Heh -- pure genius.

Without a doubt. Your whole list is in reverse order. Take 3 (Chopper) first, then 2 (the internship), with the floor bringing up the rear. It hasn't been relevant for 10 years. Honestly, it's amazing that it's still around at all. Be prepared to really work, though -- your toughest...

"...I can see myself over time getting good at it." What leads you to this conclusion?

Is having a 100% risk of ruin important to you? Because that's what you have long-term with any Martingale strategy.

Heh -- nope. It's the only thing any of us really has to do.

Bingo. I have three other people in my circle of family and friends fighting cancer. I say fighting in the present tense, because they all repudiated natural remedies in favor of modern medicine. In contrast with my mother-in-law, who lasted 9 months after diagnosis, the remaining three are...

My mother-in-law tried your buddy's plan with cancer. She's dead.

What does that have to do with John Paulson?

Sounds like a good argument for a different trading style. Trying to scalp manually against HFT bots sounds catastrophic enough anyway.

If you're a scalper your catastrophic event protection is the same as your "Damn -- this thing is a loser" protection. You get the hell out.

The point is that it's not credible. Tell me, what do you do with people you work with who propose "solutions" that either solve nothing or only nibble at the problem?

Shocker that a self-confessed old guy wants to get rid of the Department of Education -- a piss in the ocean -- but makes no mention of cuts to Defense, Social Security, Medicare, or Medcaid. I give Rand no credit at all -- his proposals don't go far enough, and don't go after the real money...

From the presumed job description posted by the OP: So how's your knowledge of northwest region pipelines and the local distribution companies? That'll tell you your odds of being hired. And I don't know how to say this without sounding like a dick, so I'll just say it: you're willing to...

John Bollinger will be surprised to read this...

Yep -- there's a ton of space available if you just do a little looking. I doubt you'll need to make many calls...

I can see why you wouldn't have taken this one. If the strategy is based on continuation of the prevailing trend, the pin bar two bars back never gave you an entry signal. No breakdown through the low of that bar. The previous one, though, dated near the 1st of December and located just after...

CQG charts traditional two-instrument spreads as well as multi-legged spreads like a champ.

The harsh reality is that what you are trying to do is nearly impossible. If what you really want is success trading then you'll make the changes necessary to improve your odds of achieving it.

It may sound like ages, but it isn't -- not in the grand scheme of things. In the meantime, you should think about working evenings or weekends while you trade. Even a little money can make a big difference in the early going, and every penny you take from another source is one that remains in...

Looks to me like those dumbass rednecks are sometimes pretty smart. To the OP -- money is pretty easy to find if what you're doing actually works, but -- as someone else already noted -- nobody with any sense at all will touch a trader who just turned the corner a few months ago and...
