I'm no expert, but I honestly don't think that data from 13 years ago should be used to evaluate a strategy today. Buy low and sell high will always work, but even in my few years of trading, I see things happening more and more that didn't years ago. There are many more head fake moves. (ie...

Funny you bring him up. When I started here under this name, he was the first one who I noticed had blocked me almost before I said anything. I could tell I was blocked because sometimes you get a notification for a new post, and at odd times, it shows the header with the member name, but no...

The "block" feature is kind of ridiculous. Since we all know that you can either just log out, or open the page in a private window to see all the posts, its doesn't really accomplish that much. If you as a poster are bothered by somebody, having the ignore feature to not see their posts is...

There is only one other trader here who uses this word.... Hmmm...:rolleyes:

On the surface, its not a bad strategy, but of course you do sometimes hit the max loss. The reason why I say its not bad is because the markets mostly tend to mean revert, or be in some sort of range, or at least give you decent pullback before continuing. So if talking ES, and you take a...

Completely agree, and just this one change might make all the difference.

And sadly, the next step is the rich learn to take advantage of everyone else through their manipulation of the government.

At least we agree its not fair. The tax contributions of some corporations is a huge with all the offshore hiding of profits, even if it is legal. And lastly, if capitalism was to function properly without the Fed, many would have gone under, and many business owners who think they are smart...

I'm all for reaping the rewards of your hard work, but the states and cities are in a mess. Maybe the government spends too much, I agree, and many corporations don't pay their fare share, so that is another issue. But it has to be acknowledged that a person can only be prosperous if they live...

As much as I agree that governments get out of hand, I also can't overlook the fact that living in a country like the US is precisely what makes it possible for the rich to attain what they do. People might scoff at giving away 50% of their earnings, but would anyone really trade-in this...

I was of the opinion that the unrelenting buying was a result of : 1. people wanting to hedge against inflation 2. people stuck at home with nothing to do but trade 3. government handing out free money so might as well make it work for you I'm no options guy, but the rationale you state above...

This is a very interesting point, so thanks for pointing this out. I can instantly see how this would be beneficial. On the flip side though, with options, having to get the timing right is critical. Suppose you figured in March that the market had bottomed and you wanted to start buying...

Are you still in this trade or did you get out?

What is interesting though is that Uber operates mostly via the "contractor" route. If all the drivers were employees, this would be one metric that would be a bit better! Spread out that loss over way more people. :D

I'm not sure if Sierra has the ability to adjust tick size, but I almost think I saw it somewhere, but if all you're looking to do is compress the ladder, its super easy. Here is a screenshot taken with their ChartDom, which is just the ladder added to the right side of the chart, but it works...

Why bother with ET if you're posting all the good stuff in the chat room? If I was your wife I'd be mad to hear that I'm not satisfying you enough and you need to go somewhere else! LOL

I'm kind of disappointed that you posted this so late. The area to buy at 72 happened at 10:17. The 77 exit was anywhere from about 10:30 to 10:37, but your post came in at 10:43. How is my pregnant wife going to feed the baby once its born if you don't give us something we can use? For the...

I at least appreciate that you admit you're not doing live calls. Nothing wrong with you posting however you want, but for some newbie who thinks you're able to walk on water, its important to realize that much of what you say can later be claimed to go either way, so its difficult to give you...

One of the secrets to success of trading is doing your own research. When you actually take the time to plot his calls along with what the market is doing and where its at, you can clearly see that he isn't giving any free trades away. Do you really want me to show you how 75% of his past 10...

I'm not sure how well your calls are going to feed me when you post the entry and exit both way after the fact. :D Yesterday you say you want it to get 44.50-47 to get long. Well it didn't get there, but you magically say after the fact that you scaled in and hence were already in, even...
