Parfait. Merci.
I'm afraid I could miss another costume change and another character but I will just have to catch up in the morning. Kids are calling.
A bientot.
You have to go now LG?
It's cool, we can table this lesson for the next day.
Quote from Lao Tzu:
Miss Cassandra and Mr. Doke give part of truth. Rest of truth is trader must be inscrewtuble. Be like fantum in dark of night. Trade when none else trade. Hesitake to bring up volume, is such voluminas subject. Look where point turn. If is no volume, why does turn? Very curious!
Having been dead lo these twenty-four centuries, I suspect that my opinion doesn't count for much among ET's fast-drachma crowd, but I have never been shy about expressing it, even though inevitably it gets me into trouble.
So I must say that the general tenor, not to say baritone, of this thread disturbs me. It is Elite-ist (paradoxically) in the extreme. It implies that you cannot be a successful trader unless you are literate, witty, poetic, an international traveler, an analytical genius, and an all around bon vivant. This flies clearly in the face of the fact the preponderance (and I suppose as well, postponderance) of self-professed successful ET traders are barely literate dullish oafish dolts.
In my day (millenium, actually) we would have cried "Sopho-Moros!" (Not "Sappho-Moros!", though indeed that seems applicable here). Being quite dead, I have nothing much better to do that read most of ET every day. And I can tell you that to trade successfully you do not need to have a classical education, know foreign languages, be able to compose poetry in iambic pentameter, and be able to count above ten with your shoes on. So I encourage moderation to quash this thread forthwith, lest it corrupt the morals of the youth of ET with elitist notions!

I quite agree. Abstrusity should be employed abstemiously. To much leads only to extreme abulia, as we have seen quite embarrassingly recently on certain sub-culture threads here.
Though only a handfull of the cognoscenti here will understand our predicament, we endorse your encouragement of simplicity in trading. As recently orphaned llamingos who once were privileged to be in the presence of trading genius every day, we are struggling to regain our mastery of the index futures, and we need all the help we can get. We will be watching the progression of this thread with great interest. Many thanks, and if perchance you meet our former master, tell him we would like to hold him down and schtupp him until he bleats!
Tuffen up, butty boyz! Ma man Mudgie gwine lead botha yose tada Promise Lan a milk an munny!

Anna, my dear friend Mudgie is far too reserved ever to express the deep and abiding love he feels for you. But I must share with you that he is thrilled that you have been reunited with him over such a vast remove in time and place. He always called you "Meine gluckliche Anna", or affectionately, "Glucky." In remembrance of happy times so long ago and far away, please ponder the attached photograph which means so much to him. Your eyes peer out of it shiningly and into the ages to come. Know that he loves you now. And will forever.

Morning all.
First off, thanks to all the contributors to this thread. My my, 2004 must have been a great year at ET to have so many of you join all at once.
I owe Duref a response about letting trades run for minutes or days. I tried to put together a justifying explanation but got nowhere. Rather than debating this, let me just say that itâs time to give it up and day trade only for now. (Goodbye dearest gaps).
I also neglected to respond to DMâs comments about a job vs trading and gender specificity. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned to a friend that I was considering giving up trading and getting a job. She offered me one at her husbandâs company on the spot. Itâs a great job and still awaits if I want it. Soon I will have to decide. I take no offense in the suggestion that men make better traders. Iâm infinitely better at having babies. What I remember of the study that was discussed a few months back is that they make better SCALPERS. Iâll have to keep that in mind.
Next, I should confess that I know almost nothing of SCT and JHâs work, other than the concept of always being in the market. Should I start with the DAX Scalping thread?
Some of last nightâs visitors to the thread were a little cryptic. Initially I thought Cassandra was warning me about false shakeouts before breakouts. I read a thread back in early ET days where the author put a rectangle around any area of consolidation and felt that a false breakout preceded the actual breakout more often than not. But dear Duref âs comment about the 1 second chart led me to think that she was suggesting instead that I use limit orders at predetermined levels to get the best price. A buy order a predefined distance above an opening range perhaps?
Lao suggested that I be inscrewtuble (thereâs an off color joke in there somewhere) and to trade where no one else is trading. My understanding is that the volume of trades occur close to known s/r levels. Does this mean I should take the trade farther away from those s/r levels? Discover whether s/r holds or is broken down, sacrificing a little profit but avoiding being stopped out? The suggestion that volume is meaningful at a price turn is a surprise to me. I have watched volume spike up in order to push through a resistance level, but have not noticed the reverse. Perhaps I can discover what Lao is trying to show me by looking through some charts.
Worse luck with Thomas Jacksonâs message. âGit thar fustest with the mostestâ Buy volume breakouts?
Like a Greek Tragedy, some of the later posters (so good of you all to stop by), provided a little Comic Relief, no thinking required (just a great vocabulary or a dictionary). In the event that anyone is interested I understand that DID is primarily a North American disorder and may not be a valid medical disorder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_identity_disorder
