Don't forget to add the bigger picture of what the market state is that moment say through a higher timeframe. Best, Max
Hey man what's up with the academic text type of replies? Can't you explain what you mean in shorter way? Time is a non recoverable resource after all as you said Best, Max
>>>>> if you are a profitable trader and you strategies no longer make money, what will you do? <<<<< Do nothing. You've arrived. You're an ET-er. This is the end of the line.
CONFUSED! I'LL SAY YOU ARE! You of 170 posts want to step to stoney. Think of the insolence of your inference What kind of deranged person would do as much research as I do both on a fundi and technical side and give away all his top picks for free and not make money from it. Life has a whole series of costs that must be paid. At first I hit the ceiling plenty of pay sites give out picks too, do you ask for their personal information or just me. and including Jack Hershey what kind of freakin' insult was that? He hasn't given out one pick!. I'm doing all the heavy lifting. What is the point of the challenge? There is no point. I gave the same challenge to Cramer everyone it would seem knows about me... except you Mark. I've thought about this long and hard as I was getting acupuncture for my tingly hands and feet. Rather than allow myself to get angry I will indulge you if I can do so in a manner that I feel is safe. I work out at Fitness Results in NYC 5th ave and 20th st I forget the exact building number 137 maybe. Just check the phone book.I'm there on Tuesday's after 11:30 and every other Thursday after 1:30 pm & Friday's around noon. Please come meet me and once I am convinced you are not a crazy of some sort I will let you into my home. I know I can hear my wife screaming we don't have insurance what if Mark steals something! Well then Mark it will be big trouble for both of us. I will ask you to see Kenny inside the gate area at the gym, he will pat you down-- this is normal, whatever you do don't jerk around quickly at that moment -- Kenny is from the temple and is a very serious WU SHU fighter. Just act like someone is adjusting your pants for you. I will let you see my emails to the Hedge Fund it's easily searched in sent messages and you can read through my reams and reams of tax info-- the only problem here is I can't be assured you don't have a photographic memory and it will be tough to scrub my SS off every page. I have even heard your identity can be stolen just with a routing number... so we will have to figure out a system perhaps we can start with my online account and hit the history button there. As a token of your appreciation please bring with you a CD player. I need a new one. In terms of make & features , I would prefer metal buttons & Japanese or Dutch provenance but I understand if it is not, just don't get one of those spinning 5 CD player set ups-- I prefer a single CD 1 at a time and a fairly high end machine. I know these can go for upwards of $500 so don't feel the need to impress. A good $375 player ought to get the job done. I look forward to meeting you.~stoney
Summary...no brokerage statements will be posted to verify any stated trades in this thread with personal info blacken out by those involved in the challenge. I understand now. Therefore, sorry to have bother you and Jack...didn't want to make anybody sweat to make them think they were at the fitness center. Isn't Jack in NYC too ??? Mark
Mark you can act as silly as you want. I've invited you into my home you can watch me trade in live time. I really can't do more than that. I've asked around and every single person said make him bring something so I am asking for a CD player. If you would rather a bottle of wine, I'll use my Amex points for the CD player. Go to Moor Brothers for the wine and ask for Ecco he knows what I like. I think you are trying to rub me the wrong way by including JH's name all the time. he won't even leave a pick here why would he give you his brokerage statement. You are a bit of a wise guy. I'm inclined to knock you about a bit in a practice session first before we retire to the house. Come a bit earlier.~stoney
Hmmm...asking to see a brokerage statement for any stated trades in this thread that transformed into a one sided challenge is silly. Here are a few more questions... How old are you ??? Is Jack Hershey located in NYC ??? Do you regularly threaten people without knowing any thing about their personal background ??? With that said, send me your home address via private message and take it easy on that high protein diet to help you stay in shape because it's known to change hormone levels (seriously). P.S. I watch C.S.I. Mark
IMO the days of an independent or prop trader wedding themselves to a particular instrument and technical set-up is probably over - my preference is to monitor many spread combinations and cherry-pick the best risk/reward skews using a custom scanner. Even the best trade set-ups for specific market names and relative value combinations are cyclical these days - have a viable strategy actively looking for trades in the equities, metals, interest rates, softs, currencies, and energy. Portable alpha for the independent trader.
