who else is bearish on GS? Are you serious? As evil as they are, I would never short that empire. Not even for the short term. Who cares what the chart says. At some point commom sense has to come into play. And as a disclaimer, I have a gamma scalp position on GS right now, and...

No trades today. (again) Up 35 bucks today on my stupid hedge. Down just under 400 in it to date. IV is fairly low but I have a feeling that theta is going to get the best of me coming out of earnings season. Lesson: IV being low is not a good enough reason to put on a gamma scalp...

Amongst all of the bickering here, I'm wondering if anyone has noticed that the vid has been pulled from the site. http://johnstradingclub.com/2009/07/paul-tudor-jones-trader-video/ Enjoy it on youtube while you can.

Good vid. But as soon as I registered, I received some bullshit email (in addition to the legit one) which asked me to click on a link to confirm my email address. Be careful out there. Landis, in what capacity did you work for him?

They also recommended that you buy puts on AAPL just before earnings. Nothing like telling the public to get crushed on implied volatility. When are people going to learn? It doesn't matter how big the firm is. You just can't listen. "Will you do your own homework Marv?"

Got some back today. +623

Right back in the groove of positive expectancy, even with your big hits. Extremely impressive. No trades for me today. Just watched my dum dum trade lose another 195. Max loss is 2k. A little less than half way there. Needed some movement in the market either way, and after not getting it...

Nothing like putting together an ok day trading and watching it get pissed away by a dumb longer term trade. +430 from trading -468 from stupid

+228

Amen Bro. Automation. You and I have been inundated with stats which say it is impossible to succeed as a trader, yet most of the people who quote those stats are (guaranteed) discretionary traders. Once you take emotions out of the game, it's all math. Well, for the most part...

I think somebody slipped my api a mickey. First day over 100 in a week. +496

It's a good one to use. Lot's of traders have a few good years and think they're on their way. Then boom, they're gone.

It seems your ars isn't very statistically adept. Even if the p/l thread is 100% BS, and I know it's not, if there are sub 50k earners here as well as some who make over 500k, there would be an extremely high prob of a few showing up who make a figure somewhere in between. But then again...

Because the majority of the people here are more concerned with the death of a pop star than the death of their nation. Too busy watching TMZ to pay attention to what matters.

Doubt it. Successful trading takes much more than strength and aggression.

One trade out of three made it worth sitting down today. +445. About a K for the month. Zzzzzzz.....

+350. Up a whopping 530 for the month. Bought a front month 900 spx call as a toy at the close. (yes just 1) My half assed technical analysis abilities tell me this looks like a pretty sexy support area so I thought I'd risk 250 bucks. We'll see.

I got a fill report tonight 2 1/2 hours after the actual trade. How many milliseconds is that? The NYSE can't go a full month without some kind of system issues. How the hell are they going to manage trying to make it faster?

Nothing like getting a fill report on TMK 2 1/2 hours after the actual fill. NYSE, get your shit together. Was able to bail to arca at 19:02 eastern. Great price improvement, but didn't want to hold 1000 shares over the long weekend, especially after a crappy debt rating. TMK was only...

God I feel smart now. My dog probably would've gotten that before me.
