  1. Dude - you're not dumb...BUT:
    This is COUNTER-TREND trading....and you are aware of course that great traders like John Henry ...do the opposite:
    TRADE WITH THE TREND.
    Countertrend strategies have been proven to be great only for intraday/short-term day trading. For other time-frames...it sucks !

  2. As the generic theme in Jack Schwager's books go: the exits, the exits! Newbies focus on entries, seasoned traders focus on exits.

    hmmmm tells me a lot...

  3. I have been making on average 1,329 lbs on money a day.

    I would love to make a ton of money, but I just can't seem to get over that hump.

    Good luck to you

  5. Ftrader, are you sure you're wife is going to work? If I were her I couldn't be in the same house as you and you're giant ego, and my guess would be a very small pee pee

  6. I may have to disagree on that. I'm sure you have more experience than me, but I read in "The master Swing Trader" that trends exist in all time frames. So its probably safe to say that counter trends can also be in effect for weeks / months at a time?

  7. wow ... I only use one 17 inch monitor.

    but am content as long as at the end of the day my P+L is green


    -I know what indicators I use to enter, money management and then it is just a matter of staying glued to my 7 friggin monitors.-

  9. goodness,
    give the guy a break,
    so he had a good day and brag a little... so what?

    if you can do better, do better.. if you cannot, ask him how, etc...

    what's up w/ all this nitpicking, negative predictions on a guy who said he made 4k/day... geez...

    ftrader, next time when you have a 40k day, make sure you post your pnl, that'll shut them up ;)
