@volente_00 Looks like someone is on the attack this morning. Did you lose this week also? I just put on the 1289.75 but I shorted the market way before that level. I already closed a position from 1321.75 short SP500 from 6/3/11 and 12336 short on the Dow from 6/3/11 I got the dow for 300 points now and the SP500 for 45 points now this past two weeks. LOL The reality is yesterday he/she lost and I won. Today they may win and I may lose (Actually I already won I am in a free ride) I do not have anything to sale. I think its funny how you have preprogrammed replies and ASSUME I just got short where the market has been short for about a week and a half. THIS IS FROM ANOTHER THREAD This last part is not directed towards anyone its just a thought. FOOLS assume LEADERS and MEN of WISDOM ask the right questions to get a better understanding. Asking the right questions instead of assuming is one way out of many that we learn and grow.
Volente is one of the most stalwart, thoughtful, and generous contributors on this site. I have nothing but respect for his methodological discipline. Moreover, I have never seen him taunt other contributors about "taking" money from them -- specious talk anyway, unless somehow one knows precisely who's on the other side of the trade. A general observation: I have found that the successful traders are quite humble about their accomplishments; they know how hard-won their abilities are, and how quickly a change in the markets can dismantle their edge. The chest-beaters -- invariably, it seems -- are poseurs.

Agreed, Volente is a good dude. One of the first people to reach out to me when I first started. Nothing but respect for that guy. to add, humility, in my opinion is probably the most important characteristic an individual can have. Someone that can control their ego would be an incredible trader i'de imagine.
@emg Odesk worked for me I got what I paid for based on picking a good programmer and paying only after I got what I wanted. @T I am both humble and edgy I wanted atticus to see that his/her analysis yesterday was wrong and they lost. It may or may not motivate him/her to improve on what they already may have as a workable model. @Everyone There are many ways to trade as long as it works for that person. When I first started I lost about $50,000 in maybe 3 months. It took another 2 years before I started knowing what I was doing. What I do now is based on everything I learned when I was losing so I capitalized on my foolishness. I was the fool then who should have learned what I was doing first before jumping in. I am not the fool anymore and if I can either by smacking someone up or providing words of encouragement prevent others from being the fool I would do just that.
I lost? I am long and flat PNL you were stopped on your short after a few hours. Your lack of edge is staggering, regardless of the lingo you apply to it.
I have been winning all the way down and I am still short. I may or may not get stopped out today but I am still short. If I get stopped out my stop is a good distance BELOW breakeven so I still win. No need to cry, no need to run, I am short and I am having fun. If the market turns back around and triggers a long I will go long. I do not have a bias. I just trade what I see. The market was short big time from last week and I was triggered to go short.
