There are a couple of things I would suggest, and I hope they are "acceptable" to everyone. First. I would suggest that blowing out your account is not unusual especially if you are a retail trader. I have seen it a number of times and invariably the reason is lack of education (First)...

Hello: I am looking into this alternative myself. I am building a home on land that does not have pay TV service just yet, and the cell phone service is not good. I have been introducing myself to neighbors and asking them what they do for internet and cell phone services. Although none are...

Walther, I would love to know. Please start holding your breath now. You can start breathing again when I apologize and say "please".:D

Pathetic. Poor old guy. Do you know what year it is? You don't even know that an option can trade through your stops. Believe me I will take it easy on you from now on. Nobody here will spend more than a second thinking about your advice. Keep on with those celebrations. I hear they are...

Walther: Thanks old guy, now we know where you stand. From my point of view you are a total fraud. The only thing that you have going for you is that you aren't smart enough to try to scam the newbies. It took you "days" to even become aware that a comment was directed to you, you...

Hey Boys & Girls: I like this trade by the way. Nothing wrong with picking up 42 YM points. As regards the concept of MRC, I think however that some of you have (as I have mentioned before) "no clue" There is a reason why price moves, and if you take the time to look deep enough, you...

LD I'd like you to understand something. I don't bear any resemblance to your mother. I'm not here to make sure you are comfortable and you get all your questions answered. I gave you an opinion. I hope you get it. Now I'd like to see some evidence that you are doing some of the work...

Hightech: You dont need anything to profit in the markets. You could just flip a coin and trade. Either you would win money or you would lose (some, or all). None of this has to do with edge. You are asking about edge before you have put in any work at understanding what it is, and what the...

Your getting a little bit sensitive today. Sometimes a joke is just a joke. The rest of your "advice" is well meant I am sure, but you have not thought it out. For instance, who says indicators are no good..... you? The real problem I think is that many if not most new traders do not take...

Thats unfair. Some of us know him affectionately as a hot dog. :D

Those are serious deficits. You are trading against folks who research and do the homework that you say you can't do right now. This puts you at a definite disadvantage. Based on what you have said, I would say that the next time the markets open you will be giving up an edge to those of us who...

Little "Duckface": I think the comedy act is great. We all need to relieve the pressure of having to perform. Oh by the way, we aren't trading today..... Now as to your points. Well I highly encourage you to think a little bit about the concept of edge. Again just in case you have...

As usual, Walther has his head so far up his ass, that one cannot determine if he will come up for air. First, the idea that one can make a specific profit (on average?) is bullshit. Profit selling premium depends on IV and supply/demand. Simple Liquidity is important (he got one right)...

I enjoyed the penis comment. Will hold that one aside for the next time I have a date. :D Steve

Edge is information. An example: Say that I have downloaded the intraday charts for the last 6 months. I have changed the price data from absolute price (say 1275.25 going to 1275.75) into price jumps (say .50pts, followed by .25, then 1.25 etc) so now I have a table that consists of price...

Lil D: Your kidding right?

COOLW I do understand. This is my business. Has been for more than a decade. In fact, when you trade 300, 200 and 100 shares, you are showing something to the market. You are showing that you are "small time". You are giving up an edge right there. If I see you coming in with small size...

Yes, you bring up a good point. One that is worth mentioning again. Defending your self-image (what you have called ego) takes a lot of effort IF your self image is not really you. If what you are defending is an act, then most of your energy is devoted to maintaining your fake personality...

Congratulations Baron: Seems that the Barrons Survey did not find any of the competitors as successful as "EliteTrader". Based on the page views and the increasing enrollment one can see that people are finding the content interesting enough to return and eventually participate. I would...

Ok, well I am not feeling all that great, but when I read that Coolweb is talking trash to someone else about trading small, then I sort of have to step in.. You see CW, I mentioned this to you as well. You were boasting about your success and then you made the mistake of posting your trade...
