Sorry to hear that. I traded for Datek and Carlin back in the 90’s. We had some serious hot-heads who were classic revenge traders. Busted keyboards every day.
I am getting all these memories from that era. I was super stoned at Duke University. The biggest drug dealer became one of my best friends. He showed me how to "cook" special K, from the vials. He was a student as well. In the 90's, drug testing was normal. So when I got hired for the trading desk, I drank all types of potions. My piss was like water. Finally, I walked into the CEO's office, and asked "when do we do the drug test"? The CFO started laughing. He said "oh the drug test; when we roll a big fat blunt with the premium stuff, and take you to Central Park, and get super high!" Then he said: Just make a LOT of money. Be a producer. All we care is about the money... True Story!!!
Appreciate it. It still haunts me as he had everything, Cornell grad, beautiful girlfriend, a six-pack. He would look at me in disgust when I was eating Wendy's, and he was making his protein shake, then he would lift up his shirt, and say "that's why you will never have this"! He was ripped. Anyway, I had an epiphany this weekend. After 2 weeks of high blood pressure medication, morning cough & nausea are gone. Last Friday, I ordered take out, and then realized I was not hungry. So I gave it away to a homeless person. Friday night is for eating out, WTF is wrong with me. I then realized it was the medication. My blood pressure was so high, it was making me eat out of anxiety. Although called the "silent killer", at extreme levels, it can show symptoms. I will see my doctor next week, and keep working on my health. At this stage of the game, I just need to skip the FED day, which is marked on my calendar. I have no need for news, or to even post here. My main focus is my health now. My trading journey (1998), is officially over. There are no more doors to open. Good luck to you guys! And yes, trading killed my friend. It's a very dangerous endeavor I would not recommend to anyone. I was just lucky to survive. Oh, and check your Blood Pressure!!!
Lol they just whiffed on breaking the 20k level on the NQ MAXED Short on the nq Wish I could participate on this one but we just going to watch the world burn tonight minus 38 MNQs Knew 20k would hold should have been shorter at a higher number
