    TradersExpo Dallas 2011

    Well now I have heard it all. A former ET poster and NQ trader, N.Q. Enqueue, contacted me to say that he was inspired by this thread, and informed by his fab fashion sense, to offer consulting to sartorially-challenged North Texans on what to wear to the Expo when it is in Dallas. He said to...

    Is Texas the best state in which to live?

    Fire ants. Mexicans. Latter day carpetbaggers. Tornadoes. Heat. Drought. White trash. Uppity coloreds. Consider Huntsvile Alabama instead. It only has four of the above eight. Take it from me. I live in Texas. I am two of the above eight. A choice is a terrible thing to waste.

    TradersExpo Dallas 2011

    Sick-Sick-Sick, the card reads: "Take the market's offer." After I compared everything I remember Jack saying to what I know to be true from real every day trading experience, that's all that was left.

    TradersExpo Dallas 2011

    Alas, 'Lectric, my circumstances are not as grand as you fantasize. My manse is a single-wide (no AC, broken screens) in an especially seedy weedy trailer park in Collin County. Its only charms are that everybody there is white (trash), and it is within easy hobbling distance for an old cripple...

    TradersExpo Dallas 2011

    My, my! I had no idea the Dallas area spawned so many trading entrepreneurs. I am pleased to announce that John Merchant's Traders' Press will be there selling Expo-only specially-priced copies of their best seller "Hershey For Dummies." It collates and explains in simple language all that is...

    TradersExpo Dallas 2011

    This just in. I received a PM from long-time ET member Rahula Gautama, as follows: "Greetings gentle Arthur! I am the Dallas agent for the Indian Outsourced Trading Bureau in Delhi. Be pleased to tell all of ET that if they wire funds to our bank and email a clear description of their best...

    TradersExpo Dallas 2011

    Cobra Trading of Allen Texas, self-described as "an on-and-off ET sponsor," is working to bring TradersExpo to the Dallas area at a yet-to-be-announced date in 2011. With a little artful hacking, I have purloined a preliminary list of vendors from the local area. Those of us in Dallas are...

    Ain't that just dandy! I'll come eyeball the place next time I'm at Cru or making my weekly pilgrimmage to Market Street. My trailer park is just one exit south of you. Pity your futures rates aren't competitive. Also it looks like only the online platform is free, all direct access costs, which...

    I think Mark Douglas was spot on in his books about market action being all about belief. For myself, I only trade what I have backtested. That is the source of my belief. Verging on faith. That is not to say that there aren't days when I feel like Job.

    Do you still call a bear flag when it starts riding up your MA?

    There was a totally random, utterly irrational, and usually untrustworthy bounce off a Dow retracement of the last big move. Unverifiable as valid by backtesting. You believe that voodoo bullshit? Somebody did.

    Agreed. The more confident I get, the more I simplify my screen. What time scale are you watching primarily?

    Yes, I remember those days well. And recall the experiences of certainty you had. Nowadays I have a visualization of T&S so I won't go blind and get vertigo from watching the actual transaction stream.
