50's here. Only part time now but anxiously awaiting full time status. This thread has brought me closer to that goal. Thanks again Anek. It's been said here before but trading is the perfect occupation: no boss, no customers, no employees. And I anxiously await Monday mornings.
Trading full-time would be a dream come true. I'm going to be 30 in a week. And I wish I can have the same passion and dedication as our friend Anek. And want to have the mentality like Jimmy. (after making a couple of bucks) For those that are successful out there what could be better. Where else can work in your boxers. Put your feet up and rip a wicked fart, and still make a G by lunch time ? A career this good has to have its risks and dues must be paid. But I think there's potential for all of us that trade with a plan and not like its a video game. Keep up the great work guys !! The contributions have been awesome.
Hi guys, Just want to drop by to say Great Job with the Thread. The initial strategy posted by Anekdoten is very informative, so THANK you. Iâm only on the 3rd page but I will catch up to all the 128 pages posted so far. Once again, great job, keep up the good work. KiwiRoo.
Razor, Don't touch futures in AH unless it's ES. Especially YM it's the less liquid of them all. Anek

I've been working long hours the last two days ... No trading, only studying charts. So this morning there was some time to trade, and here are my 2 trades ... on the sim ... I'm using price, volume and bollinger bands as indicators, and try to add some patience, which is difficult for me. Trade 1: Some more patience on the entry would have been nice. I wonder if the exit would have worked in real life - right at the end of that tail ... Trade2: The patience part of the entry was ok. Wish I had more patience for the exit ... but hey, no greed involved. + 387,5 so far ... Next days, I'll be working on improving my initial stop, which is 5 points now ... I also have some notes/ideas on the DAX which I will maybe post later, if there's any interest ...
