10:39 Bot @918.....+/-0 It could have been the start of something big – but it wasn’t. I’ve been sucked into this situation five times over the last two sessions – not a good sign. I am too anxious, too impatient to wait for a clear indication. I find myself “anticipating”...

Hindsight is of course 20-20. In looking back at today’s action, it is clear that my attitude was too cavalier, and I attempted to jump in early – you know, trying to not miss the big move. Well the big move never came, and I was properly “rewarded” for my greed. I know better, and...

You misunderstand - it's the other moderators I try to get around.

I know, I know - you guys want action – trades, lots of trades. Well, there ain’t gonna be any “action” unless there really is some action – or to put it another way: an impulse move. My trading life has changed for the better since I finally got the concept drilled into my thick...

OK, you caught me. Only the smokes and the soda is "for real" - the rest is kind of just made up. (And it's only 2 packs, not 2 1/2)

09:25 Trade Prep: Winston 100’s – 2 ½ packs – check. Large glass of diet orange soda– check. Hostess-Twinkies - 6– check. Alka-Seltzer – 6 tablets– check. Extra Strength Tylenol – 1 bottle– check. Rolaids – 2 six-packs– check. Wise Potato Chips – 1 32oz bag–...

Due to the overwhelming demand, ”The Daily Skirt” will no longer be published on this thread. From now on “The Daily Skirt” will be available only via PM. To get the real low down, and the ugly truth about the doings in Journalville, simply let me know if you would like to subscribe...

Dreams Die Hard With shouts of: “No, don’t do it – he’ll be back!”, a sizable, but dwindling crowd attempted to stop the boarding up of the abandoned former thread of 40yotrader. ET moderator Magna was given the unenviable task of announcing that the dream was over. In a last...

The morning gap up left me paralyzed, unable to do anything with it. But the afternoon session presented a classic impulse move to the downside. Distractions kept me from taking full advantage of the move, but... 03:36 Sld @908 +3 Points It could have been better, but I’ll take it.

So I’m out with a few friends, enjoying an adult beverage (if you know what I mean), and a couple of well known ETers come in the place. Holy cow, it was Allen__, and Brandon__(sorry, they asked that I not use their last initials). Well we get to drinkin’ and talkin’. Allen__ says that...

Did you see BrandonF’s poll in the Feedback section? Now I don’t know what you think about the guy, but he’s probably OK. He’s probably not much different from you, or me – only I rarely get a toot on, start feeling sorry for myself, and post a poll. This journal thing is becoming...

For whatever it's worth, I vote: NO

BINGO - that's the very kind of thing that I was talking about - incredibly good, sound advice, and for free. Now how many of you so-called "newbies" will pay attention to it? Or will you start a thread asking if xyz.com has good calls?

Have you noticed the large number of threads devoted to asking for recommendations on one guru or another? Almost without fail, the threads turn out the same – a little bit of faint praise, and a good smattering of criticism. Member after member reports that so-and-so was a disappointment...

Magna Spills The Beans! In a rare moment of candor, Magna, ET’s wisest and most respected moderator let slip his true feelings toward the journal keeper known as “tampa. Magna was quoted as saying: ” As one of the most admired and respected traders on ET you can certainly appreciate...

What works – what doesn’t... I know that you are going to think that I’m pulling your leg, but I swear that what I am about to tell you is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. A number of years ago I bought this book on Astrology and Trading – I think that the...

You are so wise. No wonder you are the moderator, and I am nothing more than a tabloid scribe. But how much longer do we have to wait, damn-it! I've got a deadline to meet!!!

Now Magna? Can we start now? It's more then 72 hours - how much longer do we have to wait? Come on, Magna - just say the word man...

Have you seen this man? It can now be told that Baron, beloved leader of the Elite Traders Forum met late into the night with the entire staff of ET moderators discussing the mysterious disappearance of the popular 40yotrader. 40, as his friends and close associates call him, was last...

Could we talk a bit about the elusive impulse move and the role that Keltner Channels play in identifying them? I am somewhat embarrassed in that it appears to some (many?) of you that I think that I have discovered something new and wonderful. I haven’t, and I am well aware of that. I...
