Well, it looks like Padu is finally getting more than 4 hours Sleep, we haven't seen him for awhile.

Or maybe his wife hid all the mirrors. Imagine yourself as his wife looking at him admiring himself in the mirror for 20 hours a day. It's time to call a divorce lawyer. But then again, he has nothing. Better to call the suicide hotline instead. :D

How childish... tried to hide the account name.

This guy is beyond those who are beyond hopeless. Why even bother? He's just not well. He comes here because he wants the interaction.

better than P0box4 and geogii continuously admiring me
 
i agree that it was my mistake recommending Brooks and it is the others mistake that they deride him.

whatever makes you money do that.

i apologize for misdirecting you but i just found him damn good and damn confusing at the same time.

which is why i took some time in benefiting from his advice.

i did stay with longer than most would and that was my folly.

be that as it may i am not here to fool anyone and i have many friends here .

that is why i am here

That's not true.

Traders have to grow, learn, evolve. Everyone starts as a losing trader. That's just how the market works. You earn the right to make a profit, and that is done through focused work over a significant period of time.

The difference is between those who don't do what it takes to earn the right to succeed, deluding themselves for years at times, and those who are in the process of earning their stripes and are simply going through the natural process where failure is to be expected.

If you're in a position where you don't have to earn a living, you have a lot of time. And that means you can waste it however you choose. People who HAVE TO make a living can't afford to do that. They have to find solutions proactively, or admit defeat and move on.

I can tell just by the way you're writing about the markets and how you are writing in general - you are ALL OVER THE PLACE. You lack FOCUS. Without focus nothing can be accomplished.

You don't backtest. You just grasp at stuff. You throw out trading quotes just to keep the flow of the conversation. You even engage in self depreciating humor in order to elicit the 'oh no you're alright man, you just need to persist and you'll get there, we'll help you' response.

You are trading for an experience. Not to make money.

I'll admit this is a very difficult business because there are a lot of temptations, including from the world of vendors, and it takes a long time to cut through that if you weren't lucky to be one of the very few to either find a profitable trading mentor (who was good at teaching), or get a seat at a CTA. Such is life. Such is this endeavor.

But given the significant amount of time you spent on this and just the nature of the way you interact with people here, it's clear that it is the experience of 'trading' (which is not really trading, more like playing an online video game) that you crave, you are not engaged in focused deliberate practice. The result is predictable.

...It's like when @Overnight argues in the Mirror with himself, he's just practicing for the real arguments.

I believe Padu understands longer term trading SPY/SPX. He has spoken about it and what he's said briefly on that was certainly correct.

What the fuck are you on about? Why do you keep bringing my name up over and over again in threads I am barely involved in? Jesus Fucking Christ, your ON worship reversal has backfired on you. You go from adulating me, to trying to insult me at every corner, but is is painfully obvious you are still neurotically-obsessed with me.

Are you jealous that I trade live money, unlike padutrader? Yes, I am still in the Dec MYM trade long at 40999.

Darc, maybe it is time you, like I have been doing for years, to start trading live money and journal it, so you do not become another padu, blowing combine money every month, over and over again, because you want to be an Al Brooks hero?

FFS, dude.
 
i am now using trend lines and i am using them in the way Brooks said to use them.

everything that Brooks says .it takes a long time to understand what he says and some decide it is not worth the time.

That is their choice. some even make lot of time to deride him.

but now that i am using them as Brooks suggested-it is always a suggestion with Brooks, he never gives a formula- i am making money in asian session in ES. scalping of course. nothing wrong with scalping

but because you need a win rate of 70% just to break even and broker commissions cut into your profit and enlarge your losses it is avoided by most except the most proficient of them.

as Brooks says 'you are a trader and you must work in all kinds of markets.so i learnt to trade in all kinds of markets.

that is why i took so long to become profitable-not because i had emotional or other personal issues like geogii and pobox4 decided and diagnosed me with having.

now why do traders find trading in illiquid /dull markets so difficult?

Emini in asian session may be dull but it not illiquid.

then problem with dull E mini is that you do not have any margin to make entries and exits.

this is what most traders call, chop.

Brooks did quite well in that and you have to if you are trading only one time frame and in one security.

because a market is in 'chop' quite a lot of the time.

i learnt this the hard way by spending a lot of energy and time with it.

i also learnt when to not take a trade.

that is the most difficult of them all.
