<i>People are born then they suffer and then die.</i> addendum: Wayne's funeral was today, in the largest gathering this town's Catholic church ever recalls seeing. People filled the spacious building, and the crowd's overflow spilled out to the walkway in front. It was repeated over and...

Wayne passed away Monday, 4/23 while at the doctor's office. He was suffering from fluid retention as his lungs faltered and heart was weakened from years of smoking, drinking, poor diet and nil exercise. Wayne had congestive heart failure right there at the VA hospital, with orders in place...

<i>"What OHLC data you'll use on Monday to view gaps, calculate pivot points etc. Today (Thursday) or this short tomorrow?"</i> Use the "all sessions" pivot values inside globex session. Use the pit session pivot settings during the actual pit session. You will see each version respected...

<i>"Never short a dull market"</i> I've easily lost $10,000s thru the years bucking that age-old market cliche`. Price action levitates easily on light volume, almost always comes down on normal to high volume. Very seldom do we see a low-volume selloff. Shorting in dull markets...

When people think about honeybees, they naturally assume conversation is limited to honey. Actually, honey is just a secondary byproduct of bee production. Anything that flowers must be pollinated by something in order to produce seeds in the form of fruits, vegetables or grains. A small...

This is a very serious problem... far exceeds the perceived problems with crude oil supplies. People hear about "insects" and dismiss it out of hand. Big mistake. A collapse of bee colonies everywhere has swept the U.S. this year. I belong to a beekeepers group, and many complain about...

What value does the Religion & Politics thread add to a site filled with elite traders? Is it a learning center for advanced trading? Positive reinforcement = support? Humorous and enlightening? Creates a happy, cheerful mood? Do the people it attracts and the clicks it generates add any...

<i>"Yeah, but I wasn't part of the competition smarty pants."</i> I ask again: "What competition?" In another thread I noted that virgin had never once posted a trade blotter inside ET. He in turn invited me into the chatroom to trade together. He traded FX while I slept, he slept while I...

<b>virgin</b>, I won't give you the satisfaction of what you seek, easy as that would be. I'm all done having my strings tugged by a troll like you. Your opinions about anything and your very existence mean nothing to me. God bless you, and take care

<i>"We are waiting for your report, austinp...."</i> Virgin, you'll wait until hell freezes over. Read the chatlog again... I have it archived, too. Your posts came at 4:00am est and had nothing to do with trading inside the room when everyone was there. No one else was in but you. Nice...

<i>"Bro, if you ain't a politician, you oughtta be."</i> If I had posted my thoughts yesterday noon, it would have been a different story. My morning ES trades went -2, -1 and 0 when the sequence should have been -1, +4, +4 and 0 instead. Part of that difference in results came from fumbling...

<i>"austinp made 3 losing trades in a row, Virgin was a total NO-SHOW after the Opening Bell. In my book, austinp wins hands-down. I doubt we'll be seeing Virgin around here under the same alias anymore, at least for his sake, I hope not. But all-in-all, it was fun for a few minutes...
