You know how they could make this place 1000 times better? Charge a fee. Something small.....like 10 bucks a month. That would flush out all the idiots from here. Until then like you said, this place is mostly populated by wanna-be's who have never traded a share of stock/a contract in their...

You are right..............more like 75. In all seriousness there are far too many idiots on here who make 25 mkt calls a day for me to want to share ideas/talk seriously about the market. This place is a great source of entertainment...thats it. There are a few guys who I pm with to...

Thanks. There are a bunch of guys on here who do trade/have something to say worth reading. Just have to weed through most of the bullshit to find em. I usually PM to the guys I want to talk trading with. Otherwise this place is mostly populated by idiots.

Not exactly sure, but I would guess a lot of them are volume based. So when volume slows down maybe they scale back? I think it's a snowball like effect. Funds slow down after first hour or so.....algo's/programs slow down....traders slow down. Look 15 min chart each day for the last...

Listening to Surf talk about sucessful trading and what it takes is like listening to Jeffery Dahmer's parents on what it takes to raise raise a well balanced son. In my 17 years of trading I have never come across someone who is so wrong/ has no clue about trading like Surf. Were you...

Landis Just because you actually worked for and know PTJ doesn't mean you know how he trades. I'll take Surf's word over yours. He has interviewed 100 traders over 8 years.....much more qualified than you. Plus Surf has made 50 straight losing market calls.......he has to be right at...

Too funny............................and true.

I just think that blanket statements like that are ridiculous.

Most of the big funds tend to do most of their trading in the first and last hour. So normally thats when you see the most volume/ the best time to trade. During the summer with low volume/low volatility thats when most traders get involved. When things pick up in the fall the mid day won't...

Strictly......no. But they are a good part of my gameplan. I know guys who do strictly trade from charts who do very well. My problem with your comments are that you imply that trading off of charts is a losers game. Thats ridiclous.

It could be. I traded with some guys who were incredible tape readers in the early 90's. To me that game is long gone because of all the games that the algo's play in the mkts. I am sure there are still some guys out there who can do it, but to suggest that the majority of top traders these...

Well......you did a poor job of listening during your interviews. Your trading suggestions on here have been absolutely horrible. Your risk reward ideas are a recipe for disaster. Your stepping in front of trends has led to "paper" losses in 95% of your "trades". You are obviously not open to...

During the summer trade from 9:30 am edt until 11:00 a.m. Then from 3:15 pm to 4:00 pm. The mid-day is a time period some call "The Losers's Ball". People who get clipped early end up attending the Loser's Ball and make things worse. You will save yourself a lot of money staying out of the...

It's hysterical seeing you post about foolish ways to trade......seeing how you have the worst record on here for trades. For a guy who is never right you sure to talk a lot. Stick to writing cute little articles for Yahoo.

Reading the tape? What year are you in.....1987 ? With algo's controlling most of the volume these days good luck trying to read the tape. You have hit a new high on the clueless indicator.

What do you know about "real traders" ? This should be good.......

Surf and his bearish posts/calls. Are you ever right? Let me know when you go from bearish to bullish, will be the top.

I thought you closed up shop after your disasterous GS call ? Nice job stepping inf front of that steamroller. You and VN are a lot alike when it comes to trading. Both like to blowout with no gameplan.

Nice first post ever there amigo. I also traded 50k lots of ES when I was on a simulator years ago when I began. Surf is an intelligent fellow...but one of the worst traders on ET.

I am sorry Surf......but you teaching newbies how to trade ? This might be the most hysterical thing you have posted yet. You are a nice guy Dave, but an absolutely HORRENDOUS trader. What's next.....Jefferey dahmer's mom starting a thread on how to raise a a well balanced son ?
