Hey Buzz,
You make good calls and obviously know what you are doing - I hope you keep doing the room - I know I will hang out sometimes if ya do....I had 3 nice hits for the day on my own, the last 2 trades I called in the room but after a 20 tick YM long I got whacked on that last long call on the ER late in the day...ugh - can't win 'em all...
Anyway its nice to see what you and others are thinking. Respect and keep it going -

Thank you for you kind words...
I give some advice to two traders in the chat room after hours. about over trading such as YM, ES ER2 is definitely markets where overtrading can be a temptation.
One trader told me, he has blown his account a few times, although he has well over 5 years experience. I wont mentioned no names. I ask him how many times did he trade a day, he told me up to 15 R/T a day. I said that was part of you trouble. If you buy at market which most do on futures. on 15 R/T a day, he would need to make 30 YM points just to cover the cost of trading, not a lot of traders know this. let me give you guys an example Based on $5 R/T
bid offer
You buy the offer at.. .12024 / 12025
Market moves, 1 point 12025 / 12026
Market moves 1 points 12026 / 12027.
See the market needs to move 2 points just to breakeven. so if you are trading 15 R/T a day. you need to make 30 points just to cover trading cost,
Professional PRO traders I know tend to specialize in one pattern and one market.
I thought I post it here also, to help others..
