Why would I respond to a rouge moderator attacking members of this site? That guy needs his badge taken away rather than a response.

1) I didn't see it as much of an "attack" but that's a matter of opinion

2) Mods are allowed opinions last time I checked

3) I'm not a moderator and you still haven't answered or at least addressed my question.
 
Honestly, I don't eat much Italian food out. I try and limit carbs, and pasta is just so good :D

I haven't been to any new burger places, although I've gotten strong recommendations to go get the lamb burger at The Breslin. Supposed to be fantastic.

Planning on little italy saturday night--- what would be your advice for a mid range place? In addition, what's the latest on burger places I should know about?

Very good points Cornix, and ones most people usually just brush aside.

Quote from cornix:

Yes of course, but subliminally it programs one for a struggle, competition with the market. Not a good position for a trader, hence the market is so much stronger and is beyond our control almost completely.

I would suggest using constructive terms when talking about trading. It may be surprising for people how such a simple shift in expression may actually change their thinking and eventually results.

Allright, ok--- we have added 5 contracts SHORT at 14335 in preparation for the lucifuge elevator into the abyss, coming soon to a stock near you.

holding,

man, you're short the index again? i really don't get where you derive your sell signals. here at my desk all the research we get point in the other direction. it looks like you're trying to time the reversal and, as you know, that's kind of dangerous. are you going to add to your short, while hoping the markets graciously go your way?

It's only up 74 at the moment, smurf sits through bigger paper losses than that all the time. :)
 
Yee of little faith--- in order to catch the huge waves, you need to ride the swells. I'm a speculator in the livermorian spirit-- using technology to gauge subtle shifts that prelude a trend change.
 
Bit of a milestone today, the newbie that I mentioned had his first 5 figure day. Not bad considering just over a month back he opened his account with $10K and today he made more than that. But he only traded half the day today, guess he's tired making money. He's well on the way to making over $1,000,000 this year from a $10K initial investment and all using TA.

No Price Drivers and no fundamentals. Just reading what TA says will come next. No averaging in or out of positions. Tight stops and no hoping a trade will come good.

Wiling to have it all audited by a top 5 accounting firm that surf can chose, provided he gets his PD performance audited too. Not that long back this guy didn't know what TA was and now, by sticking to the rules of good TA, he's a winner.

$10,000 into a 1,000,000 profit is 10,000% in a year. Now how will PD's measure up to real TA with verified single broker statements? Umpteen times surf challenged TA'ers to take the combine and couldn't believe how costly 2 weeks paper trading is to a real trader. He made loads of challenges for TA'ers to give proof and rejoiced that no one was wiling to show up. Well now I've come knocking on his door and only because I was asked to show the evidence and take the challenge. All I ask is fair play, surf's PD's audited against my rookie's. It's real money being played here, not sim trading.

Simply not true. At $5 per round turn getting out when it stops moving in your favor and reentering when it resumes is both cheap and smart.

Not from what I've seen. It's my understanding that if he bought a stock and the offer was immediately refreshed, he'd dump it and then sell short. The exact opposite of hoping/what you do.
