You make it sound heroic to post trades. Another poster referred to "guts" being required to do so. The only thing posting trades conveys is a desire for attention. It does not make the trade or his handling of it any more important or heroic. And since you brought it up, I would be curious to know what kind of size marketsurfer is trading so loosely and with such abandon. Before we can "admire" his ability to stand so much heat and double up at a point beyond his initial protective stop, it would add much needed perspective to know what percentage of his trading capital he is committing to these more than occasionally unfortunate trades.

if i'm seeking attention, then what does that say about you, who follows me everywhere, reading deeply into every utterance and commenting with paragraphs upon paragraphs?

your understanding of integrity is sooo off, its not even funny.

4 trades live right now--- about 40% of total capital at risk at any one time, which is about my max.

By the way, what is the leverage that you use on a starting position with the YM?

im not 100% sure what you mean.... my broker requires margin of 2813.00 per YM contract for overnight holds. 10 contracts = 28130.00 and so on. day trading is 500.00 per contract. not sure what you mean by leverage in this regard.

"Racist?" Do tell.

As for your "utterances," shouldn't you be flattered that someone is actually reading what you write rather than just praising you indiscriminately? Or are you only in the market for sycophants? You see, when I do read your posts, I really do read them. So, you may wish to be a bit more careful about what you write. If you read enough of my posts, you will see that I do not, in fact, follow you everywhere. But when I see a "kick me" sign on someone's back, notably yours, well...I only have so much self-control...

As for my laughable understanding of integrity, you may wish to take it up with those silly people who write dictionaries.

Back to the "racist" reference. Please explain.

P.S. The post you refer to was not even addressed to you. And yet, you took such umbrage. Fascinating.

doubling up in Crox shorts here @59.30 bringing average entry to 54.15. this is a dog with fleas.

When crox hits $65, will you double up again or just stand pat ?

...Sitting on my "thrown," Anna? It must be tough being from another country.:D

I think we should work on your table manners before we finalize our dinner plans.



Throne, I'm sure someone as bright as yourself can figure that out without poking holes.. and yes, English is actually my 3rd language. Take your time; I understand the dollar menu has a lot of options nowadays.

Yes, I know what you meant. But surely you can let me have my fun. I have so little of it these days. And just so you know, English is also my third language. (Unfortunately, I forgot my second one some years after I came to Canada as a child.)

Quote from marketsurfer:

not sure what you mean by leverage in this regard.

Not the margin, but how many dollars per contract. Let's say if you use 1 contract for each 10K or so. (in this case the leverage expressed in the usual terms would be 1:7, since the value of the contract is around 70K)

With futures the P&L is one thing but what really determines the outcome is the leverage used.... If you don't overleverage you can withstand signifficant DDs....
