    ahhh...my bad. Yes then, I agree. Scalping stocks right now is very difficult.

  2. Now why did you purposely skip over the good calls I made and just found a bad call? I should cuss you out because you are basically dishonest and I bet you do not even trade but just troll around here.

    The point of this post is to point out the whining and complaining from the supposedly more experienced traders in the forum. You see the indexes making higher highs and higher lows and you don't know how to trade that? Come on. Its obvious how you trade that, you buy the dips. Honestly, how hard could that be? Its not rocket science.

    I would bet money that many here don't really trade and just use this forum to troll and waste time during their work.

    Post up a setup, post up a strategy, post up a brokerage ticket or get the fuck out.

  3. Was only a matter of time before scalping went the way of automata. The trades to put on now are the kind you can leave on, no stops, catch lunch and a movie and be back to exit at the close.

    btw

    I don’t make a habit of posting trades – but neither do I run when called on the carpet

    OP,


    I assume we’re through questioning my validity as a trader and why I picked up on LVS - not your calls specifically


    I also assume this (your) thread was started as a jab at Dustin’s thread (btw I respect Dustin)

    http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=180952




    Truth be known I agree with Dustin – now is a hard time (at least in stocks)



    But I also would state

    If you can survive now – you can make it in this game

    And like I’ve stated before – I do not have the luxury of wishing the mkt was something it isn’t – it is what it is – I must play the hand I’m dealt - every day



    Also OP,

    I would also like you to know there are some traders on this forum – we stick out – to each other - quite literally, and very clearly…

    Because we live and die the same crap together every day – and we know what is.. and what is not…


    Regards Sir

  6. Which is it Red? :)

    In all seriousness, as volatility contracts, difficulty increases for the daytrader and volatility has definitely been contracting.
