Well Guys it is 7 o'clock in the evening here in sunny NYC and I just woke up. I had stared at my screen since 7AM Tuesday morning until about 11 o'clock Wed morning. As you are probably aware I made a couple mistakes and had a large position when the markets closed on Tuesday. Since I absolutely cannot sleep when I am deep in red an my position is open, I stayed, posted and observed life through my internet connection. Those of you guys who supported me in my hour of need I salute you and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Those who had a good laugh at my expense and did not fully grasp my emotional hole and genuine sadness during those hours: I can only hope that you will never have to go through this kind of ordeal.
Once again thanks guys, I really appreciate the support and thanks for those messages of hope and support (you know who you are).
As I stated earlier, at around 11 o'clock I was too exhausted to trade and went to sleep. Smoking a pack and a half of Pall Malls without filter did not help me function much better either. Especially, since I am no longer a smoker,I paid a heavy price of inhaling so much of tar and nicotine throughout the night. So my trading day was not as productive as it could have been.
As for my system, I am well aware of the alleged mistakes that I make and they have all been pointed by JJ and other members on this and other threads. I actually appreciate, value, and prefer straight talk and in your face criticism. As a matter of fact this is why I am on this thread. I want to learn from you guys so anytime you want to slam me down, I have no problem with it whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I welcome it. So fire away and do not hold back.
Coming back to my system. Well... I tried doing what you guys are so good at and I failed miserably. So, after many trials and errors I was able to patch a system that is making me money on most days. I get ina lot of trouble when market moves like it did on Tue. other than that I clear at least 1k a day by 1PM. Some days I get 2K.I had about 7 days going over 5K and 2 going over 10K. Those were made by placing 5 contract per point as opposed to 1. So, Ithink I am successful so far. So far I had one day when I lost 15K and two days like yesterday when I was under over 10K. Both of those day I managed to get out even, that is on the first one I made a little bit and on the second I lost aout $300.
As for unorthodox way of making $$$$$ BoyBrutus provided an excellent post to a fella a.k.a. the flipper who is doing phenomenally well in a fashion that in not conventionalto say the least by trading standards. Here is a link, scroll down a little and read it for yourselves:

His style of trading violates at least several basic trading skills yet his account is fat. How do you like them apples Jimmy J.?
Cheers!
