While the leadership of the Republican Party is stunningly stupid, they are not so stupid as to recommend giving up the filibuster while they are the minority. Besides, during critical national need, both parties tend to come together on legislation, even if the previous minority party would...

I am increasing journal account risk allowance as seemingly justified by improving trading performance during the last few weeks. My risk allowance per trade is now $250, net of hedging. Each profitable trade will increase my risk allowance by $50; each loss decreases it by $25. Should I...

No trades this week. Busy as hell at work, but for being in the top 1% in earnings nationwide for three consecutive weeks, I’m not complaining. With all the money I’m saving, there is a portfolio margin account in my near future. All that is needed next is me learning to trade! Still, should...

Meanwhile, in Amarillo, TX, restaurant food preparers and servers at a travel center are no longer wearing masks. Oh, the potential legal liability for the twice bankrupted chain, much less the potential hot zone possibilities that could very well effect transportation workers nationwide...

For security reasons, I use a dedicated computer for trading and a different device for social media and internet browsing.

Account returns to profitability on more active trading. Had a less hectic week at work, allowing more time for trading. I thought about my setups and inputs into my trading decisions. I feel I’ve not only plugged a major trading leak, but now have a new setup idea. There are also some...

An expectation of an up move is reasonable, and certainly in the direction of the trend, but on my swing trading timeframe, the reward/risk is not impressive. For now, I’ll continue do my “Poor man’s” gamma scalping which benefits when the market trades in a range.

Odds are, whatever price you are looking at, you will see both higher and lower prices as the session develops. They don’t call me an “ATM” for nothing. Wait a minute... Just what do they mean by calling me an ATM? ... Bastards!

Twisted, encouraged, enforced or whatever it takes for criminals to feel at home with their behavior so as to encourage it. After all, the more criminality, the greater the demand for government services. Besides, the more people who do illegal things, the easier it is to control them. One...

Plenty of resistance, but plenty of momentum. My guess is the March ES contract will expire near ATH. On my swing time frame, the trend in ES, NQ, and of course, RTY is up.

About time we got rid of that nasty, old Democracy! Besides, what have we, the people, done lately to deserve Democracy? We have voted in those who know what’s best for us, so what is the point of questioning their actions? We no longer need to fear losing what we don’t have. It is like a...

No doubt God is taking notes!

Had an interesting conversation yesterday with someone I hadn’t talked to before from Illinois. While we did not talk about trading, there were definitely applications to trading and our economy. A quick summary is I should never take anything for granted and to actively reexamine my...

Might work for what?

You have to feel bad for the guy. I mean stimulus checks only go so far in San Francisco. In addition, no bail required policies means these guys are back out on the street quicker and thus have higher expenses than they would being locked up. Even further, we must consider the emotional...

And now Syria? Wheeeee. If you are a defense contractor. Then again, who am I to criticize? Socialistic policies have doubled my income for me doing half the work. For ever how long it lasts, anyways.

Was it Mensa International or Menstral? Oh well, if Nine_Ender is one of the elites, the least we can do is teach him(?) English contractions: https://englishstudypage.com/grammar/list-of-contractions-in-english/

A trading compliment from Sir Vanzandt. Worth placing next to the family pictures and telling the grandkids about! Well done, Buy1Sell2!

I smell weakness..

After it is all said and done and they figure out the vaccine is not “The end all, be all” solution they thought it would be, what’s next? Covid mutates every six months or so, similar to influenza, and it takes us a year to develop a vaccine that has questionable effectiveness for the most...
