Hang on and try to learn as much as you can. T28 and JJ are nasty sometimes but that because they KNOW how to make $$$ from this game (and because sometimes we all turn into assholes for a variety of reasons). So they think they could be arrogant. My recommendation: read SPM thread, ES Journal. Since SPM thread (actually both of them) had been closed, concentrate on the ES Journal. Many people there are friendly and will answer most of your questions if asked. also, do not rush things, it will come to you, just give it time.
Pfft.. asshole is just the word losing traders use for winners.. cant take the heat.. get out of the kitchen
In theory I certainly belive in your one love concept saxon22, but seriously, aside from all the trash talking and back and forth we do here Jk crossed the line, so I really don't think he's looking for any, at least not from me. *** As far as far as working as well as trading is concerned, aside from the reasons that I listed, multiple streams of income are a very good thing, and seeing as how trading is such an isolated endeavor, the social opportunities that come from it definitely do not hurt. *** There are many ways to make money trading, and I enjoy experimenting to find new ones, it's the creativity that keeps the game fun. Finding a trend and trading it is certainly a good way to make money in this game, but mastering the art of trading reversals is even better, and can't be done successfully by many. One technique that I've developed (after much trial and error, that is true), and used to catch the bottom last Friday is being roundly labeled as being "bullshit" by the less informed minions of the site. Another guy can't believe I have a money management algorithm that uses the concept of basic sets to scale-up in size in a powerful fashion, and decreases risk as it increases size. I don't come here to tell people how to do what I do, or to teach them what I know. I come here to exchange ideas with other traders (which is exactly what I've done in this post, exchanged ideas) and develop new ideas and ways of learning how to maximize the power of trading leveraged futures. Have a great holiday. Jimmy Jam
Saxon, unless they have showed you their statements you can not say that they know how to trade, especially JJ as I have seen a lot of his calls and at very best he is a breakeven trader, both of them can only dispute this by showing their respective yearly PnL statements. Otherwsie, in all fairness, they can be just as good as I am, there is simply no proof, only assumption
Aside from the fact that we aren't going to be friends, so I most definitely don't care about what you think, I'd say my comments above give proof enough as to who is the more skilled. It's a lovely day, bye now. Jimmy Jam
Jim, please point out where exactly I have "crossed the line" and I bet you I can prove you are shooting blanks yet again ie posting non-factual info.
Here is a favourable probability scenario - there will never be any shred of proof of Trader28 (aka Allaces) nor JimJam nor SnarlyJack being actually profitable traders. How's that for probability?
I'd say the probability that you are a moron that will never realize a profit is rising by the minute
Below link to a chart previously posted on SPM thread makes a perfect case why I do not favour every single cross, I see 1 great trade there, no need to be in & out all day long. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1338806 BTW who cares whose is better, I never slammed the case of every single 0 line cross, I have always said that I do not favour it. For some reason that has created a stir.
