While you're getting him to answer questions, can you get him to answer this one?

Quote from marketsurfer:
The YM short position has been closed at a loss earlier.

Quote from Lucrum:
What with this being a journal and all, how many points loss was that one anyway?

I remind everyone that marketsurfer, unlike almost all of you, is posting live trades. Whether you believe them to be sim or cash is up to you, but nonetheless he is putting it on the line. Please keep on the topic of trading and avoid obsessing about personalities. As always, let's stay civil.

A number of snide, nasty comments have been removed, along with those who quoted them. I realize many can't resist piling on when the sarcasm is running thick and a trade is in the red but please show some of that fine trader discipline for which you spectators are so famous.

No, I meant spectators. As in those who sit on the sidelines and constantly critique others who have the courage to post calls. Those spectators who don't just offer advice, but DEMAND that others take their advice and get insulted when they don't. Yes, marketsurfer often makes provocative statements (ie, about TA traders) but he generally goes about his journal posting with a grace and kindness often missing from his detractors. I'm talking about the spectators who can't wait to pile on at the slightest hint of red ink. In any case, however you feel about the situation I want this journal to remain civil at all times. Thanks.

Dont really understand why all the disdain for this guy. Havent seen him do anything bad during my time on ET.

Look, if he is going to start multiple threads trashing TA traders while sneaking his website links until someone deletes them, then us TA traders have a right to post about his PD. That said I will give it a rest unless he starts polluting ET again with trash talking about TA.

Controlled by position sizing relative to account size rather than tied to intraday gyrations.
