Surf Report

[itspossible]

Well, you do seem to have some experience in the financial markets, which is a lot more than most on here can say.

I had a quick look on amazon at the book outline, and, to be honest, I did not think it was anything special, but I will look closer and comment in more detail. There appears to be a lot of the "same old stuff" in the bits I saw, such as "greed and fear", etc, etc.

As you are well aware, there are many different types of algorithms used by many different groups, and the original HFT boys seem to be a thing of the past now, but please do correct me with links to prove otherwise if available?

I will agree with one thing you mentioned so far, and that is that very short term trading for the ordinary person in the street really is a fools game. However, holding on to positions for too long has, and will continue, to wipe out many trading accounts. Of course, the mere fact that a trader is over exposed shows that he really knows very little about making money trading, which is very common indeed.

Wtf you should post that magic beans book that you always talk about.

To be honest, it would not make much difference for most, as most of you are too young and full of testosterone. When you can ignore women and drink, then you can seriously think about making some money trading. Those little round things between your legs can cost you an awful lot of money, in more ways than one

She is making stuff up. Could be my ex-wife trying to discredit me. Who knows??

The funniest thing is, when marketsurfer was banned, Xela and I were internet friends when i was with a different avatar name. . Strange, aye? Marketsurfer really sets her off!!

Maybe you could go back to the old avatar and woo her back into the fold??

Impressive resume.

Yes, but not let's forget that David is a salesman, and as such, will do his utmost to sell, which is of course just business. What will be interesting is to see if he really has picked up and gems over the years that he can share, as you will find that anything that is really worthwhile is not easily shared, for "obvious" reasons

Aye. Strange.

I have no idea who you were.

I admit I'm surprised ... especially to see you admitting publicly to such deceptive behaviour, when you're a vendor ... but "it is what it is".

Ignore women? Why? I'm confused.

wtfauoa, this is one of the stupidest things you have ever posted here. Why don't you mark your twigs and berries on a live chart, with "entries and exits" on the ES, so we can be sure you are real?

You know, there are people here trying to make money for a living here. All your banter is just retarded at this point. You insult the people trying to do this for real. Man.

Actually I've seen him post way dumber stuff to be fair.

If there was a choice between like and dislike here, I'd have clicked it on this post of yours algo. You can't be fair with wtf, because he is stupid. But he does post smart things on rare occasion. Yet you should not empower him. So you should not respond to him? Wow, what a logic fail this is on my part! Turns out I am the stupid one! WTF!

lol!

 

[marketsurfer]

Aye. Strange.

No deception, i have multiple friends on this site-- most don't post and they knew who I was and I posted for them. In fact, I made no effort to hide my identity for anyone.

Make no mistake, i know you are clever and smart, which i respect-- but am surprised you are not addressing the deleted post allegation.

With that said, ill be pleased to apologize for calling you out if you can advise of the deleted post.

As you say,res ipsa loquitur
