25 Years & $100 Million Profits... A to your Q's, Today Only

Quote from Gary Fox:

1. Of the current or past ET posters, who are/were your 2 or 3 favorite?

2. Is there any current of past ET poster that you think trades like you? Any published person via a book or magazine article trade like you?

3. If you were suddenly unable to trade due to particular circumstances, and your family and friends asked you to recommend someone to watch over and grow their assets, who would you recommend?


TIA

GF

Unfortunately I don't follow what's posted about trading too much... remember, I think trading convictions are too much like religion and always a difficult argument...

I don't know who trades like me.. but I don't do anything mysterious, just the basics.

I wouldn't like to single anyone out without asking them first.. but there are a few.

Gnome,

You've achieved a lot of success, obviously, so let's do this backwards.

What would you say are your weaknesses or areas that you would like to improve?


And then, what strengths do you feel that you possess that have been essential to your success?

First, I'm positive that the money I have is from "the losses I DIDN'T take". I think stop discipline is the #1 attribute of success.

My overwhelming weakness has been too low of a level of aggressiveness. However, you can't "protect capital at all costs" and be "aggressive" at the same time. Everyone has to find their balance. Mine is on the conservative side, for better or worse.
 
Happy new year to you gnome!

No questions here. Just hoping that close proximity to you here in this series of tubes rubs off a bit.
 
HI GNOME

thanks for taking the time to post.

how many positions do you have on average at one time ?

with that much money, do you divide a position in to blocks and slowly accumulate some shares over the day or or is liquidity not an issue?

If all of the things I've played over the years, none have had liquidity issues for my size.

I would only have 1 or 2 issues on at once... usually a mutual fund and a stock index futures, if 2.

Quote from gnome:

I posted one once. You can probably find it with ET Search.. basically 5 horizontal screens.

Immediately displayed at most times are Dow, SP cash, ES, Tick, NQ, Nasdaq and NDX... + data screen and trading apps.

This is a fantastic thread gnome, thank you.

A few questions.
1) is there a particular day of the week that is best/worst to trade?
2)What is your most effective reason/factor/signal for entering a trade.
3) Do you ever trade in front of important data?
4)How do you trade breaking news, if you already have a position.

Thanks.

<b>gnome</b>, I sure hope you broke little maksie from the lapdog thing early on. Otherwise I'm afraid you're in the same boat as me... clingy dog(s) landing on your lap right when markets begin to break a move.

Cozy den, adorable trading partner, way more than enough screens... what else can one ask for than that?

Excellent thread, from one of the best posters ever to grace this forum :)
