i have known tape readers who out performed systems. i have never been really comfortable tape reading myself until now. it has taken over 30 years to become comfortable enough i could do it anytime, anywhere. now what i am saying is that i have new frontiers of personal experience that i...

i am just watching the quote screen. if i paid any attention to anything else my experience is that i will fail. admittedly i get my ass handed to me every now and then, but trying to dedicate any time to fundamentals such as news has not proven worth it either. (with the exception of 911 i...

After thirty years of mechanical systems modeling, I have developed some tape reading skills along the way. Rather than just hypothetically testing, I decided that I would put real money up to test and validate. My learning curve has dramatically diminished using this method to develop short...

shortly after i started trading i was doing 150 lots of full size old school sp's this was when the sp was around 500/600 and i knew it would probably wind up around 900 based on long term yearly std. dev. i rode that and made a fortune all to be lost fading the sp on it's way to 1500. i moved...

there have been some stupendous vendors, i made allot of money with a few. but you have to have a brain to decipher lust for the unearned vs a business endeavor, which btw is what trading is.

I would not ever had made it if I didn't realize I needed a mentor. Now the difference is that my mentor needed my programming abilities and so I was paid "reluctantly" to be mentored to. Often I was told I should have been paying him and he was so correct. My mentor not only paid me (mostly...

I have tried it and at first it seemed really nuts. But the more I used it the more I liked it, I have gone live trading now.

Jacob Biczo passed away unexpectedly on March 12, 2016. He was 19 years old. Please help his family with this expense in any way you can. Jacob was loved by everyone he met. He was an amazing son, grandson, brother,friend, cousin, and nephew. He will be greatly missed by everyone that was lucky...

i think you curse yourself when you humblebrag. i did it and it hurt me badly because my focus changed from trading to lambo's and houses. i was much more profitable in a rented duplex than in a office at the cme building. many big guys have gone thru this, most buy restaurants and bars then...

Buck - I commend you and would like to participate sometime on skype. I was like you at one time, I gave and gave and many funds have made many mllions of dollars using code I have provided freely. I figure if I give away what I have - then I will just keep creating...

i have been mentoring for many many years and agree with the assumption if your mentoring you can't trade. i think the exact same thing all the time, but thank god i really did have a mentor who really did trade and had the jet, home, operations and was the real deal. i will say that i did...

me and complete history. where you located?

Exactly all he needs is a small audited track record and he would be off and running.

I would like to tell you how I landed a job as a trader for one of the largest traders in the world. A mutual trader knew the both of us and said we should meet but I was determined to trade for myself and not work for anyone. One of the big traders broker called me one day and we chatted, he...

The whole argument of technical vs discretionary is idiotic because we are all system traders if you're not a gambler that is. Every trader has a system if you don't you're a gambler they just don't get it. So it's really systems traders being attacked by gamblers. BTW Xela you make some...

Why are System Traders Vilified by Discretionary Traders? Yet you do not ever see System Trades trolling discretionary traders. I think as a Systems guy, I look upon discretionary traders as "special needs" traders. Often I ignore and or tolerate the few trolling discretionary traders who...

I have put KP on ignore per Mod's advice. He is just a vindictive little minded loser who is probably lost all his parents money after graduating and deciding to make money the easy way trading rather than work at a real job. Now he is out for vengeance to anyone successful, actually I should...

In other words TRADERS with SQUARE WHEELS should stay out of the PASSING LANE.

I would like to explain that Mr. Mark Brown was a username that the Mod's of ET gave me back in many years when my original username of MarkBrown(.)com was viewed as being commercial even though I had such username for about 5 years prior to these newbie Mod's concerns the old mature level...

All very good points and glad to see there are a few sane people on ET. Thank you for your post. Gambling phase: 1 year My introduction to trading was like gambling. Quite literally setting around restaurants and bars watching the ticker on a TV with a group of guys and we bet on the market...
