    Intuition

    Thoughts: First hour action all inside yesterday's range. Bounced off yesterday's close. I started getting the little voice yelling buy when I saw the bounce. I was looking for a test of yesterday's low and missed what looks like a pretty good long. Looks pretty bullish so far. I usually...

    Intuition

    I'm guessing the market has about 10 pt daily ranges and this is about one day's full range. I wanted to set risk to about 5% of capital so the math (.05*50k = 2,500) (2,500 / 500 = 5 cars)

    Intuition

    After reading about everyone raking in the $ yesterday, I thought I'd give trading the Emini ES a shot. I'm up for the year so if I lose it just means I don't have to pay as much in taxes. Not much preparation needed. I look at price and when I feel the market yelling buy I buy. For this...

After a few days it became clear I was the only successful trader. The others hung around my screens and pumped me for trading ideas. I kicked them out...

    What good are we traders for?

    Trading by itself is one of the last pure capitalism plays. Put down your money. If you're better than others...you win. If not...you lose. If your ego is bigger than your ability, you'll become one of the losers. I don't apologize for making lots of money from trading. I don't care if others...
