    Contradicting TA

    One of the most important things to learn in learning to do trading is suppression. Of the main principles, this is the last and least learned. In making money to extract the full offer of the market, some of the hold period is determined by NOT using data that does not apply at a given...

    Has ET reached the Tipping Point?

    You are correct. I thought about it and realized it was DH who said I was FOS. DH did the calculation as well. So I appologize to you for confusing you with DH. I also appologize for making the comment I did. I hope you complain and the moderator deletes my post. This does not mean...

    Has ET reached the Tipping Point?

    think back. when was the last time you tabbed up some performance criteria on the trades of another person. the anuual % was in the high 900's and you gave it one of those CW names. I rounded it to 1000 using significant figures. I can remember being called FOS since it only happens...

    Tired of the doom and gloom traders

    Your two posts really interest me. I couldn't ID with what you say. I travelled twice in SEP. A week or so in Hawaii island hopping. then I went to COLO to sit with 27 other traders to learn to program a platform expertly. before that I was trading alone or in an office with friends...

    Has ET reached the Tipping Point?

    Yes, you are disappointing. So is the OP. He classifies me as FOS because I posted the actual results of a beginning mentored stock trader. He calculated the beginner's actual annualized results and called me FOS. ET has been going astray for a long time. So steak is 1000% a year as a...

    Cooltraderdude's TopstepTrader Combine (daily trade report and journal)

    You made a good decision. There are a lot of trading methods. In time you may notice there are traders who face the losers in what you imagine as a negative sum game. The basis and criteria for your decision are erroneous, however. I am so risk adverse that I cannot tolerate any...

    Cooltraderdude's TopstepTrader Combine (daily trade report and journal)

    Here is a restatement of my post. An advanced beginner who makes 3 points a day (12 ticks) is seeking help. Mel makes more than the requirements of the combine gizmo to have a free account with 50K of capital. A talker is saying he will write about the combine once it is used and has a...

    create a plan

    As you have heard from posts to you, no one has a plan (except Donna). Donna also told you she did something before she had her plan. She developed a strategy and then, by her plan, she sweeps her life style costs and surpluses over her capital requirements. To becme a successful...

    Would This Scenario be Considered a Day Trade?

    It is usually better to chat with your broker. Also you need to read a basic book about the financial indusrty. Larry Harris is best and HTMMIS by WJO'N could be helpful, too.

    I would like to discuss averaging down

    to end your possible suspence: You didn't begin the thread with a dilemma. You do think the way you do. No one debates you on how you think we empathize and no more. Some of the great tring minds have written about each part you string together into your personal web. If you had read...

    Trading for a Living: Present & Future

    And so why are you asking me for things instead of doing your own work? Your yo-yo won't work if you tie a knot in the string.

    Trading for a Living: Present & Future

    I probably wasn't too clear. The cliff happened. Now, a great deal of artificial things are happening to prolong the status quo. In a short sentiment market people make money by having the margin to do short trading. The short opportunity may go away first by regulation. I trade 94%...

    Trading for a Living: Present & Future

    Economics and Econometrics uses a very slow fractal. My camtasias on the beginning of the Depression are dated JUN and JUL of 2006. In WJO'N's parlance a "climax run" (as usual) followed. That was point 1 of the Depression parallelogram. Mostly everyone got the point 2 straight. It...
