How come I see Futures response with quotes as to which responder he is answering, but I don't see the original posts from those people? Not a critical question, just curious.

Not today, I didn't. I have now traded exactly 62 times as of this timestamp because of this recent ES rally.

Thanks for the laugh. ET should be one huge chat room.

I deleted the post because I felt foolish.

OK, thanks, thought maybe I had somehow blocked some nicknames and didn't know it.

The art is not to trade as much as possible.
The art is to trade just what is necessary and make good money.

The first style impresses the newbies; the second style impresses the pro's.

I thought it was fanciful sayings that impressed newbies?

The goal here is to make money. Who cares how it is done?

I prefer trading relaxed, take two or three big moves instead of jumping in and out 100 times and taking ticks each time.

I can read the newspapers every day, also when the markets or not asleep.

It does matter to me how i make money. The quality of my life while trading (thousands of hours in a lifetime) is important to me.
