Asking a successful trader to show you in real-time that he is truly good is futile. That's like going up to a good baseball player and asking them to hit homeruns in front of you. Everyone has bad days -- but that doesn't mean they aren't overall good over the longer term. In fact...

Daniel_M, You are so sweet to me. Some days I want to punch you and other days I want to buy you beers. You're a great guy -- I like you.

I need an ice-cube bath.

Tampa, Lighten up!

You are both wrong. PI*2 = 6.2832

InandLong, Good points. Think of trading a lot like dating and picking up women. There are some people who are totally clueless about women. They could read all these books on how to pick up women at a club, then frequent a site called "Elite Dater" and hear about how all these pimps...

Gordon, Do you hear this? You better hope on your sweet ass that we're going to fall in the 5% range. That is like ... what? 3 sigma? Keep your fingers crossed and hopefully we can wade through all the bullshit to get to a decent destination. In a way, the quest of trading and...

Trend, Well, besides watching charts and price action and volume, what else is left? Am I supposed to go into a government building and pay somebody to get the numbers before they are released to the public? The guy who audits those numbers has a real edge. What other edge is left for a...

5%? It gets more and more depressing every moment. I am going to bed before I start crying.

You mean I can't make money trading e-minis? I just told everyone in my family that I'm going to be a millionare one day. Damn it, I've been lied to by a lot of people on here! I just got a new LCD flat-screen monitor, too! I guess the only thing I'm going to do with it now is watch porno...

There is no shortage of idiots on ET. RS7 is a good guy. I want him to stay. You wouldn't want to miss the first trade in my journal would you?? Don't leave. :( :( :(

What's the matter shithead? Is that all you can come up with? You disappoint me.

Rs7, I understand how you feel. If anyone has taken a bunch of shit (maybe some of it deserved) on this board, it has definately been me. However, don't let other people upset you. I hung around because I realized that when everything is said and done, what matters most is what you think...

Jesus Christ Quah -- I like this simple better.

Montgomery County in Maryland is one of the wealthiest counties in the nation. It is very affluent and upscale. The crime rate in that area is usually non-existent, so I'm sure this is really devastating to the people that live there. People are afraid to go outside. One of the guy's who...

In the county right next to mine in Maryland, we have a guy running around with an assault rifle popping off people. What kind of sick, twisted brain disorder causes someone to shoot people in the head from a distance just for kicks? This is the kind of shit that needs to end. They need to...

SELL and cover at DOW 5,000.

Max and his "ostentatious verbosity" have me cracking up every time I read a new post. You'd make a great english teacher -- at least we'd all get a good nap in your class. lol

Don, I want a free seminar and 500k in capital to trade with at one of your offices. :D

What I don't understand is two wise-old sayings that seem to contradict each other. Now, I'm only going to trade index futures, but here is what I've heard: "Pigs get fed while hogs get slaughtered." "Cut your losses and let your profits run." Now, I've noticed that with my style of...
