Saliva how you make money averaging in all the time on losing positions is beyond me. Man when you're wrong it must hurt bad

I'm sure he wouldn't mind making a higher % return than you in whatever time frame you are interested in. Shoot him a PM.

RC, the problem is that this bunch here has a put up or shut up mentality. Saliva has been trading longer than most here and to have someone (whether credible or not) come and give advice to someone posting their trades day in and day out isn't going to get a good response. If you want respect for your opinions then earn it.

If you have been around a while you know that everyone on this board is a million dollar trader and drives a Ferrari. Its easy to get respect though if you are credible.
 
Quote from Roman Candle:

To keep from having to deal with the consequences of bad trading decisions (or indecision), some traders will put off placing the trade all together. Others will go as far as holding a losing position, hoping the market will turn in their favor to prove their judgments right.

Why do we have such a hard time accepting criticism? For one, criticism has negative connotations, usually associated with poor performance, doing something wrong, or not being sufficient enough in the task at hand. Most people, traders included, don't take well with negative feedback or comments. Some of the psychological aspects of the way we now deal with criticism are deeply rooted in our past, from experiences with our parents and school teachers. They were in the position to correct us and tell us when we were wrong, and some were more extreme than we liked with their criticism. They definitely had a psychological impact on us was there, with many of us now transferring those experiences to our trading.

All he's saying is post your own trades or get the fk out of here.. cause right now you're just someone who writes (albeit eloquently) about fuzzy abstracts and always in hindsight..
 
Sal,

I'm sure many silent followers of this journal will agree with me when I say keep up the good work. You (and other contributors) put your money where your mouth is and jump when the water gets hot. RC has made some good calls, and some bad ones, but to come here and preach to the warriors is uncalled for.

RC, if you really feel like you have something to offer Sal, why not shoot him a PM with some constructive wording. It appears that you have some intelligent messages to offer, but your public delivery is atrocious.
 
I have posted some trades here and with a screenshot showing the trades before they were executed, see page 10699. I don’t see to many in this thread doing that. I am way to busy to post here all day, I have multiple positions open, I find this place very amusing and come here for entertainment during slow periods.
 
Geh, was fearing a ramp up in the pm when the market didn't tank to the bottomless pits of hell by 1pm.

Little sheep like me placed a stop @ 932.50 out of fear of all things, and when it hit I got worried that I missed a train ride.

Then the churning was tempting me to get back in, but good thing that Apple conference kept me busy.

Re-entered short 1 contract @ 940, and still betting on the short side :eek:

The churning... Urgh

Oh, and a very quiet day on this board... and I miss ammo & wave
 
After 4 months of signallessness* (that is a word, gentlemen), Metastocktools has rapid fired a long and a short signals.

So right now we are on a longer term SHORT signal, B1S2, you can go short now.

*It still gave a buy signal for oil at $40 in February (now at 70) and another buy for gold at 880 (now pulling back from 1000)
 
OMG! It's practically trading at the breakeven level. Should I take the bait or not??

An idiot inside me is telling me to hold on. Mind you I have a high respect for this idiot of mine. :D
