    Sorry, I was under the impression, having read your journal that you had decided to quit after a succession of bad trades? Quite a few stinkers in there.

    Hope I didnt offend

  4. I trade the ER periodically. It seems to move quite well. I look at bonds, dow30 (Ticki) to get some idea of where it might head. I noticed your comment regarding an ER trade where you were looking to bonds for guidance as well? Hope you have a great day. Good luck, Steve46

    Where is your restaurant located and what is its name. I am looking for a part time valet parking job.

    With your pushy attitude and demanding nature, I wouldn't give you a job in the restroom. Peasant.

  7. I look at everything for guidance. I find correlations and trade what I see at the moment. The markets have some kind of correlation about 90% of the time between indices, bonds and currencies. I exploit these correlations on the very small timeframes.
