him so fast he didn't even know what happened. So he didn't have the best of luck but he didn't really have the attitude or risk appetite to trade...

Out of my short corn @ 538.25 $1750 profit

Well then lets leave the risk management to me then huh?

Daddy-O has never covered me once and knowing him probably never would. If I blew up I know exactly what he would say "get a fucking job and make it back!" My dad has always taken big risks and being around him for the last 17 years I guess it just kind of gets in your blood. 1 contract...

I don't know how much leverage it is. My account is around 25K so I figure I can handle 10 contracts. What the hell right lol?

Bob You know I'm always looking to make a fast buck anyway I can and anybody who isn't has something wrong with their head!!! You are a very talented individual and I hope you keep this thread going. Good Trading

Investing beats trading hands down imo. Problem is guys like me would rather go broke quickly than get rich slowly lol! (quote from peter lynch)

Thanks man but traders imo don't deserve sympathy. I made a mistake and I got hit for it. God I feel like I have aged a ton over these past few weeks. This biz is hard on a guy. I remember when losing a couple hundred dollars was the end of the world when I was first starting out (3k...

I have to talk about the es even though I don't want to lol! I'm out of the fucking thing at 1370. $5500 loss on the damn thing! I will look and wait for another opportunity to get short because I still think we test around 1320 before all is said and done.

Just shorted 5 contracts of may corn @ 545.25 es.......dont even bring it up lol!

OMG you have got to be the poorest excuse for a human being it has ever been my misfortune to know. WTF is wrong with you man? Do you have issues you need to work out with yourself? Reaver is a great guy and like previously stated he served our country so we can live in a free country each...

Short @ 69 Stop @ 70.5

What did you think I was talking about the futures contract? I am planning on trading bred female hogs. I hear there is a great market for em. LOL Thanks for the advice. I just think it looks appealing because of the 20 deep book and the nice tick size along with the nice range. Hope...

Check out a 300 tick chart on es. Major channel on that chart! A break below 1370 sets us up for 1358, a break below that level and we hit 1350 and then 1345. I honestly think it could happen as 1375 is proving to be nice resistance and has proven to be good resistance on more than one...

Thanks guys for the advice. Ammo I am currently short 10 contracts at an average of 1359. Feel free to keep posting any info or advice on this thread as it is quite helpful. Hopefully a pullback in es is in order here :D

It sucks but what are ya gonna do? I personally don't day trade the ZB but I would be pissed if I did day trade it. This whole CME Group thing is really turning out bad with the 5 deep book, the tick reductions and the block trades. Talk about squeezing out the small guy. All the exchanges...

Blubaru Just read your journal. Looks great so far and I wish you the very best. From reading your journal it seems you have a lot of the same problems I had when first testing the waters with intra day trading. Overtrading Always wanting to play the game Overtrading will kill...

No prob Wish I could be of a little more help but I will try to squeeze some info out of my old man tonight about that spread. Just noticed your journal. Havn't had a chance to read it yet but will deffinantly look through it. There is something to be said about someone who just comes to...
