IF that's truly why PDT came about, then blame: 1) individual investors/traders not taking responsibility for their own actions. 2) lawyers representing and fighting for irresponsible people (irresponsibility should not be rewarded). 3) SEC for caving into the pressure, knowing their...

the numbers don't lie, man. i'm not saying you made no progress. i'm just questioning if you really lost 10 lb of fat in less than 5 days. i don't care how good you eat or how much exercise you do. if anything this is probably what happened to you: weighed yourself after drinking a lot and...

dude, it's good if you've made progress, but 10lb in less than 5 days! ha!! first of all, when most people start to lose weight, they immediately lose WATER WEIGHT. water is part of your lean body mass. your lean body mass is everything but fat, so it includes water. you don't want your lean...

i'm not complaining about futures. i would still trade futures even if there wasn't PDT. i'm complaining about PDT even though it doesn't affect me because it's a f***** up concept. it isn't right, it shouldn't exist in america, and it should be done away with. and after they get rid of it, they...

thanks, but i already do trade futures... as for why i'm still here, i've explained this already in other posts...

i disagree with that. they should stay out of people's business, period. people should be able to do what they want with their money. i should not be forced to have x% of my account in anything. my opinion is, the SEC should not implement things that will hurt profitable traders because of...

lol

Re: PDT from: http://www.elitetrader.com/ch/transcripts/ib_chat.cfm who the f*** is the government to dictate what i should do with my money???????!?!?!?!? why doesn't our government stop wannabe actors from trying to become movie stars since the odds of success are so bad? (i'm being...

well yeah, dude... they put babes on tv cuz they know mainly horny male nerds/geeks watch techtv. lol anyway, morgan webb is definitely bangable. so is jessica corbin!! oh yes! :)

i agree with both points, especially point 1 (lack of social activity). i don't think a trader should think of trading as the answer to everything. for me it's about making money. i will find other things to do to take care of the social aspect.

Grob109/jack :p, i appreciate the responses of everyone who replied to this thread, including you. i just realized now that you had posted that chart after reading the above post. sometimes i miss posts. if you are indeed jack, i do read your posts and i can say i've learned from them...

tomorrow, 9/12 8-10:30 pm est on techtv, there is a special about this. i think it's called "music wars". i also think leo laporte is gonna be on the show; that's good because he's cool. :cool:

at my computer watching the markets. had the news on and saw the 2nd plane hit the WTC live.

disagreeing only doesn't usually persuade people. what are you saying nope to? what are your thoughts?

my opinion? i don't think you want my opinion. :p

well, one thing i know is not to argue with acrary. so it appears there is something to the divergence concept. :) but as nihabaashi said, how you use it is important. like if requiring divergence as an entry condition leads to missing too many trades, it may do more harm than good. thx...

NihabaAshi, this is exactly why i started this thread. as you said, divergence isn't all you use. that is the case for me, too. what i tried doing lately is also adding divergence as one of the conditions for an entry. so say i have 3 conditions for entry. i tried making a divergence the...
