LMAO! I've a husband not a wife, but I assure you the speculation surrounding these items "tied up" the trading room convo most of that day.

Velcro Chain Turkey Baster Oh wait, that's not MY desk, it's my friend Win's desk!

Read "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell, PhD. It will likely change your life: http://www.thechinastudy.com/about.html If this was required reading in every educational institution in the world, ISRG would rapidly become the next CROX. NoDoji 4.5 years cancer free; no chemo...

No live trades today. +$314 for the week, better than a stick in the eye. Decided to dedicate the day to ES sim because I feel like I'm getting the hang of it and it's nice to trade one thing! I forgot to check news times and missed getting in on ES off durable goods. I saw it suddenly...

No live trades today. +$314 for the week. Sim traded ES exclusively today in the morning and afternoon very successfully, but still scalping. Took 11 pts scalping. I guess there could be worse ways to trade.

No to say that is necessarily problematic. One of the heaviest hitters on this site told me a while back that his R:R is quite negative, but he's right most of the time :) Alan Farley describes three R:R scenarios for making $10K profit on 100 trades on page 146 of his excellent book "The...

You reveal your lack of integrity on Elite Trader by this statement, taken completely out of context. Surf regularly posts stock trade ideas and posted several "5 days down" long setups. This had nothing to do with his overall bearish index bias.

Hog, I met you through ET and although it doesn't show (yet), you've provided me 5 years worth of valuable information. I studied guitar with Pat Martino years ago for a summer. He laboriously wrote out lessons for me, which, it turns out, I still study and learn from all these years later. I...

Indeed! I hate shorting lows; it's so tedious. Give me a nice show of strength to sell into, so I can see the green grow in minutes instead of hours.

So today on CMCSA your limit order @ 16.65 was filled. You now have a sell stop @ 14.66 and a sell limit order @ 16.99, is that correct? You're risking $5970 for a potential gain of $1020?

A lot of people compare trading to gambling and this is an area where it's very similar. You have nice gains and get both greedy and loose, giving up the gains with lower probability setups, or chop-chop zones. My husband and I were in Vegas years ago and he'd made money and given it all back...

Someone posted a quote on ET a few months ago that I keep in front of me at all times: “Being disciplined in the past isn’t good enough: on each and every trade you must be disciplined. Forever. Like a drunk in a program you can NEVER slip off the wagon.” I still fall prey to...

Overseas markets will pull back because of worries over our housing market failing to provide more green shoots for the economy. This, combined with RIMM's failure to exceed expectations, will cause futures to fall by tomorrow morning. If this doesn't happen, that means my prediction was...

Oh yeah! Hey, I'd've been happy with this trade done live on 1 car! You know, I've watched this housing news "creep action" a couple times now. Is this a pretty reliable indicator as to the market's reaction to the news, or is it just 3 coincidences where just before the news the market...

It's a dip!!! Buy the dip!!! Buy AAPL, GOOG, RIMM, quick before AH trading closes!!!

A trader needs 6 hours sleep a night, so going to bed at 12:30 a.m. is OK, but if you're not getting to sleep until 1 a.m., then you're shorting yourself. Hmmm...that shouldn't surprise me actually... :p Nice job, and tell the little guy you can only eat those symbols if they're floating...

Best day ever sim trading ES, but I traded 7 contracts, something I’d never do live at the point I did in sim today because of the risk, but I figured 7 would be the max that I could do with my account size (I really don’t know what the requirements are but I figure around $3500 per...

+ $120 Short ANF @ 33.20, pullback from double top at open, covered @ 32.94 pivot off just below yesterday’s support and very oversold for +$50, just .06 cents from the pivot low. Short ANF @ 32.86 as it dropped on housing news, got in quite late in the move and only 100 shares lifted...

+$120 Still weenie shares live. Best day ever in ES sim trading +$4866

+$47 Short ANF @ 33.30, sharp selloff from the high, covered @ 33.14, pivot off yesterday’s low: +$30 Had a few scratch trades on ANF looking for a breakdown of the low that didn’t materialize: +$13 Again ANF left a couple higher lows and I never went long, missing a long steady run...
