Im afraid this infirngement almost certainly rules you out from the valet job. I like my staff to be beyond reproach.

Good luck looking for a new career. You know, trading isn't for everyone so dont feel bad.

Thats ok, don't feel bad, you can't afford me anyway

Sorry, I was under the impression, having read your journal that you had decided to quit after a succession of bad trades? Quite a few stinkers in there.

Hope I didnt offend

p.s my offer still stands (includes a rather fetching red uniform)

I trade the ER periodically. It seems to move quite well. I look at bonds, dow30 (Ticki) to get some idea of where it might head. I noticed your comment regarding an ER trade where you were looking to bonds for guidance as well? Hope you have a great day. Good luck, Steve46

Jesus! What a horrible day! could be time to consider another career eh? If you are interested, I am looking for a car parking valet at a restaurant i own. Let me know.

Where is your restaurant located and what is its name. I am looking for a part time valet parking job.

With your pushy attitude and demanding nature, I wouldn't give you a job in the restroom. Peasant.

I look at everything for guidance. I find correlations and trade what I see at the moment. The markets have some kind of correlation about 90% of the time between indices, bonds and currencies. I exploit these correlations on the very small timeframes.
