    Do you win overall for all the years that you have been trading?

  2. I don't post on ET when I make a profit

    I use to have a rooster who would crow everytime he screwed a hen

    he never knew that one of these days I was going to turn him into a stew

    unfortunately, the coyote got him before I did

    now these boys were some traders

    they use to sit at the edge of the woods every morning and just look at things and make plans

    they never took more than they needed

    I don't quite get what you mean. Was it a metaphor?

    I should make a poster out this blip and show it to every rookie that enters my office.

    Cheers,

  7. the reason an old dog cannot learn new tricks is because the dog is not "willing" to.

    to win at trading one must think in probabilities, not absolutes.

    when is a market sideways or trending?

    when and where?

    this comes from intuition.

    one has to see the market for what it is, not what you want it to be.

    humility is not about "you", entitlement is mindset thing you deserve something. you deserve nothing in this business.

    I like you oldtime, but you're starting to sound like Grandpa Simpson.

  10. ah, you kids today, I liked something about the coyotes though that just came out in a fit of inspiration, it has to do with sustainability, "they never took more than they needed"

    many of us are still looking for a viable exit strategy
