You sure got that wrong. Here's the point:
"Wareco stated that the ES never traded below 1413.50. Never."

Come on, you can figure it out -
Simply a time zone problem, my original post should read 9:10-9:30 Eastern to assist those who struggle with the concept of differing time zones in the world.
This happens to be 10:10 to 10:30 in my time zone.
You posted 3 times (in my timezone):
05-01-07 10:24 PM
05-01-07 10:26 PM

So, my mistake. You were posting one hour before Oscar took his + 7 points in the S&P.
Damn I hate living in East Asia with this +13 hour time difference with NY!!!!!

Yes indeed, what I still don't understand is that he puts a trade out to take the night before, and then takes the entry or very close to it, but almost always exits before the target gets hit such as today.
Quote from arealpissedgoy:
There are some low lifes who are barely profitable, hanging onto their last pant threads, who think that if one more person "out there" becomes profitable, that's less "opportunity" for them. Outsized ego meets pea brain. I've met a few in my trading career. The last one was a geeky pimple faced college drop out who thought he was the reincarnation of Einstein. He blew up once his holy grail stopped working.
Quote from volente_00:
Where does he state that he can't make his mortgage ?
The fact that he remained there 25 years either means he had really deep pockets or he actually made money. You don't last long in the pit unless you can trade. My guess he was one of the many who was forced to leave the pit as electronic took over and he was not able to transition to the screen trading his own money. Maybe he suffers from " led paws syndrome " and can still make the calls but can't pull the trigger so he has resulted to the website. Borsellino was one of the greatest spoo traders of all time and even he now runs a paid website. What is oscar's true intent ? Only time will tell.

Good point!!! There was a discussion on oscars thread yesterday about this very subject. When oscar was exposed for waffling, he lost his cool and essentially called the poster a pig. What a class act!
