Quote from Thunderdog:

And this from a professional follower: there's Jack Hershey, whom you adore, then there is that woman trader you said was really good at training people, and so you delighted us with a link to her web site, and so on and so forth ad infinitum.

... hey man, this is just between you and me, leave Jack out of it.

... as far as Cynthia Kase is concerned, I thought traders would want to read/learn about other traders ... especially when they are successful.

The relationship between the risk management algorithm, number of contracts traded and performance bond is inverse, the relationship between the number of contracts traded and performance bond, though direct, is asymmetrical.

I think the market is basing and trying to find a short-term bottom.

Any trader who guarantees something is a trader to fade.
