  2. screen time screen time screen time translates into the ability to read PM (price movement) as PA (price action) and use intuition based on experience to create wins.

    Indicators = Huh??

    lol -- I asked you the credit card question because I was hoping to learn something, that's all. You chose not to answer. But do carry on with your thread. I find you amusing.

  5. trendo...thanks for being gracious...taking that in the spirit it was expressed...ha

    listen...once and for all... for all the curious...(gees...cant believe i am even wasting my time with this) does ne one have wildblue internet service? u have to put up a cc to charge every month...in advance...no bills in the mail or checks for payment...has to be a cc on file. if the cc does not go thru ...for ne reason...u get the "past due" notice. my cc expired... here is part of it...

    ...Our records indicate that payment on your account is overdue in the amount of $77.37.

    We recently were unable to process your monthly payment for WildBlue Internet service. This can happen for different reasons. Most often, it is because your financial institution declined the payment, your credit card has expired, or your bank account has been closed...blah blah...

    if ne further info is required ... call wild blue! (cubs...did i tell you i hate you? i hate you!)

    lets see what curiosity this brings out..hehe

  7. option...i knew i could count on you!...hahaha...hows it been goin? i saw where the option boys got creamed the other day..u get damaged?

    but i still respectfully say screw a bunch of options as far as im concerned...i had a huge call position back in the late 80's...(dont remember if it was before or after the crash...but had a system using market profile...what a joke)...had cqg back then...2800 a month......neway, i was going to be extremely..i mean extremely rich...or extremely poor...when those suckers expired worthless i unplugged and quit...had to go get a ja...jo...jaaa... (i cant bring myself to say that word) but i hope u r doin well!

    btw...i bought a knock-off of the supporter from a vendor in ny but now i see why i quickly threw it out...it didnt have the "absorbant linen sack"...hehe all these years i have been heavy on my feet and had to cope with an unrefined appearance...

    oh...did neone else know that suspensories are injurious? wonder if that had nething to do with my exwife takin off with that tire salesman...hmmm

  9. really? thats interesting... do you stay in the market when u trade?...adding and reversing? thats why i cant make it over a couple of hours at a time...ha...im not much of a gun slinger nemore. i get into profits and then escalate my position. entries are my key i guess...if it rolls back on me i bail or reverse looking for the expansion to a target that is characteristic of the market ...adding and pulling til i get there.

    fib...if you mean untruthful...i talk shit to my exwife and her jerk husband a bit...ha but if you mean fib...like fibonacci...no i dont do measuring with that either...way back (i guess you read my earlier way-back posts) the 50% rt's were interesting and i was trying to make some sense of it...but to no avail...could never find neone who could define where to measure from. i could find 50's-61's-161's everywhere...alot of the crap looks good on a flat piece of paper but falls apart when you have to trade it...as you prob know...when you trade your mind changes..u see ghosts and lots of scary stuff...ha..so i just run the other way til they show up again..and then run the other way...

  10. man...i dont know what advise to give you z...but if you know what you are doing now and u r making money i would stick with what you know pretty much. reason i ask about the fund/tech issue is because alot of stock traders are techs...and to me...a chart is a chart. it never made sense to me why they would day trade stocks when they could pick a future and trade it for way way less bank! but if you are a fundamentalist by trade...you will have to do a lot of study (maybe u already have huh?) and be guarded against the news... as far as your question...i throw small early...even start with 1's sometime and get up to 100's. i didnt get past 25's on friday, even though i was up pretty good because i was gettin a lot of partial fills...volatility ran off a bunch of players...

    and just to clarify to all...ive been trading the s&p for a long time...when it was 500 a point...and a 2 point move on the day was a big move...25 emini is like 2.5 large s&p. crash day of 87 i was shootin 10's (1pt b/a cost me 5g just to get in each throw) and i rolled out cashing in on 40...(it was a nice day!!) but one of the memorable pukes i had came in jan of 88 or 89 (86? what ever) when (i had some kind of kind of cross over the square root of pi divided by the water meter reading or some nonsense scheme...) when i started shorting with 10's...market climbed north for weeks...i added 10's for about three weeks and totaled out 50 on the gag...screw a bunch of position trading...and screw a bunch of predicting...the market can do nething and netime...trust me...

    (dang ... sorry...didnt mean to preach ... ha)
