To paraphrase W. Allen, forever is really long, especially near the end. So, Volente leaving "forever" ?
volente, my neighbor and friend from the woodlands.........i am begging.....don't leave....i beseech you, if u have one shred of compassion in your soul, don't leave us....porgie, tradequicker, brothers # 1, 2, and 3.........we love you...we will give you $5.00 for your systems if you decide to keep your word and leave......$1.00 per sibling.......might negotiate if we can all agree to.......
How fitting my last post comes on a T day, not just any T day but the 12th or 13 th in a row that closed green in a row. I have become a victim of my own theory. I was wrong about the top, I called for 1345 back in Feb when everyone was bearish as hell and calling for 1150-1180. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63752&highlight=prediction The last short term bottom I called turned out to be on the day that the exact 1220 low was put in. No one else on ET out of 50k members called it. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=70912&highlight=short+term Unlike pabst I did not bet the farm on the call, I am a scalper by nature, that is what I do best. I can scalp 5 points from the shortside on a day the market is up 15. Is it logical? probably not but that is my style of trading. Good luck to all of you in your trading. I enjoyed interacting with everyone here, even my friend Thorn/rubberbird/jamestock. I have given you the only 2 reasons I will every post again on ET. Unlike some on here, I am a man of my word. I knew the stakes were high right from the start When she dealt the cards I dealt my heart Now I just found a game that I can't play And this is where the cowboy rides away Chorus: And my heart is sinking like the setting sun Setting on the things I wish I'd done It's time to say good bye to yesterday This is where the cowboy rides away We've been in and out of love and in between And now we play the final showdown scene And as the credits role a sad song starts to play This is where the cowboy rides away And my heart is sinking like the setting sun Setting on the things I wish I'd done Oh the last good bye's the hardest one to say This is where the cowboy rides away Oh the last good bye's the hardest one to say This is where the cowboy rides away
Just to clarify something. My account has only dipped from 108k to 99k during my fixation with being short the past month and a half. A lot of it had to do with luck. I was short 15 cars at an ES average of 38.50 and I covered on impulse at an avg of 41.50. The market never looked back. I've never been short more than 10 since (for nano seconds) with a measly 5 lot short doing most the damage the past couple of days. I'm STILL short 5 at 47. No plans to cover.......but someday, somewhere I'll sell more. In solidarity, if you never post with any OTHER alias, then I'll leave also. My intention was ONLY to RETIRE the PABST moniker but it's not like this site has ever made me money. Well a Romeo call helped big one time.......
volente 00 may leave, but isn't he just going to get a new name and show up doing the same old things? Keep your eyes open for the same personality under a different name. Hopefully, he has the sense not to come back as volente 01.
At least he had the decency to make a sign-off post, unlike others that insist on sticking it out now without any credibility. volente_00, so long and I hope exile proves more profitable. Nice final post.
Vol, It has been great trading with you my friend. Drop me a message from time to time. You will be missed. Gary
