Durn y’all gotta be old!

Well I was sure it was you gonna write a book but I have been known to get mixed up! Nevertheless, write a book. It is good to write thoughts down.

Hey Laissez Faire did you ever write and publish your book? Seems like I remember a few years ago you were going to publish one on Amazon? Just wondering.

PS I don’t worry about pings.. unless it is ping pong. Good grief I ain’t scalping milliseconds or nano seconds. What do I need all that dreadful stuff for? But if I were going to do something about it it would be something along the order of that Ninja Mobile Trader VPS mentioned above.

I scalp, usually 1 to 8 points, in the ES. I do this off satellite that feeds a wireless router in house. I can sit anywhere in the house or yard and scalp. As a backup I have a hotspot device that runs off a cell phone tower. If my sat goes down I hook up my laptop to the hotspot. Yes, that is...

Before we can interpret volume we have to ask ourselves. 1) what does volume represent? 2) who creates volume? 3) why did they create it? 4) in what context was it created? Exploring those question may help one see and even come to sound conclusions as to why there are often discrepancies...

The charts are certainly after the fact. I can’t very well show or explain a non-existent chart can I? Most of the annotations on the charts are done as the trades are being executed or shortly afterwards. It does slow me down being able to execute more trades because I am typing up the last...

It was several trades all made between 9:48 and 11:04 All were 1 contract at a time. Buy one sell one. Sell one buy one. That sort of thing. Only one was 3 contracts in …three out. I guess I failed to explain that. Risk was small as volatility was not much. All trades but the one were for min...

Many traders will not trade PA like todays PA. They consider it chop. I traded from 9:48 a.m. to 11:04 A.M. Chicago time (just a tad over an hour). I bot 9 ES contracts and sold 9 ES contracts during that time period. I grossed $412.50 before commissions. I had to stop trading to work on my...

My post above #1467 started with the words “here are todays trades….” That is wrong, they are yesterdays trades i.e. 8-11. I started typing the thing up last night and didn’t finish until today 8-12. Just though I would clarify this.

Here are todays trades and some thoughts as the session was unfolding. The chart is from a 24hr perspective chart and has the trades marked on it. I was gonna post a RTH's chart too of the same PA but it is gonna make me have too much stuff to type. Since I peck when typing it takes too long...

Just left the Texas de Brazil. It was excelente! I have never ate so many different cuts of meat at one setting. Reminds me of eating in Argentina. I am stuffed. Hope I can crawl my carcass out of bed for trading tomorrow!

Sounds good.

I did take 3 trades this morning. All winners. Small trades in MES. Many traders have small accounts so maybe this can help them see the possibilities out there. Not saying anything is guaranteed as a trader can lose all their money trading futures and these examples in no way are advice for...

Ok

I have been having too many of those moments myself lately!

Good. Glad things are doing better. I have a question. That concoction you told me to mix up for tomatoes. Will that powdered milk bring the ants out of hiding? They love to pillage my okra blossoms. I considered putting the concoction around the okra plants but if ants will multiply…I don’t...

I have been to many steakhouses but never the Texas de Brazil. My first trip there. I will eat a very late and light breakfast tomorrow that will also double as a lunch …in preparation for the evening meal! Thanks for the advice!

I may not post any charts tomorrow. I have been invited with the wife to eat the evening meal at a Brazilian Steakhouse…Texas de Brazil. The folks who invited us just happened to catch us in a receptive mood! The folks are not money people and the restaurant is pricey for the evening meal but it...

I am a discretionary manual trader trader. Nothing automated here.
