Why do most top traders have a solid history in poker playing? They don't. You are confusing some ET poker breast-beating with reality. :)

Well hell I don't understand playing a game with pain. This is not trading. As obstinate as the human mind can be, why put it in the way of losing positions which apparently it then commands you to hold until the blood is dripping from your fingers. That is not trading. Just take day...

Undoubtedly true. However it may be that otherwise I differ slightly. Study of your chosen market plus preparation & planning do not require trading. Ultimately of course you must trade .. when ready. I have not done so myself and therefore I do not encourage anyone else to go into...

Does money buy happiness? Are different versions of the same theme going to be rehashed and re-offered? Lets just turn the question around. Does happiness make money? Well, hell, happiness probably does have a bias towards helping you make money. How many miserable depressed f**ks make a...

I can understand why those less self trained or less knowledgeable want to only trade the first hour and half or first 2 hours of the market. However you can discover from a whole day approach (eg YM) that opportunity and movement are there constantly to be exploited throughout the session...

Wallace, thank you for your elucidation. I notice you mention imprinting. This together with bonding make up two of the biggest natural conditions that shape humans as with other animals. The hardest part of EFT to give credence to is the tapping thing. But an open mind is necessary and...

There is no meltdown and there will be no meltdown There has been a cumulative fall since May 10 .. so what. And looking at the US & world economy things are alright. Successive market days, rich in movement, are hay days for traders. :)

Do you yell and scream at the computer if you do a bad trade? No one should be doing bad trades. It means go back to the drawing board if you trade with setbacks occurring. Taking money out of the market is calm preoccupation. Now who would want to be a dickhead venting at some goddamn...

Clever businessmen go into politics to get things done and make a big f**kin' difference. Thats the first thing they get wrong. Now, the best that Paulson can do is to have a nose for saying the 'right thing' and to not go around upsetting as many goddamn apple carts as he can. He has the...

Thunderdog, the blowfly of the threads .. drifting aimlessly. Sweet. :)

This question is a two parter. Also I'm treating the question as running a total operation to make profit day on day .. no jacking around. Participants get basic plus bonus on the particular market they play and on the system they are given. Assembling a trading room? In reality no one would...

I think you'll find it more likely that a barrel of oil will fall out of the sky and strike your 200$ suit. :)

Aside from whether anyone's claimed profits are true or not, perhaps there is more general way to generate comment. Did anyone not make money in May? :cool:

Asshole office stiff, your crybaby story looking for help said it all. Stay with your fantasy of wanting to run a hedge fund. Sweet. LOL. Or try a website where they have an active Fantasy Support Unit. :)

Take a break asshole. You appear to be describing yourself. A bottom rung office stiff who wants to run hedge funds .. so sweet. Doesn't know horsesh*t. :)

You appear to know very very little about trading. Go back to Snakes & Ladders or Noughts & Crosses to keep yourself amused and out of harms way. :)

What would I have to regret, asshole? Independent trading is only an option for players who operate as big winners. So you need to break out of your fantasy, pal. :)

You're at a dead end, pal. End of the line. Your current ride is over. You have to get off .. and do something else. :)

When to exit? EOD. Every day. Catch everything the whole day has to offer (eg YM). :)

Lets just correct StoragePro's 4 points of learning. 1. You are dumb and fail to know it! You fail to realize your level of deep ignorance plus inexperience which goes way beyond just knowing you were initially dumb. Deep ignorance is usually lasting for the player who fails or who does not...
