Bravo! What an answer! That puts you clearly in perspective. Now I am about to go to bed, perhaps even to sleep, and I recite before I recline my trading mantra that I might remember it in the morning and throughout the trading day. And so that I might dream of the day to come. For I am not a...

Congratulations on your success! You are in good hands here as a psych major and code jockey, both of which I practice without a license! And what a delightfully felicitous background for trading you have! I get your message about privacy, and will ask no more personal questions...

Waste-not-quant-not, DD-YM is a highly passionate individual given to verbal excess, probably fueled by mild substance abuse. If you read the posts which preceded it you MIGHT detect that being 26 and hawking vitamins and driving his girlfriend's car was a JOKE. In any event, I stand by my...

Greetings to all, and welcome to this, our third interview with interesting ET traders. With the emphasis on TRADERS. I asked Anekdoten to speak with us because Razor values his advice highly, and because Anekdoten has a new mentoring thread in Journals with brisk readership...

Well said! Dialogueing with you has been far more fun and informative that I could ever have hoped for. You seem to be a thoughtful and insightful and well-grounded young man, and you can imagine how that makes ME feel! You clearly have a very bright future ahead as a trader, and I wish you...

A good list! I think I'll ask one last question, Proustian, and open the floor to audience questions. As best I understand your method, and I have assiduously tried to avoid probing too deeply, it seems highly intuitive, or discretionary. Would you agree, and if so, do you see yourself...

Thanks! At the risk of stirring up a shitstorm, would you be willing to list posters from whom you have benefitted? I ask because over the years my list is less than ten. But their impacts have been quite dramatic.

Was that empty post your way of making a discrete reply, hahahaha?

Gotcha. Well, I am running down, and you have been most gracious in your replies. I have just a few questions left, of the Proustian variety. Could you summarize the benefits you get from ET membership? For example, have any posters influenced your own thinking, or changed your perspective on...

You are so wise! I wish I had half your good sense. Then maybe a CME membership or seat or whatever they call it? To get the expenses down when you trade large? Sitting in front of a shiny new Bloomberg with all kinds of analytical functionality you don't need?

Very good, kind of what I expected based on your minimalist, and to me nearly unique, approach. I know only one other REAL trader (why must we always say that?) on ET who trades roughly like you do, and he is living large. So what are your plans long term? Go prop? Trade OPM? Stay independent?

Thanks. Now kindly bear with an old man, I am refining what I refer to as an ideal Proustian Questionnaire for trading, and it is a WIP. So de temps en temps I will ask one, to wit: Are you self-taught, or did you have a mentor who substantially influenced your method?

OK, you had me worried there. If it is not proprietary, why 400 cars for the EquiVolume? One-hundredth of the typical daily volume? Do you ever adjust it?

So sorry, I am old, and English is not my native language. I mean that your price scale is 1976, 1977, 1978 und so weiter.

Buddy, I owe you a big one! I was surprised that EasySignal would chart your stuff, and was a bit embarrased to discover that I was running with version 8! So now you know my intellectual horsepower. You biography paints a very clear picture of you. Thanks. A great background! And I hope...

Is it stable, thinking of updating from 8, hahaha! TIA!

If I may, I would like to learn some more about your background. For example, your interests in school, your previous occupational pursuits, what you do for amusement, that sort of thing. Of course nothing so specific that it would identify you. I ask because you seem to be extraordiarily...

OMG! Thank you VERY much for that! I am going to give all my in-house analysts, algo-rhymers and coders elephant enemas. Look at what they have me trading to!

OK, thanks, I think I understand you. At your leisure, could you possibly post a screen shot of your trading screen, of course with nothing proprietary as to levels etc. annotated on it. As a mental health professional, I am very much into Rorschach tests. While I breathily await that, could...

Thank you for your gracious retraction. We must not spook Rcanfiel. He is going to be interviewed here at the same time I do the ProfLogic interview. And you would not believe how hard it is to get reputable traders here to submit to an interview, if you know what I mean.
