  2. I don't disagree with that.

    Your comment did seem to have a condescending tone, though. Hence my inquiry. I also find it a bit odd why people have the need to lurk around with different nicks every 2nd month and pretending to be a new person, but each to his own.

    You seem to speak out against being in a room, yet at he same time now say you are in a room.

    Personally, I find that I trade the best when I'm 100 % off-line during market hours. Expressing my opinion about the market or posting trades is very much a distraction, but it's a lonely business and one where one may desire to have some connection with someone on the same journey.

    But I've come to accept that I'm alone doing this and will continue being alone.

    Good trading to you as well. Say hello to NQ. :)

  3. Yeah. You're probably right about that whoever you are.

    I don't normally pursue this, but Tinderbox I would ask that you no longer post in this journal. Thank you.

  5. Even though I'm a putz (had to Google that) the return on my piker account was 228 % this week. Obviously a week out of the ordinary with extraordinary opportunities, but I was mostly on the right side of the market being short early in the week and long on the last two days of the week.

    My only regret is not pressing the long side more, but with Thursday being a statistical anomaly, I'll accept that.

    Are you going to update us on your position shorts? Everyone seems to be leaning towards long going forward. Have you flipped opinions or are you still confident of further down action?

  7. I promise to behave. Please don’t make me go to K Calhoun’s trading room. All he talks about is trying to score with 20 year old trim.

    I have not changed my opinion at all... If anything, its strengthened it as this is typical bearish PA.... as far as core short position goes, I have scaled in/ out more times than I can count... adding on significant strength ... covering into significant weakness... & I`ll continue to do so.

    I’m with ya Speedy… in more ways than one. ;)
    The reason I posted live calls along with reason for entering … was to be used as a learning tool as so many say it’s impossible to win in short term trading and make a living at it. When I started out, broker platforms used to think I was nuts when I asked them if they carried the Es mini.. they had no idea what the instrument was, nada! Mutual support was even more rare.
    Took me bit better than 10yrs to become consistently profitable where I expected to make money every day. Like Qtrader20 said, lean miserable years with no support .. blood sweat and tears along with an unfettered belief in yourself to figure it out…. I feel it’s my duty to pay it forward just a little… as there have been many that stopped short just a year or 2 away from success due to life’s grinding ways, family pressure & capital running out. Life’s very short, May as well develop a craft you love and provides you true independence… that’s what I’m in it for… not material things like my buddies whom have all the toys and 6 cars.. it’s about freedom and being thankful & benevolent when you can!
    Good trading all!
