No worries. I tend to think that I am semi-decently educated on world events especially of last century. For common and general knowledge, I like following trading related books the most: 1) Niederhoffer Edi of a Spec (probably read 3 times, I couldn't understand much the first time I read it) but when I read it I was just starting my career and I was lazy so i didn't go ahead and test everything he wrote in that book. 2) Niederhoffer Practical speculations 3) Soros on Soros, Alchemy of Finannce 4) MktWizards 3 books + Hedgehogging When i started out I was all into this global macro thing, but now I am much more research driven technical/quant trader - Now I tend to think more like ammo - nips and cleavages work just test them and trade them (don't worry too much why they work). lol.
Ammo - Happy B'Day in Advance! I think its safe to say that ignoring occasional fights, we on ES-Journal are a pretty supportive and friendly crowd. Maybe we should all get together once a year and have an ES-Journal party - and Ammo (probably) being the most experienced fetches the bill
New member - been here awhile, though. June ES Short 1627 Will add to short up to 1628.75. Stop 1632 Target: a lot aka 1570 or below
Some generational common knowledge makes it's appearance in certain aspects of history. I was guessing late 20's, early 30's.
