lidlucking,
I know I came off as harsh but here is why. I enjoy reading ET in the evenings after a day of trading and just unwinding. It seems that whatever thread I go to there is Porgie spouting his system.
The funny part is a few threads down the road he is asking someone for help because he states himself he is having a bad day, week, whatever and losing money. A few threads later he is back to saying "I am now 85 of the last 85." He needs to be a more consistent liar.
As far as giving up his system, you have probably noticed that everytime he posts the 85 for 85 (or whatever BS stat he is currently going with) no one ever asks him for his system. Why, because people know he is a full of it. His post history speaks for itself.
I'm not sure if you were implying I wanted his system. I do not and have never wanted someone elses system. I will risk my capital with only my ideas and trading style that I have thoroughly tested myself. So please, don't suggest I want Porgie to help me, well maybe if I ever get in a position where I need to come up with a gigantic lie off the top of my head.

I believe Porgie is touching something everyday but I don't believe it is money.

For years I traded the big SP with 6 numbers on a sheet of paper.
The numbers arranged from lowest to highest were the high,low, and close for yesterday and the day before. I never saw a realtime chart before 1994. Just bid, ask, last, and change from prior close.
Only had paper charts that came in the mail on Thursday and then I had to update with the daily prices on the chart until the next Thursday. (My research desk, lol).
I have come into this thread late as it is disintergrating, but for what it is worth here are my thoughts.
Requirements to Intraday trade the ES
1...DOME
2... Bid/Offer strike volume at the price levels
3... Clock accurate to within 1 second
4... One pair of eyeballs
5... One brain open to the possiblity that
there is always room to improve
6... One notebook to record what the eyes observe and the brain assembles
And before you ask for my results, I dont change diapers.

I wonder what would happen if I were to claim that I could levitate?
For instance, I might suggest to you folks that I learned to levitate by leaping off a chair thus simulating levitation for brief periods of time. Perhaps I could suggest a method of prolonging the time I spent "in the air". I might be able to convince you that given the right circumstances, I could levitate for prolonged periods of time. Perhaps I could convince you that it had to do with mental discipline and that I could teach others to levitate by practicing a series of mental exercises.
Would you believe me? What would you need to convince yourself that I was able to levitate? Would it be a film of me levitating? How about a declaration signed by my mother? or my neighbor? my wife? my priest? or all of the above?
At what point would you folks be inclined to use your own common sense?
Good luck
Steve
