Thanks for the advice. Probably, I should add a few more examples. I won't though except to say that a couple of personal events did cross my mind when you were doing your urban thing. I was walking along on the tundra through some Dahl sheep....... I was walking along in the cold at...

No ..I never thought of that.... There are many ways to think while trading or think about trading. Different strokes for different folks.... As a group of indivuals, each having terrific stuff, look at the same market, they are generally on the same effectiveness and efficiency levels...

I know trading is easy and, often while trading, I do not have to think about it consciously (commodities). My knowledge of the first thing about trading is that you need price change over time in a market that you are in to make the money being offered all of the time.

The limiting case of machines colluding is smoothing. I really like how the focus of big money is to go more and more macro to take smaller and smaller profits on many many small imbalances. LO is cool and Sloan must loved him and his dialogue with the troops. Learning is important and I...

See if you can get on board for the beta for SnapSheets; your skill level and the improvements that are available could let you use your person capital and you might make what you did in the past annually, in a quarter. Working alone is your best bet. Put that stuff in T bills and use the T...

The shift frrom working full time to monitoring full time does give you several advantages. The 2% applies to every trading day regardless of market context. You are using a conservative percentage and that is fine. The switch you made from position trading to what you are doing now is...

We are enjoying doing the traditonal prep etc.; sorry I missed this until now. Thanks for commenting. Enjoy these days....

Wow.. just wait until you get to the behavioural part. There is a fast track alternative to your experience. The people who are or will be responding with the no answer, probably went the alternative route. The subconsious is the larger part of the learning process and there are many...

Again, I am not very skilled at communicating. Mistakenly, I used a term that I've read before and the term is part of the lingo of my generation. What "in my book" means when I write or speak it is this: "I feel and believe that what you are going to read or hear next is correct and...

Looks like intial entry and 10 more additions (say of 10 contracts each). The million dollars looks like a gross profit of a particular percentage. Would 100*(money out -money in)/ money in be an expression for that % gross profit? This kind of play is often recommended by many kinds of...

I think that many people do both: catch the turns and ride the middle. I think of it as a hold /reversal strategy and it's optimization is a matter of staying in the market at all times and on the right side of the market. I'm sure this means different things to different people simply...

this is a little complicated but you made a post; I "quoted" it and I failed to address my question to you. Sorry about my lapse in protocol. I was asking you (marketsurfer) about what and how you view a chart on a screen. Please to do not feel any obligation to chat back and forth with...

How to Make Money in Stocks, W J O'Neil. When you get to expert in stocks, then add commodities trading to your learning process. If you begin to transfer your stock trading template to commodities, you might want to catch the daily freebies (videos, etc) from John Carter (TX) and Hubert...

In the late 50's there were strings on grants that broadly applied. The Fall assembly required all faculty to orally and verbally say and sign a non-communist oath. This was all prefaced with the statement that if anyone did not sign it subjected to whole place to having funds withdrawn...

What's your best trading day? Just describe it in terms of how many account prints (pages) as sent by your brokers and the number of digits in the sum of the total net.

This thread on the PVT type trading for stocks works out quite well. I am not participating here (as a rule) as my contribution to its terrific value. Q and A's on SCT didn't work out. An SCT type thread that would parallel this one would be helpful to people who are doing what spyder and...

Personally, I just put a three weight heliotrope vertical bar in the Stoch 5, 2, 3 container. I like to keep the volume, MACD histogram and price clear of Stoch annotations. I may put a small properly aligned vertical tick below the price movement as a reminder of the BO on price that is...
