I think most who say they don't trade over lunch will tell you they've proven to themselves again and again that they have a negative expected return over that time period, so they don't fell like they're missing anything. If you happen to catch a trend early, and are able to ride it through...

An Epson they had stacks of at Best Buy. (1990ish) Cost about a grand and had a 2 MB hard drive. Definitely doesn't get the oldest computer award. As a student, first one used was an Apple 2E.

Accepting losses, and the feelings associated with them, as part of the game. If you're afraid to lose, you lose.

"Since I've never been one to play it safe, I choose to try" - Jean Luc Picard

The people I know who fly first class are able to do so with huge discounts through frequent flier/ credit card miles. They're constantly traveling so those miles keep adding up. I know they could afford first class without the discounts, but they've said they would never pay that much on a...

Corey, You had mentioned before that you gradually increased size "more slowly than what you're comfortable with." Were there any points in your career when you were so comfortable with what you were doing that you instantly doubled or tripled your share size. Thx.

I just started reading Trading in the Zone again by Douglas. It's an outstanding re-read after trading for so many years, especially after having to do a complete 180 strategy wise. Right off the bat he talks about truly accepting the risk on every trade. But I think it's important to...

I guess I'd search on amazon for "john hull", and look through the table of contents of Options, Futures & Other derivatives. There are obviously tons of books on every one of those subjects, but an all encompassing one for what you're looking for may be hard to find. Good luck.

Just this week? Not including the huge move earlier in the month? I know it's all relative to # of contracts, but sheesh.

No, but can you see those brass balls of yours?

What kinds of returns does he get now? I'm very suspicious of the experience level. Goals are another issue all together. If he's up 5% in september, is he going to press harder for the rest of the year? If He's up 34% in June is he going slack off the rest of the year? You need to take...

Well, I have 35 days left to decide. I hope earnings season starts out nicely.

Bad password? Yeah right. At least it's a Saturday. Guess I'll go golfing.

People coming up with reasons why the market was up or down on the day after the fact. Not really cliche per se, but a regular occurrence on CNBC: Somewhere near the close, Maria B will ask an analyst why the dow is down 10 points on the day. The analyst will make up an answer. The dow...

Some, not most, have the adaptability to adjust to changing market conditions. Since you spend so much time telling all of us how impossible it is, you are obviously not one of those individuals.

I've been doing well above 50 lately, but there is no way I'd classify myself as a scalper. I understand the idea of the thread, but I don't think there is a direct correlation between strategy and number of trades per day.

I'm only 42, and I'm already starting to feel this way. Automation allows me to be in many positions at once, but the system is very selective. I've always done much better with a sniper mentality, and getting older (and somewhat more mature) allows me to not be envious of the young...

Great band. I vote we break it but close above it tomorrow. No real rational, other than I don't see a straight down day on op-ex.

Really?
