Quote me as much as you want. Always happy to help. Even though I wrote that a long time ago and had forgotten I wrote it, it still applies...
I guess negativity is a fairly natural by product of any net losers environment if that is you believe most ET traders are net losers. The funny...
No problem. I just call it as I see it. ET is a fantastic research resource, yet people often don't see it. They focus on the negative....
I agree with what you say. A couple of points. I think any good system should still be net profitable even if you trade it poorly. So, if you...
Very tough because of the time zone to trade US markets. European markets are ok for half a session. I think the Dax opens, for example, at 6pm...
