I see that Journal is spelled right now. That takes away half my charm :) Brandon

I have more embaressing stuff to admit too also. I said I was not going to take another trade, that I was going to go insulate my attic, and I took another trade. I also said I thought we would be going up, but I took a small scalp short. Went short the ES at 893 (12:37) and covered at 891...

Thanks for carrying that embarrsassment for me. Its a load off my mind. :eek: B

Good luck with the mechanical system. I have one for my gaps that works very well. The hardest thing in the world though for me is to follow the thing. B

I think today might turn into a pretty nice day with an upside move. Oh well, Its Friday and im lazy though. Gonna go throw insulation and work up an itch. Reminds of what the rest of the world goes through anyway. When I'm done with that I will come back here and post some more, just on the...

Thats a good question. In most cases I do wait for some momentum high to break, for example today I would have almost always waited for 983 to break. Today though I thought I was smart and would make a fortune on that extra $30 I was going to make. On a little bit of a more serious note though...

I think we may be close to getting critical mass for the official Elite Trader Guru League. Everyday we post the standings, and at the end of the month, someone has won. Anyone interested? I would win almost every month, It would hardly be fair. B:D

I certainly would not do it for free, but at the same time I think that in order to do it well you truely have to enjoy helping people as well. The extra money makes it more enjoyable though, I would be a lying sack of shit if I said otherwise. Brandon

My least favorite kind of market. Looking at the 120 minute charts, the ADXs are very low, and we are just up at the top of a range. This is the kind of market I tend to suck in. Ive had three trades so far today, all losers. Its been an ok week, and I hate to end it on a pissy note, so I am...

Today is November 1st. I figured I'd start a trading journel and see how it goes. I will either lose money and look like an ass, or I will make some and people will accuse me of being a shameless guru homo who is only out for himself and to promote his website. Can't win either way, so what the...

Given that 2/3 of your posts on this board are pissing and moaning about something, but I have not yet seen something that would help most people I don't want to spend too much time with you. I spent a bit of time reading various posts on the site that have been made over the last several weeks...

If you read my entire post, you will see that I said it is something that is best traded near the open when there is liquidity, and that I would not trade more then 5/10 contracts for the time being. Beyond that you will have a hard time with your executions. All that being said, it is a good...

I suspect that it was, however the volume is now picking up nicely. It is definatly suitable for a trader who wants to trade 1 to 5 lots, and near the open 10's or so. It certainly is a much more viable contract now then it was just several months ago. The Board of Trade has done a good job of...

One of the measurements traders use to determine opportunity in a market is the average range. A stock or index with a higher average range will offer traders more opportunities to profit. Traders are also concerned with the liquidity of any given product for the simple reason that wealth is...

One a one minute chart, and any other as well, price is the most reliable indicator. I think that with a one minute chart being such a short term "noisey" timeframe, that most indicators are pretty much worthless there and are likely to just lead to confussion and losses. One minute charts are...

One of my biggest regrets in life is having dropped out of college when I started making money in the market. I just stopped showing up if there was much going on. World Affairs test today, screw that BAMM is on the move baby! Now that I have been out of school for 5 years and have a hundred...

I wanted to be a famous investor. My earliest idols were Peter Lynch and Warren Buffet. As I grew older I came to the realization that I was poor white trash and would not have the connection, money or Ivy League education to get hired by a mutual fund firm. When I was in HS I took a class on Ag...

Most people suffer from each of the five things you mentioned and dont have a chance because of it. Brandon

<i>Right now, I trade spread bets against the ftse and dow and sp futures. They operate in the same way, but the fees are in the spread. </i> It might be of limited value for what you are doing now, as I understand it tradestation does not have LIFFE data. If this has changed in the last few...
