    Perfect example of why Al Brooks is impossible to follow

    It is for me. Some guys can do it, but I have to trade what's moving on unusual volume. I've tried the market making thing on one stock all day. I officially suck at it.

    Perfect example of why Al Brooks is impossible to follow

    It's easy to get sucked into the security of feeling like you won't miss anything if you only watch one market. But there are equity trades all over the place every day. Maybe take what you learned from watching futures and apply it to stocks?

    Perfect example of why Al Brooks is impossible to follow

    You don't see success? You think Lescor, Dustin, EricP, Szeven, etc are just making shit up?

    $600M scheme incubated in NC town

    "I never told anyone to invest more money than they could afford," Burks snapped. "I didn't tell them to do that. Never." He said if they lost money, "it's their fault. Not mine. Don't blame me." It's a shitty deal, and he probably belongs in prison. But he's right. People not doing any...

    The loneliness of success

    Please explain to me how this is possible more often than once every 28 days. Unless it involves meditating while looking at your bare backside in a mirror? That would be f'd up. But so is this thread.

    Koch bros funded re-confirms hockey stick temp chart

    PLEASE send some of this global warming of yours to Wisconsin. This is about the time we start seeing large chunks of our lawn, but there's 2 feet of snow on the ground. And I just plowed the driveway again as the result of 4 more inches which fell during 20 MPH winds. And the forecast...

    Better off as a plumber?

    Do you mean fixing them up and selling them, or selling them from a used car lot?

    The 10,000 hour rule.

    I guess I'm ready to be baffled by the numbers who will be given a gift, but won't pick it up, even though it's right in front of them.

    The 10,000 hour rule.

    Does Apple prove that the stock market can be a total joke?

    I think this only works on an extremely short term basis, and then you can still get your head handed to you on a regular basis. I like Denise Shull's book, where she talks about how important it is to read the other guy. Enter the trade on impulse and you're dead. Take the split second to...

    Does Apple prove that the stock market can be a total joke?

    I think he's quoting what the average joe would say. Not himself.

    Does Apple prove that the stock market can be a total joke?

    Market cap means nothing. Relative performance does. As far as the market being a total joke, I agree with Nicholas Darvas.

    Discretionary Day Trading: Maintaining Focus

    I did a search for "focus", and of course, Professor Donna's thread is one of the first, and the best I see. I run automation in the morning, and I thought that would be it for me for the day. But I can't simply quit manual trading just because it's hard. After all, I have a strat which...
