First time Ive read your journal. Really enjoy it and hope you keep it up. In case you dont know it you are doing a fantastic job for the short time youve been at it. Hang in there.
Glad to see you again Tampa. Woodie looks and sounds like a hick but the guy is a good trader, not to mention Rover, Gio, Gb007 and a few others who have been trading many years.
Would you elaborate on this a bit. You are saying that they hedge their positions so the bonds bounce? Wouldnt they hedge with the indexes? Not sure how you mean this and would appreciate if you could give me a bit more info.
I agree. I have been here since Scientist started posting and hes one of the few posters here that I have a high regard for. He will hit back but generally only if provoked. The main thing is that I have learned things from him and thats what this board should be about. Most of those flaming him...
I am rereading this thread and would appreciate yours and anybody elses input on this subject. I am continually amazed at the synchronicity of markets. You can overlay ES and YM and theyre seldom more than a tick off which would indicate, imo, some sort of arbing, yet one has thousands on the...
Clash of the Titans? I am eagerly awaiting the results of this challenge. Please dont let this go the way of most ET challenges. I really think the differences are mostly semantics. The system/nonsystem debate is similiar to the indicator/noindicator debate. Everybody uses a system and...
Hope you keep this going. This kind of journal I find interesting. It is a battle with yourself. Hopefully professional help will shorten the learning curve.
Looks to me like 9600 is a distinct possiblity. The increasing volume was not so apparent on the previous declines. I cant see how anybody is long but I guess half of us have to be.:)
Ok. I get it now. Ive gotten a couple of posts and pms mentioning his chat room so the journal is a means of steering people to his chat room so it does have a certain logic behind it and I withdraw my complaint. Sometimes I can be pretty thickheaded.

People are duped into thinking trading is easy because when you look at charts (past action) all the setups and results are obvious. All the indicators work like a charm. When they try to trade "the hard right edge" they discover its a whole different ball game. IMO its the same...
Is there any way you could post these entries and exits close to real time? I just dont see the point of posting results after the fact. I think people could learn a lot by using a simple system with simple rules but I doubt many people are paying any attention because its just another...
Ive used QT off and on and it is a great app, except for one thing. Its a problem for me having all the charts the same color. If it had individual chart preferences it would be almost perfect. Hope they can do this eventually.
