  1. hey j...no im not looking at ne of those ... especially breakouts; every time i ever tried a break out system i got killed. although i have been the gartley-butterfly-fibb etc things...im not big on patterns either. as i said before...all markets have a certain character...it changes slightly because the players are different each day but basically it does the same thing over and over again...i just jump in and out...

  6. jack... my edge is in my head... soon to be unleashed on the markets like rest of ET.. :p Seriously, I actually have a very simple excruciating problem.. Last 2 weeks over 70 percent of my trades would have yielded roughly 250 NQ points (look back disease also) BUT each time I stay in less than 5 minutes for peanuts.. In a couple of years I'll have the fear thing licked.. As you have...

    About the grass though when I was making 80k/yr I was delegating that... One thing that money buys and separates royalty from others is delegating labor not buying stuff... but if you like doing it..

    Hey jackflash,

    What kind of size are you trading to get these big P/Ls? I'm an equity trader thinking about getting into e-minis. Of course I'm going to start small, but you're P/L's are wow.

    Well with equities I'm more of a fundamentalist but I want to trade these e-minis on a technical basis, been studying the charts for a quite a bit and I want to get a little money in now
