It looks like a gimmick to attract attention to the opening of the restaurant. 25,000 square feet is massive. The overhead must be outrageous. What a huge risk to be opening such a place at this time. Would not be too smart to buy a lifetime membership even if paying with crypto. It’s just a...

Your translations are great contributions. Much appreciated.

That's not necessarily greedy. The greedy types are fearful.

That's just too much fun for one micro. ;)

Jesus Fucking Christ. What a farce.

Pretty much every Thanksgiving the market gives out free money. This year did not disappoint.

We are a bit spoiled these days. A 10-point daily range on the ES was the norm for years. CME initial margin was under $2000. No thought of introducing micros back then. The cost of trading micros is a rip-off in my opinion. It will be interesting to see what happens when volatility cycles back...

Not everyone uses the set-it-and-forget-it method. I know it’s popular with folks but so is getting marginal results. In any case, when I feel bored or complacent, I know it’s time for a break.

If all it takes for a remedy is to put a light at the door or let the dog out, they are not serious distractions. Unexpected events that are out of your control and throw you off balance emotionally are more serious. My reflexive thought used to be to take time off from trading during such...

This week is about as good as it gets for intraday trading RTH. From a weekly perspective, there was not much to be made.

Was giving you a heads up. You did well to wash +1 at 55. The long at 51, you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar on that one.

Is 1 point even a loss in this market? It’s a rounding error for me.

The day is a “W” inside day. Think failure.

Reviewing your trades, it looks to me you were the one being traded today and not the other way around. Back at it Monday, fish.

I am a reader. Is your post addressed to me? LOL From the time stamps on your posts, I can surmise you entered long on bar 9 and exited on either bar 27, 28 or 29. Basically a scratch trade, what I call a wash trade and not a good one. Here is my debrief. The entry was a poorly timed long into...

You are showing a monthly chart of a continuous contract that doesn’t trade on any market as proof of something I don’t know what. I trade the ES current quarter contract short-term and intraday. I find that is best done with a neutral bias and most days I trade both long and short. Maybe I...

ES is a long only market? LOLOLOL Stop it, you’re killing me.

People I’ve known for many years who never showed interest in the stock market ask me repeatedly about it. I keep saying the same thing: it’s a bubble. I can sense that a few of them are a bit upset with me because they interpret what I say as advising them to stay out. One person told me she...

You boys are goofing on a guy running “a loser’s journal.” That’s like picking on the retarded kid in class. This site needs a feature to give negative cool points.

I’m not questioning your veracity. Your memory is fuzzy, which is not important. There were huge volume days, especially after markets reopened after 9/11. But my pace calibrations on 5m bars have much larger values now than around the turn of the century. I don’t doubt the bikinis at...
