    Quote for the Day

    This was put in an earlier thread but I'll run it again here. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAlQc6keOgA "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" :cool:

    Trading and Dating

    No, you like big breasts. Apparently those that like big mammaries are longing for the childlike whereas power/success men prefer sleek females but with medium or small breasts. So that admittedly is some psycho-babble with which I do agree. I don't like huge plonks of tit flowing...

    Trading and Dating

    Well from all the 'disconnects' with women posted so far, this thread shows that everyone, men that is, know something about trading and little to nothing about women. :)

    Value of Backtesting and Stops

    I agree that backtesting has little value with basically OHLC data as the input. Paper trading and token real trading do have practice value if you have first worked out a sound methodology. Stops are more a function of unreliable, chancy or unsound approaches or systems to play the...

    pure comedy.. watch the whole thing

    Well from that comedy script you can certainly recognize all the misfits who also believe that they have been screwed every bit of the way in making their losses or failures in trading. LOL :)

    Al Gore - Democratic Party candidate in 2008.

    Al Gore .. wooden and unimaginative. Just what the Republicans need as the Dem's presidential candidate. Hillary Clinton is by far the most formidable opponent for the Republicans. :)

    It is IMPOSSIBLE to make money in the markets

    There is no informational barrier for anyone other than being insufficiently willing to give your chosen market dedicated research, study & testing. Amateur traders largely don't expect to do all that. I have been on "the other side" as it is called at ET and the final barrier has long gone...

    Best trendy futures

    Here comes that word 'trend' again. What you are talking about intraday is volatility. Of course if you want to call as 'trends', the gyrations, up and down, that occur that is up to you. A sustained direction is better utilized by playing only the bigger gyration/s of the trading day. For...

    It is IMPOSSIBLE to make money in the markets

    Some persist in the delusion that their winnings can only be losses of some other individuals who have to be losers (eg ET losers). Is it that their winnings don't taste good enough and so they need to come from ET losing members? Index futures are a derivative of actual exchange stock...

    Buy low or high

    Buy low sell high is perhaps the most inane mantra chanted at ET. Absolute price or nominal price is generally not relevant. It is only relative price that matters, namely that a price for example moves up 40points (eg YM). What nominal price it goes from and what nominal price it arrives at...

    Parabolic SAR

    Price is patterned and repetitively patterned. To see and repetitively not understand sufficiently what you see is the trading learners conundrum. Parabolic SAR points or other types of lines if put up on your chart are allowing you to see price through a prism .. differing perceptions or...

    Your most risky trade

    Would I admit to a mistake? About 18 months ago in a day trading routine I very neatly closed out a short position at the bottom of a particular downmove. Next morning the market gapped up strongly and continued up. I was now at a point in that days routine when I shorted around the...

    Difficult day ?

    Looking at Thursday (Aug 10) there were 15 trading points buying/selling end to end (YM). If you were micro-trading the whole day you would have made more interventions. Of those 15 there were 3 'reinforcement' signals .. that is where according to your particular methodology you get a strong...

    Gordon Gekko

    Michael Milken was an innovator who when general circumstances soured was used as a scapegoat. The low character in the melodrama of that time was Boesky who dumped on everything and everyone. Boesky also set off the big Guinness scandal in Ldn which ended up with scapegoats there going to...

    "Edge Challenge" - prove us wrong!!

    An 'edge' is something you fall off from and apparently that is what can happen. An 'edge', so-called, appears to be some sort of real or imaginary advantage that some claim they have or that some declare they are seeking. Now all you actually have is downmoves and upmoves, the gyrations...
