Done for the day.

<i>"Needed some advice on the best streaming chart in the industry to scalp 1-2 points per day on the minis for an average of 25-50 round turns per day?"</i> Which in turn will result in you blowing out a fifth $10,000 account in one year faster than the previous four $10Ks went dry. Try...

<i>"Speed can be a factor that produces fear due to the questions that are raised if the trader feels they have "missed the boat" in terms of best entry. This is why pulling the trigger when the signal is generated must be executed with utmost urgency (in a relaxed style, ofcourse)."</i> I...

<i>"Still waiting for proper example of independent trader who reached bolze success just by trading. There ain't any"</i> Actually, there are a number of them reading your words and laughing to themselves right now. But let's go with the pretense that you're right. Assume no one has ever...

<i>"I would speculate that after a minimum of one year of consistent profits where the trader uses the 1 min timeframe that it is possible for them to be completely eliminated (In terms of their capacity to influence your actions), as any pause for thought would reduce trading the 1 minute...

<i>"Now we have a bunch of people..."</i> Bunch of people? Hardly... just two of the biggest a**holes who ever polluted this little public message board, which is saying a lot so far as public message board traffic goes. Your threads are always entertaining and educational. Kindly put the...

<i>"I once smoked a whole ounce one day and saw God. . . "</i> Um, try that with some modern strains grown in the deep loam riverbottoms around here and you won't see anything but your shadow on Groundhog Day. You'll be in a coma from now until then :cool:

<i>"Just so no one can accuse me of only posting on the good days...."</i> Ditto. p*ss - poor performance here too. TF is back to trading normal volume and price movement... all systems go. Today was prepped for gap fill as usual, because we all know intraday gaps fill 75% of the time. Why...

<i>"It seems volume died down before xmas and just never recovered. It's making trading very difficult for me, and slippage is up."</i> TF volume faded in the holiday weeks of Dec and hasn't recovered yet. ES and NQ are trading normally... but TF volume is merely 1/2 its prior peak average...

yesterday (01/12) was about as easy a trading day in ES that we'll ever see. Textbook smooth trend lower, clean breaks all the way from open to close. Cannot ask for anything better than that. Unfortunately, I was flat on my back with an acute case of food posioning. For awhile, thought I'd...

Today I read a news headline where some prisoner on death row extracted his own eyeball and ate it. I did not click the link for details... enough information already. Can you imagine removing your own eyeball by force while fully awake, let alone swallowing it for good measure? What...

<i>"what happened to your supposed daily p/l postings?"</i> I've been out... back on Monday

<i>"No one other than a fellow trader can understand..."</i> Bingo. Communication between two parties exists purely for the sake of mutual understanding. Human beings are gregarious by nature. We are social animals. All social animals have advanced levels of communication versus solo animals...

<i>"Seriously, for a trader that is truly successful, why do they need or want the attention drawn to their success?"</i> Following that logic, why have any traders with some degree of success ever posted at any time, anything of relevance in ET? Why have the OP and numerous highly...

+510 TF ~ too many round turns OK... who turned the lights out on Russell 2000 futures? Instead of posting a blotter showing beer money, here's a picture that depicts why trading the TF is right now a one-contract venture at best. From Oct thru late Dec, daily volume averaged 200,000+...

<i>"OK, fair enough. Do you have any suggestions on what I might do next to pick up the knowledge and wisdom I need next to be successful with this? I'm trying to do my best to learn from others' successes and mistakes, and to be as efficient as I can with what is basically picking up a second...

<i>"If I optimize my system on the last 8 weeks of data once a week, if it exists I will choose the set that has at least 300 pips of profit a month and a drawdown (calculate how you want) of less than 24%. If there are multiple input sets that meet those criteria, I will choose the best one by...

Friday started out at +5pts TF, then chopped my way to 0pts thru the sideways range. Monday began with +7pts on the very first trade, then went down to +2.5pts before recovering to close at +4.1pts Tuesday, -1pt and +5pts for +4pts net off the bell. Then chopped, chunneled, spiked out...

<i>"A rigid systems trader..."</i> Key words... replace "rigid" with "fledgling" and that's what I meant. Before a systems trader experiences and survives the full gamut of emotional churn following computer bots, they will inevitably make all of the emotional mistakes involved. Most...

<i>http://www.nyhoneybee.com/index.html</i> This website of mine is framed out but incomplete, so pardon that part. It is hosted by Yahoo for $29.95 per month. If you have your own paypal account built into a simple sales page, the $29 monthly choice is sufficient. If you want full...
