Guys, this place is a sty. It reminds me of the old yahoo message boards. You don't want what I want, to create friendships to build eachother up for the future, you want to just act like kids to see who can bully the most people. This is a trader forum, supposedly for professional traders, not...

Now is Now: Calm down, newbie, no coronaries allowed until you have made it to post #25. Sorry you cannot figure out the difference between live/cash and sim/papertrading. You might get it after leaving your free simulator and funding your account. To most adults in the world, cash means...

Now is Now, I trade cash. Think I will just post my record for awhile and ignore people not into constructive criticism and sharing about their own progress. Happy trading!

AdvancedTrade, yes I backtested the system over a number of years, but most importantly over the last four contract cycles. Congratulations on coding your own system - not easy! Gargantuo, sounds like my system happens to match your scalping definition, with exception for larger profit...

MIT orders, as already described, are used only for adds and, depending on the speed of the market, are usually filled 1 pt away from the last print. Not every trade gets an add. And, adds do not have a 7 pt profit target. I have answered your questions as nicely as possible, but your...

osorico, I define my scalping as short-term moves of 5 seconds to 5 minutes. Others have their own definition. Some call it short-term intraday trading. OK. Not sure where you get the 50/50 probability, that is not my experience and is contradictory to my profit record. If you are talking about...

sandygray66, between 1 and 20 cars on initial entry; An equal number of cars for adds, if there is an add on that trade. The trade results are based upon an initial entry and, sometimes, an add. If you see an add in the results, that means up to 40 cars are live. Justin222, the list of...

I trade between 1 and 40 cars per trade including adds, depending on my system's recommendation. I never go all-in, I always go all-out, since I sometimes scale in but never scale out. The + numbers under each day represent the profit (or loss) from each trade, so usually three or four trades...

You can't do it. It's never been done. You're just another ET loser. You're a pie-in-the-sky whiner who sends weekly wires to his broker. You'll blow out your account in a week and go back to flipping burgers. Bwahahahhahahah!!! (end of sarcasm) Yes, I dare you. Sounds like you have the burn...

I should add that the goal of this thread is to make friends with other profitable traders who are halfway or more toward early retirement, and this is a test to see what sort of constructive criticism and support I get from veteran and novice YM/ER2 traders alike. We all have down days. I...

<b>I am a scalper</b>. I looked for a cool logo for the word 'scalper' and all I found were Indians, so if you know of one, please share a link. Pacific Time is valid for all trades unless otherwise noted. Limit orders for entry, stop and exit, MIT orders for add orders. Hard exits trail in as...

>>Earth to PersistentTradr, 3% weekly on a consistent basis is unrealistic and (I'm not even going out on a limb here) impossible.>> deviltrader, I don't mean to be rude, but I bring home an average of 100% per week and have over the last 35 months. No doubt that compounding forever is...

I use only one indicator with one combination of settings and I will never give it up. :D

That is why I wrote about the limitations of his investment vehicle. The number of contracts traded is limiting factor, at least in futures.

nimble, Why do you distrust your system?

>>Moscow is the place for girls. They fuck you twice a day>> How would a girl fuck him? I don't think he is into kink. I've had Moscovite and it was cold. Nice to look at but not really memorable in action.

Nimble, Great to hear that your discipline is improving. You are not AS tempted to close a premature profit or to get out of a seeming losing trade. oraclewizard77 made a great suggestion on page 10 and I hope you caught it. whitster also gave good advise on page 11. You are still...

>>what happens when that 1 or 2 months profit is enough to retire you and your broker?>> I think this is unrealistic, due to limitations of trading instruments. In futures scalping (my game), a trader can only move so many contracts per trade, even with scaling in/out, and even the exchanges...
