    The classes of trading, much less the types of trading within a class, preclude any one "thesis..lol" from having an impact. You may want to go the the next trader's expo to take a look at thousands and thousands of traders going to visit ver 100 presenters, all differing in many ways. The...

    Does it help to work in NYC?

    Sorry, I was misleading. Let me ungloss some things. I am only an amateur and the job thing is not part of the sequence for becoming an expert in trading with the orientation that others and I have out here. Net working is electronic or done by air out here. The local scene for passing...

    Scalping ES, ER, NQ, YM, SP, etc.

    Absolutely terrific post. The substitute for what to use for making money in low volatility, "trendless" markets is there and has very high utility. I would say that over 50% of my screen space has been made available for this stuff and most of it had to be coded over several renditions to...

    Does it help to work in NYC?

    Trading in Arizona is only a half day job here whereas in NYC I believe they stretch it out through the whole day for some unknown reasons. They also have a thing called snow in NYC. We restrict snow to the mountain ski areas here. Arizona is not on any cost of living lists since we do...
