Hang on, we've degenerated into a slanging match again. Come on guys, no-one benefits from this. To Wavetrader, listen man, I have no problem with you and have never flamed you (or anyone else) but let me explain to you how you come across in your posts. If you come here to help others...

Hi, thanks for the response. I've been trading ED for a couple of months at my prop firm. No-one I know really trades spreads, just try and get on the outright moves. I have CQG, Xtrader, etc so entry and exits are instant and news events and figures although dangerous are often huge...

Do you think that this strategy can be translated to a shorter timeframe, but based on the same principles. EG, holding trades for minutes-hours? Thanks

Hi Lefty, just to let you know that the market on your credability is trending right now. Can you just reiterate for me, what the size of your target/stops generally are? Can you state this in number of ticks as well please for an old bond futures trader like myself, as I pay little...

All the ancient society's were gay. Alexander the Great was lover to his friend Hephastion. The Samurai in Japan all screwed each other, as did The Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, etc. It was more of a cultural thing I believe. Women were seen as subservient and only useful for making and raising...

Hi BSAM, actually your name never came out of my mouth, but I did type it and having looked over the thread I think it was harsh to lump you in with the others. You weren't abusive, just provocative, and I do agree that Wavetrader does not help his cause by turning up and using words like idiot...

Yes thank you, one thing I do know after 3 years is what a tick is. I have hardly ever traded the ES although I do watch it and I'm aware of it's volatility. I have however traded Tnote, Bund, Bobl, Schatz, Eurodollar, Euribor, Gilt, Short Sterling, EuroStoxx, EUR/USD, and I would say that...

I haven't really posted on this board for a long time as 90% of what is discussed here is bullshit. Now and again I will search for the 10 that isn't though. This thread has compelled me to post though because I can't believe the frankly pathetic behaviour of some of the people on here. Why...

Now, now. You're being naughty aren't you? It's cruel to pick on the unfortunate. It's so sad that someone can live in such a delusional world of their own making. Amazing that he gets paid to read out what he doesn't understand and can't explain. Quote: "I don't think you should ever have a...

Apart from being responsible for the most amusing posts on this site, and c**ting me off in a previous post (titled "this is intolerable"), why do you never offer any serious advice to other users of the site? If you are as successful as you constantly claim, and you are a regular user of...

Christ I pissed my mum's nickers reading this thread. It sure made doing arse on Friday a more pleasurable experience as I was reading it at the time. What started as the most sarcastic thread ever on ET has morphed into something sublimely surreal. Hope it never ends......

Yeah Mark Douglas' book is a v. good one

A milk round! You must know what a milkman is. It's not the tooth fairy that leaves those pints on your doorstep you know! SJP, you are a diamond! I enjoy your posts, genuinely funny. I work at a trading firm as you do and I'm profitable every month (except when I'm screwing up non farm...

That last post was totally unhelpful. It isn't a competition as to who has lost the most. Also £1,500 is a lot more to someone with nothing than £150,000 is to a billionaire so the figures are irrelevant. Mate, 14 weeks is nothing, it really isn't I know people who traded for 9 months to a...

Cutten, yes that's what I mean. The way to see this is by using market profile. Have a look at the T-Note for today and you'll see what I mean. Regarding Euribor vs Schatz, I think the pro rata system is one of the contracts biggest strengths for a daytrader. Say there's 2000 lots on the...

It seems like a good strategy and I have both backtested it and tried it in real time trading. It's what gave me two, 50 tick winners in the Bund in the space of a fortnight last year. These two days were exceptionally volatile though and it is unworkable for me really as I have to close out...

Personally my method is to go in and lose money every day but for a fully explained successful method the only trading book I have read that gives this instead of vague trading rules is The Logical Trader - Mark Fisher. www.mfcc.com :)

Jesus, where to start? Firstly no-one said there were only two guys doing well, there are a lot of guys doing very nicely thank you, I just mentioned these two boys as I know them very well, and as they have both only been trading live for a year and I was highlighting the fact that you can get...

No didn't get the wrong side Okwon, was just a bit silly. The expected for the payroll was 150k but during the day some of the banks were revising their forecasts to 200-250k. Therefore I was expecting a really strong number. US unemployment came out first which I can't remember seeing before...
