Well, this interview is not about me, it is about you. So kindly tell us, please, Cassie, what kind of services you provide to CME traders as an independent contractor?

Cassie, it's good to talk to you, too, but the interview rules are that we preserve each others' confidentiality, and don't reveal any business-proprietary information. And just so our audience understands, when you gave me all those "jobs" it was in your professional capacity as a Chicago...

We find ourselves at loose ends here as we have one interview on hiatus and are awaiting the start of the new one on Friday evening. So I thought to provide a quickie impromptu pickup interview with my friend Cassandra, a very street-wise Chicagoan with intimate connections to hot-shot CME...

Thank you, Booyah, but Anek made it happen. Stay tuned for Friday's post-market new interview. Will it be DBPhoenix back from the daid? Will it be Jack Hershey, physically alive but brain dead? Nononsense (whose absence is greatly lamented, and the only ETer who ever spontaneously recognized...

You are, as always, gracious. I have only two questions left, both Proustian, so please check in when your Honey-Do's are done.

Breaking news! An ET poster who generates lots of discussion has agreed to an interview starting after the close Friday. I have high hopes that it will be interesting and informative, possibly controversial. I am receiving interview suggestions by PM. Please in future send them to my privates...

Thank you for the kind words, GaryN. A megalomaniac needs only a little positive feedback to fantasize that the whole world loves him. Not sure which "Bullz and Bear" you refer to (get your shit straight!). If it is Bullz n Bears you mean, no thanks. I don't need two assholes in my threads...

"think of the market as a complex video game" I like that! Perhaps we can explore it further later. Thanks for your participation in the thread! Obviously many people on ET were interested in learning more about you. Have a great week. And thanks to readers for so many good questions...

This thread is moving so fast I want to make sure you saw this stupid question. Or was your silence my answer? It is so lonely being the only stupid guy on ET!

Anek, I simply must make a comment about the chart you kindly posted. In the context of the shock and surprise element of a move, I am an S/R guy to the bone, and that move is only a shock if your chart doesn't already have on it the floor that price trampolined off of.

Anekdoten, thanks for helping me form a mental picture of you trading. I have but a few questions left, if you can bear with me. Do you have a personal zeitgeist about the markets intraday? If I say the words: deterministic, chaotic, random, manipulated, do you relate to one? For example...

I like that answer. Home brew always tastes the best. Well, I sense that I am pressing too much, so let me ease off with some workmanlike questions. Do you work from home? An office? Do you use an internet-based retail data feed, or something slicker? Do you use multiple video...

May your view of mentors apply to all mentors but yourself, haha! Now to a Proustian Trading Questionnaire querry. Would you characterize your trading chart as "simple" or "complex", and if relevant, does the chart style reflect your own personality? If the chart is simple with nothing...

Thanks, Anek. It is clear that you are a highly flexible trader and will trade a wide variety of conditions, so let's get off that. Can you tell us if you are self-taught as a trader, or were you mentored? And if mentored, is your current style strongly influenced by your mentor's style?

I'll repeat my question, in case it got lost in the flow of excellent comments: Can you say if you favor market orders or limit orders, and why?

A note to readers: questions from the floor are much welcomed, as long as they are respectful and intelligent.

Plodder, I avoided asking that out of respect for his privacy. Evidently Anekdoten does not want to get too specific, which I can certainly sympathize with myself. There are two possibilities. Anekdoten is German for anecdotes. And also the name of a Euro rock group. Gargling might reveal other...

Very subtle, Anekdoten, you won't be pinned down! Interesting that you will not let your style be categorized. Can you at least say if you favor market orders or limit orders, and why?

Thanks for that advice. Every small trader probably wonders what scaling up will feel like. Well, let me get back on course and ask you about your trading style, of course avoiding anything proprietary. Curious readers could go to your very first post on ET...

Ah, philosophical! Then you have no trading demons to be banished daily with incantations, my congratulations. With your forbearance I will change up the order of questions as your comments suggest a different approach. You mentioned entering a position with 3-5 cars, and scaling in to full...
