Holding YM shorts. Surf
Quote from marketsurfer:
FIxed plans and rules get decimated in the ever changing market--- one needs to be able to change as the market changes and never get hung up on ego things like "my plans" surf
Quote from Optional:
You don't have a plan.
You don't have a system.
You just need to be right and that's why you stink at trading.
You closed your short, and then reshorted 11 minutes later. Only a day trading self churning system would suggest that. No market change occurred. The only thing that occurred was your need to be right, and IN.
You need to go back to the drawing board and stop doing all of us the great favor of posting your trades. They aren't good.
Make fewer posts. Make more winning trades.
This is a strong correlary.
First rule - it's more important to win then it is to be right.
You prefer the latter than the former.
Quote from atticus:
E*Trade Institutional got surfer a fill AH on GOOG when the stock was halted. Pretty amazing. Magical in fact. He said so in ET chat, years ago. He didn't know about the halt and the fact that there was no trades within $10 of his purported fill. The curse of my eidetic memory.
You can't believe a word of what he states about trading. I am not outing him here. It's the ridiculous level of his hypocrisy.
Admit nothing. Deny everything. Demand proof, then refuse to accept it.
