I'm waiting until end of March to see if it's still on. I'll see you there if it is and if you go. This will be my last post to this site, so drop me a PM if you will be in Vegas. We can meetup.

To my contacts and friends: As of today, I will no longer be responding in the message board. You can still reach me via PM (for now) or email. Cheers.

Recovering from a chess hangover. Played about 5 hours of almost nonstop blitz (5m) games last night with a group of fish - OD'd on lattes and girl scout cookies and didn't lose a single game. They kept repeating their dubious pet lines over and over and by the end of the night I was practically...

It's a long list of threads but I don't recognize a single one that I've archived over the years. None relate to Hershey's contributions on this site. No matter, I'm glad you like the thread I linked to. It is one of my all-time favorites - I call it the "tutu" thread - and it was a...

ET threads worth archiving. The REAL ET Hall of Fame (according to moi). I'll add to the list from time to time as I review my archives. The Stochastic Indicator http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?t=14129 Support and Resistance Question http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?t=32595

Remember, kids, there's nothing to it: The trend is your friend until it ends. Yippee! Now everyone can be rich.

I'm gearing up for another tournament soon. Still working to revamp my black repertoire versus 1 e4 from the French to the Sicilian and add the QGD versus 1 d4. I had prepared A40 versus 1 d4 for the last tournament and I won a nice game with it in the final round but I don't trust it 100%. I'm...

Suboptimal market conditions are what we have to deal with for now. I don't like extending the trading session beyond RTH and if it wasn't the beginning of the week, I probably would not. What I do tonight cuts into what I can do tomorrow morning. But I don't control the timing of things. I got...

The unscheduled event occurred while the market was closed over the weekend. This is just the mop up. The indices were in a lateral all freakin' day and set up for a BO of the FTP after hours. Sometimes the sitting and waiting is the hardest part.

Does anyone recall where the ES closed on the one-year anniversary of 9/11 ? It closed at exactly 911. I saved a screenshot of the ticker which is in my archives somewhere.

Not a surprise that my last post on this thread didn't survive. The powers that be here find it acceptable for one of ET's sacred cows to tweak a guy who is discovered to have solicited others for $10K email training, but it's unacceptable to tweak the sacred cow who also scrounges for...

How can this thread be among the all-time best? I never understood people who extol trading as a replacement for some kind of wage-earning job that pays their bills. I admit that my inability to connect with such people sometimes leads me to question whether or not they know what they're...

Hi Jack, I'm very glad to see you posting. I share your viewpoint that unlike chess trading is not competitive at the level of my participation. My participation in the market is with a complete set of rules because the set includes the rule to SIDELINE when I find the situation unclear. In...

The market structure changed. By 2001 I saw the writing on the wall and looked at my options: (a) go back into the workforce; (b) join a prop firm and retool; or (c) transition to futures. I chose (c) and it was very rough. Had I not had the reserves to reload (more than once), I would have been...

I can relate to that, as I'm always mistaken to be younger. But damn I've gotten a lot of gray hair lately. Anyway, check out my journal. I've posted some documents dissecting the flash crash that give a glimpse behind the curtain, so to speak.
