I know I said I would only post once in David's journal, but .... He had asked me some time back about this forum as I read and post occasionally into it. Hey, it passes the time and entertaining at times. Once in a blue moon I will notice someone who is a good trader, but they never last but a few years cause of all the moronic lines of garbage is spewed at them. Way too many people who are sick SOB's here. Got nothing better to do cause they can't trade, rather to attack others. They certainly never think about helping people who are less fortunate or need a HELPING hand, but hey, this is America. Huge reason why foreigners rather kill us cause of our views, do as we say or we will bomb you. How soon
I had told David that extremely little good help is given off in traders forums. People who have the greatest number of posts in shortest amount of time, don't trade. Traders who trade and work hard at learning their craft have little time for immature people. But since he wanted to meet some of you, I said it be ok, but I would monitor. I already know this is a cesspool, but he has to be exposed to all ways of life eventually.
David had traded for two months prior to trading by himself, he was allowed to trade when I was on the phone with him, so he has already a very tidy sum. He only does one lots, I believe in very conservative $4,000 to trade one Emini anything.
I have had one instance this year where the cable and DSL both went out at same time, I can't throw rocks at Chicago to continue to trade. And I don't own 2 seats at same exchange. In process of buying a seat. Myself, I ave 8500 rt a day, and others half that.
LOL, I taught this Russell system to the kid, I specialize in ES. I think the TF, YM and MD are horrible for doing size for what I do, but ok for much smaller amounts. I have made over 20 methods for trading ES that produce profits, only game in town for me. I don't care much for Forex as all my experience is in S&P500/ES. And 5 or even 10 second delay to me is nothing, so what, I miss a couple trades and others I won't miss.
I am not religious, matter of fact I am against religions altogether, I don't believe God made them, humans made them to control people and collect money. I go to that church cause I like to hear the Pastor, I am an ex Catholic, all those fuckers know how to do in my youth was beat kids. BlueTurtle, you come out of the woodwork only now? Let's hear some of your words of wisdom on trading the market? When was the last time you ever helped other people out? You sit on your ass and judge cause that is all you know how to do, come on now, say something worthy !!!
And you worry, man I can see your future in crystal ball of the 95%ers.
EON Kid, I see you in a better light and applaud you, you do understand the cesspool, LOL. But even cesspools have a reason of being.
And thanks for posts and PMs of getting better, it was good I was heavy when I first got sick, have lost 135 pounds and still big guy. They say I have a few more treatments, maybe...
David has asked not to do the Journal any more, and that fine with me. I thank all that added to his journal, and will be printing it out for him so one day he could look back.
Toodles.
