Sorry Mike: When you make a blanket statement like "There is no correlation.... one gets the feeling that you have done a thorough study using a statistically significant sample size. I am guessing that you haven't done that, as you are a trader not a psychologist. Also I know of no such...

Since you have decided to make this your confessional (you must be catholic), I feel free to offer an opinion. First, I will bet that you have problems controlling your emotions, particularly when you get filled (just intuition, I could be wrong). I will guess that you also have problems...

Possible? Yes, Probable? Not so much. :p

I was hoping for a little more color regarding your girlfriend (you remember, she looks just like Ashley Simpson). This reminds me of a joke; An old guy is sitting on a park bench, tears streaming down his face. A cop pulls up and says, "Excuse me sir, why are you crying?" The old man...

Excuse me: Generally, a working, profitable trader will not have the time, nor the inclination to help you. I think you would do better to simply use the "search" function at the top of the home page. Also there are a couple of good systems that have been disclosed on the site. Here are a...

Yes, and he is serious about it.....:D Now lets be gentle folks. I don't want the old coot to die of a coronary when he gets up tomorrow to read this post. I hope his nurse will be close at hand with the nitroglycerine pills. Go easy on the poor guy. Please Wally, don't hurt me, I am...

Its really too bad I missed the post. I know that Wally has been trying to forecast reversals for, well......as long as I can remember, and with very disappointing results...So to hear that he got it right this one time just makes me sad that I missed it. Why didn't someone call the local...

I have said this a couple of times, but I think it bears repeating Fear tells you that you are not suffciently prepared. It is a warning not to trade. IF/WHEN you are properly prepared, you will not be afraid because; 1. You will have confidence in your setup 2. You will have...

Those of you who believe that selling premium offers some advantage need to take a second look. Your understanding is incomplete. It would be impossible for the market to exist given that condition. Give it some more thought. Steve

Hello: If you have data that indicates a maximum adverse excursion, you should ask yourself if you can afford to place your stop at that point. This relates to your minimum profit requirement per trade. If for instance you are looking for a minimum of 3 points, you may or may not want to...

Rather than worry about you killing yourself. Let me say at this point. ITS A JOKE I hope the point is made. Nothing and I mean nothing, is of earthshaking importance other than the love of your family and your health. Get up off the floor and come back on monday. Steve

Hello: I favor a darwinian approach to trading. If the money you lost was a big chunk of your account (who knows), then you should consider suicide. I would suggest the following; 1. Jumping off a tall structure, either a bridge or building. 2. Poison (there are many alternatives/try...

Things never change. Late in the evening/early in the morning, the forex scammers crawl out of the woodwork like cockroaches :D Has anyone noticed that these people always have the same opinion ("these guys are great,.....I love them......blah, blah, blah). Then you take a closer look and...

I will just speak for myself I remember trading without a test strategy. I remember selling 200 strangles, bracketing the market, but not having a well thought out stop loss point. I remember kneeling on the floor, watching the ticks, on expiration day, hoping that I would not get hit...

Not much. Before his death, the Sheikh hand picked his successor (Emir Saad Al-Abdulla). The gentleman is 75 years old, and has been around long enough to know the drill. Politically, nothing will change. Economically, nothing will change. Should be no impact on international markets...

Sleep is over rated.

Thanks Joe: Here is the link from the original thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60376&perpage=6&highlight=cheap%20bastards&pagenumber=2 Just in case.:D Steve

AMEN BROTHER!! We have plenty of folks here who are eager to voice an opinion and live to see their name in print. Unfortunately its too much trouble for them to do a little research and confirm facts. On another thread I posted the resource where any of these bozos could go and buy either...

Apparently you had sufficient interest to purchase it in the first place. What was the original purchase price?

It may be that the "fastest and safest" way to realize your goal will be to find a good trader and convince them to trade your account. Good luck with that. Steve
