Hey KC, mofo has the Pitfall Patch. A natural born day trader. WTF?
Sarge, grab a SOXL and a SQQQ etf chart, a mnq chart and throw a few dozen shortshortterm miniscule trades at the wall during volitility and see if anything sticks. Given your screen time, the big eye for detail, it's just a giant Pitfall game without the swing. You'd have to screw up a lot of trades to blow a hundred$ with a dozen 'dip the toe' trades. Ya simply can't lose them all and not come up with a system, lol. Time's a wastin.

I was going to post a fun little thing where you reminded me about my old mentor, where he had that same accent when he talked about HG, COPPAH. But when I hit my reply button, you had edited the post and taken out the HG coppah part...
Why do you do this, mon? I can handle talk about coppah. My mentor had HG charts up on his screen often. I have not studied precious metals for years, but i know about HG coppah. You do not have to pull any punches for my sake, man.
What I can't stand though is this room I am in, with you asking me all these questions...
Some things never change.
I remember buying one game from Activision that I completely mastered in one night. I can't remember what it was, though. Unlike the Atari games, which continually got faster and more chaotic (Spacer Invaders, Pacman, etc.) it just stayed at the same level. It was difficult at first but by around 12:30 AM I basically couldn't lose.
Sarge, did I mention 'eye for detail"?
I pulled the HG idea because it is a leetle bit steep for startup day trade getting the nose wet.
OTOH, a guy could buy ten shares of SQQQ, or SOXL, or one MNQ according to your inclination on a 5min or below chart and put a tight stop on it and rinse repeat a dozen times (this week especially, see economic calendar) and by the end of a dozen a few things will happen naturally. First you will hone your mechanical chops for the physical mouse click process of smoothly and accurately entering and exiting trades. Second you may find certain entries, times, techniques are more reliable this week than others. Third, you may end up making a few dinero.
you probably bought a lot more. I think they own a bunch of studios.
Nah, my video game purchases ended after that. I stopped playing when the controls started having like 10 buttons and 3 knobs (instead of a simple joystick). I played a good bit on the original Nintendos that my friends owned, but never bought one myself. It ended after that.
I remember playing their Alpine Skiing game at my friend's house back in 1982. I think that was for the Atari 2600 system since I only had the original Atari 1300 system. I think Phoenix & Missile Command were the best games on the original Atari.
I think there was a company called Colecovision that made games for them and even made a 2600 clone where you could pause the game.
