    Jesse Livermore

    I don't see any reason to venerate Livermore. There are many people out there who have lived nice clean lives and have taken care of business. They have worked hard, learned a profession and managed not to shoot themselves or their family members in the process. I realize it doesn't make for...

    Is giving back 15 ticks too much when day trading YM using 5min chart?

    Depends: What is your average size of a winning trade? What is the percentage winners? When you have a winner, how big is the average retracement? Answer to those questions will tell you whether you are giving away too much profit with your trailing stop. Good luck Steve

    For the true quants

    Hello: Again you have people posting but the thinking process is lagging behind... What I suggest (for anyone interested) is that they follow their interests and talents. IF you have an interest, and a talent for math and finance, then follow that road. Do whatever you can to insure that...

    Bye Bye Retail Trader

    I would like to say a word or two on behalf of the freaks and deviants who I have worked with in the past. First, it is apparent that I am a charter member of your club..Sorry about that. Second, I am pretty sure that I will never have to worry about whether I can make a living in the...

    Some of my best advise/precautions to fellow traders

    Well it is difficult to avoid the obvious comment. For instance, YOU didn't really read the post. I "exalt" the five traders who do great job, not only of trading, but with regard to living a good clean life. In fact, I feel lucky to have met them and since I am never too proud to learn...

    Jack Hershey Method: Channels

    So if I hear you right, you are asking Chicken Parts to do some of his own homework. Why should he do that. After all, that would take effort and persistence and what would he do if he started to make money. Then his whole agenda is screwed. Be careful Oddi, no good deed..... I have...

    Some of my best advise/precautions to fellow traders

    You see the problem don't you (directed to the thread's originator). You ask a question, and often the people who respond really don't have a substantive comment (in fact they usually don't know what the word "substantive" means). So what you get is crap, and then those of us who might...

    Jack Hershey Method: Channels

    I think many of us would like to know why all the negative comments from a person who obviously couldn't be bothered to learn the basic rule set? Steve

    Self Moderated Threads

    I just want to be able to send about 200 volts through the offending poster's keyboard. Thats all. I guarantee that they wouldn't screw with us more than once. Might also make sense to send a team of my guys out to open a can of good old American WhoopAss on anyone who decides to get too...

    Israelis murder seven Palestinians who were picnicking on beach

    I haven't seen people enjoying death and destruction more than you hosebags in a long, long time. You folks go WAY, WAY out of your way to talk about every catatstrophic event that occurs, as long as it includes someone's death or some mass destruction. I particularly like the plantive...

    I'm wasting my time?

    The best example I can give is from sports. If you step in to hit against Randy Johnson and you have a good attitude, you will be relaxed and ready to swing when you get a good pitch. Unfortunately, unless you also have the ability to see and hit a 100mph fastball you will still probably...

    Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Dead

    I just wish they would play the film that the camera recorded as the guided missile "homed in" on Zarqawi. As I understand it, some of these films, taken from very high tech weaponry, show the person's look of surprise as the missile flies right through the window and turns them into a rack...

    Bye Bye Retail Trader

    First of all boys & girls It is not "computers against each other".... It is the percentage of total volume executed during a time period. Usually it is calculated on a daily basis. As for the rest of your comments :)

    Do you trade index futures at the open?

    Couple of things before I hit the rack First, the open is the most important part of the day. Your best profit opportunity is trading the open. Trading the open requires discipline and planning. It also requires a good (accurate) conceptual understanding of the market. Retail traders do not...

    If you were assembling a trading room and you only could choose from ET's illustrious

    That ignore thing didn't last very long did it? So now your having a little internet tantrum. You might want to try holding your breath. No comments of substance, just a child's reaction to getting set on your ass. Yeah you are on the road to success alright.

    Trade-Ideas Seminar in San Diego

    No argument about the benefit of good training. I object to subsidizing the marketing costs of the product. If it is as good as you say, they should be able to demonstrate it either on the internet or pay their own marketing costs, bring in prospective clients and show them a compelling...
