We are still holding CL long-- the volatility should turn this one into profits-- one of these days. surf

I saw your post but don't know what "it" is exactly. To me, this isn't clear. Even though I post intraday, I'm also trading so perhaps I missed a post that described what "it" is.

Quote from R. Raskolnikov:

Huh? What is the purpose?


I'm doing an article about it and want first hand experience.

I think its a great idea and may help save day trading from oblivion by opening it up to anyone who wants to give it a shot.

Steve Brechtel Interview; Trend Following Manifesto with Michael Covel
ReleasedSep 07, 2012

Michael Covel talks with trader Steve Brechtel. Over the past 20 years Brechtel has worked as a trader for three of the top 100 hedge funds in the world: Trout Trading (now Tewksbury Capital) in Chicago and Bermuda, Crabel Capital in Milwaukee, and now Two Sigma in NYC (a $10 billion fund) -- all short-term systematic funds. Considering the often secretive nature of hedge funds Brechtel's candid talk about Two Sigma required internal clearance from his company and is a rarity in the hedge fund world.

Dude, your screwing with me, right? Well, if not, the answer is the COMBINE and the new way of recruiting traders. surf

added to the position: sorry I can't post every entry--suffice to say, breaking even is close...

Ok gotcha. Been trading a long time on my own, I'm not familiar with recruiting and whatnot. I thought maybe "it" had something to do with TA trading

CL looking sweet today---

 

[R. Raskolnikov]

I think the silence speaks volumes.

Quote from Brass:

For the record, are you trading real money, or just play money as others have surmised, and whom you have not corrected?

That doesn't sound like a professional trader mind set to me.

Sounds more reminiscent of a newbie FX trader.

Is that why you want those forums eliminated, so you'll be the only one averaging down and hoping for a turn around?

Yes, it's light, and it's sweet, but never forget...it's very, very crude
