ok, so what you are saying is you are not a daytrader then, which is fine. Cause otherwise it would be foolish to trade blind.

Good advice, I have found that I have very reliable setups and when the setup doesnt work out as planned, it means that there is something underlying thats unusual and almost always leads to a big move in the opposite direction of my setup. Know this, I can take small losses on my setups that...

Please, for the love of god, gets a live news feed.

Look at this as an opportunity to see what you are made of. Tough times call for your true character to appear. Will you run and hide like a weakling, or will you face the market with the proper discipline and courage despite your recent lack of success? Remember, the market has NO idea how...

Sure, I add $100 here, $50 there, $400 here. My grinding puts me in the top 5% of all earners in the US. Sure I'm not making millions a year but I also sleep great at night and live a lifestyle that suits me.

Probably because he knows 40k a month, while very good by most standards, is hardly a fortune in futures trading.

Actually, not at all. Had a few nice shorts and some nice long plays as well. See I do what is called "trading". You might want to jot that word down. See, there are two sides and when longs are setting up for me, I take longs. Same goes for the short side. Its really quite simple Day, see I...

Some of those brooklyn slices are as big as three normal slices so maybe the price is deceiving.

Thanks for sharing

Generally speaking, I've seen it take people btw 1 and 5 years of "hard knock" learning before getting it.

I think its clear to everyone that Day7793 is a complete and utter joke. You are 100% right, his posts dont fit whatsoever into the profile of a successful trader. As a matter of fact, he sounds like a bitter bagholder. If I had his limited skill set, I might feel somewhat as he does. But I...

Fair enough, I do not know your TA in this case. Dont assume you know ME and how I trade though. Trying to classify ME as a reactor is false, I have posted probably about 50 posts or so about how anticipation is key. I have been trading for 10 years everyday and the kind of price action that we...

The first almost 7 pts of the rally off the low were all news, THEN I can see technicals (and momentum from the news) took over. To me, techincally speaking, I had 34.75 as the printed price which alerted me to get long (news aside). Before that, and before the news, being long was a gamble imo

I'm with you SlyFlo.

Scalping is very different than news trading.

I dont really want to get into the details of this kind of stuff but you should always make sure there is a real buyer in the stock that you can identify. YOU dont want to the buyer yourself, because who are you going to sell to?

Fair enough Kitty, as long as you understand what goes on in this business. I got the impression from your other posts that you did not know just how shady people are in the trading game but you do seem to understand that based on the below post. The process of placing orders to "test" the...

Are you looking for better margin than $500 per lot or are you looking to join a group and learn strategies?

You are very naive Kitty, this game is all about the $$$$, not about morals. You think a MM gives two shits about you or your account? No! You think its coincidence that stops get run all the time only to have price go in the aniticipated direction while all those who were correct in their...

Welcome to the market! YOU will be tricked into buying and selling all the time by everyone else. Good luck to you, you are going to need it!
