    For those that insist on defining themselves as a Newbie, look at yourself in the mirror and chant "I am a Newbie" 10 times in a row, I guarantee you will stop saying the word Newbie.

    Every time I hear Newbie, I just don't know what to say and get pissed.

    Most people on this forum are men... so don't call yourself a Newbie, your a man with a question, or seeking advice, or have some input. Just don't call yourself a "Newbie."

    Back to more serious topics, I hope some of you caught the long trade in bonds this week, it was epic. Had one of my best weeks ever. 10 Year note, was just so pretty all week, elegant if you will.

    Notice when volatility kicks up in a market ie bonds... technical get so simple and obvious. Prefer faster moving/volatile markets, I guess the computers take over and everything trades with obvious technicals...at least that is what I noticed $$$$$$$$$$$

    If we going to get on the "banning" event, let's ban people who started a post about one topic and end it completely having nothing to do with the title. Shows lack of discipline of self.

    Sorry, did not mean to offend anyone. Something about that word I found funny, and can't understand why anyone would define themselves as a Newbie.

    I have plenty of discipline.
     
  6. Good job! I traded the 30yr. for many years when the volatility was there, since then only nat. gas and gold. If ZB/ZN get crazier I will have to go back.:thumbsup:

    Thanks Bone, I trade 11 different futures markets. Each month, there is always something moving. NG has been moving nicely lately.


    11 months in a row with new equity highs for each month in my account... perhaps I graduated?

    I know I don't have 6,000 Posts on ET, with 200 posts am I still technically a NEWBIE?

    No, you are practically an idiot. In 13 years or so I never heard anybody complaining here about such an idiocy. You discovering ET just now might makes you a newbie poster here, but who the fuck cares if you have a long trading experience and you are profitable???

    May I ask, are you a millennial? Those are the ones offended so easily...

    I'm fine with banning "newbie" as long as "nOOb" is still allowed
