<i>"AP just bugs the heck out of me with the constant Robbins World Cup crap. Hope you are doing well with your trading. Seems like a long time ago we talked in the Sim P&L thread. JIM</i> Constant? Define constant. I've said that here three - four times tops since April 2006. I hope your...

<i>"Aaaauggh! You've been saying the same crap for the last couple years now. Give it a rest. Yippie ki yay, cow poke!"</i> I'll be expecting you there beside us, Allen3. There is no doubt that anek trades... the only comments I had were concerning narrow-minded (and arrogant) dismissal of...

<i>AustinP, Ok big guy, let's see how good you are but first I will respond to a few of your allegations. Perhaps you should write about how I never had the need to charge anyone for guidance, not one soul and keep doing so on a daily basis. Yet you on the other hand, had to, or still do...

<i>"Ya, I get that all the time, used to it. Glad you made 55 bucks though Anek"</i> Easiest cure for that misconception in the world. Merely take another snapshot and widen to include time & sales execution of a few trades taken. No worries about disclosure of info, etc. Impossible for...

<i>"72.50 Was again the magic number at 7:57 EST, I was out so missed that particular trade. I hope some of you managed to take it."</i> That's fine... pro traders only need to catch one profitable swing most days, and keep net losses small otherwise. That said, what magic number trades have...

<i>"Is everyone having fun trading these screaming moves, blink and its over"</i> Another day, another +5pts ER single or cumulative trades. As it was yesterday, so it shall be most days each calendar month. Stop trying to trade every price wiggle, and learn to catch one - two chunks of...

<i>"*on a side note.... who trades er2 the most, other than small traders like us.... BIG FIRMS? do they use er2 as a hedge? if anyone know the answer to this question, i'd be grateful.."</i> Yes... big firms work the ER2 and IWM together. The YM is pretty much a retail trader's symbol...

<i>"Some traders do well in some markets while others do well in other market conditions. After 10 or so years you learn how to trade them all."</i> To pure intraday traders, all markets are the same. 18 or 19 out of 20 sessions per month offer at least one (if not several) directional swings...
