Quitting E-mini Trading

Originally posted by OldTrader


Impossible, eh? Random? Amazing, how people who can't seem to trade ALWAYS come to this conclusion. You and the professors that all believe in the random walk.

What you did was you discovered some of the MANY ways to trade that do not work. You figured that all you had to do was spend a little on some software package that had the same indicators that everyone else has access to, and the road to riches was insured.

Perhaps you assumed that you didn't have to THINK? Your competitors after all are some the brightest people on earth. Do you really think you're going to beat them at their own game with MACD and a few thousand in your day trading account? LOL!

Regardless, short term trading is not easy. If it were, everyone would be doing it. And let me assure you of one other thing....swing trading for a couple of days is not any easier.

+25.75 points today to finish off a 65-pt week. Guess I'll go back to playing the lottery since this was random.

I made 38.25 today, and I quit at 3:15
 
Sarasota,

Every time I read ET I always see a post of you claiming to make a very high point game for the day. Would it be possible if you start a journal or open a thread and teach us traders what your edge is.

Or perhaps call some trades realtime during the day... because your performance is a bit difficult to believe. But I give you the benefit of the doubt.

I just think its useless for someone to nonchalantly claim how much points they made w/o showing how they did it. It serves no purpose to readers except inflating one's ego.

Please goto the thread "The big buck is made in the long term!"

We discussed this issue of daytrading vs position/swing trading elaborately.

You mean I can't make money trading e-minis? I just told everyone in my family that I'm going to be a millionare one day. Damn it, I've been lied to by a lot of people on here! I just got a new LCD flat-screen monitor, too! I guess the only thing I'm going to do with it now is watch porno clips. (This LCD monitor beats the crap out of an old CRT anyday of the week.)

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! I'm going to have to get a real job now -- or keep the shitty one that I have. This absolutely SUCKS.

Well, you sure as hell have not begun to trade Futures yet...
 
P.S.

You had better keep up the frivolous, sophomoric posts. Otherwise, you have no hope of ever overtaking Don! I am waiting on pins and needles for the day you begin trading. I will need a ticker to keep up with your posts.
