  2. you figured out my secret. of course, that implies needing to connect and organize my thoughts and maybe even plan my posts...we're talking major overhaul.

  3. As you know from our first encounter many months ago that I was at ETG during my beginning phase and honored my contract even though I could have gotten better elsewhere.

  4. In all honesty Chas, I assume you trade 99% listed because overall, you get a better shake than in the OTC market. Am I wrong? (Been known to happen in the past.)

  5. LOL, One last comment on the subject, I hope, are you sure you don't want to use Ecc. 12:12 as your tag line. Look it up in your Bible and tell me what you think?

    yes i remember....and given the timeline of 5 1/2 yrs, you received a tremendously much better deal than i did with ETG. You were also quite arrogant at the time which would have been easy to do given the deal you had received. if i had received the same offer i too would have stayed. also, you didn't have a NEW contract shoved down your throat mid-contract. and lastly, you didn't have new traders come in after you and receive a much better deal. BTW, Bob and Jeff's response to myself when confronted with these "facts" was "you came in at the wrong time". that was real comforting while they were sucking the blood out of us!!!! bottomline, newatthis, you were quite arrogant and judging from your recent posts it doesn't sound like much has changed.

  7. Adding words to God's or studying too much? Guilty of the second. God help me if I do the first.

  9. maybe we shouldn' take them trades personally....if you are a smaller trader posted at a specific price and then the specialist is "angling" / "ogling" at order (whether stops) that is all big and juicy...to complete/cover a trade then they just past through your price and you get a "positive sllipage" from time to time....a case of being at thge right place at the right time.....as you are in the way of the price spot where they want to nail

  10. on the other hand..if you are in that/part of "big and juicy" order size or along with a big bunch of stops....too bad.....its nothing personal....they just need to close a trade profitably at that specific spot
