  1. Totally wrong, knock off the mistruths. Got a little too aggressive on the combine, loss limits hit on the session:

  2. When I posted earlier, it wasn't a "mistruth". But I appreciate your candor and will not mention this again. :)

    PS Got too aggressive? But you only take price driver trades. How can this happen?

  3. Donna, I appologize for stevie.

    He may not know that Tucson is the energy center for trading just like Sedona is for pendulum swingers.

    Donna also drives a 12 cylinder car . we switch off one bank for citiy driving. we alternate banks.

  4. as you learn more about markets, you will no longer couple the pair you mention.

    Computer programming is done by following the rules of programming.

    computer programming for trading successfully is done by transferring the principles and concepts of how markets work into snippets and the snippets are merged to represent a system of how the market works.

    refining the resultant system takes many forms.

    Fear and greed are found below the neck in a person who cannot transfer principles and concepts into snippets nor can he transfer how to merge the snippets into a system.

    If you can find and meet a person who is knowledgeable and skilled, interview him and ask bout iterative refinement of systems. Mark on a palm with a sharpie the number of times he mentions your hangups (fear and greed). go to the boys room and wash your hand.

    you will find that your hands are dirty for other reasons than making marks with a sharpie.

  5. Truth is, I was up big and went on tilt playing with the house money. Completely my fault-- I own it and was humbled by CL.

  6. Why change your method? Makes no sense to me, but maybe it does to you.

    I started a thread a while back about how being accused of being a truck driver by ET members signifies you've truly reached Elite status. But then I saw someone post recently that Anekdoten was a fraud! Does that mean he wasn't actually a truck driver or he wasn't actually a trader? :confused: :confused: :confused:

    I'm just glad we drive cars, Jack! :D

    Brother Surf, I saw your excellent morning in CL! I, too, follow price drivers.

    With a quick result like this today trading CL in a range of less than a point...

    ...can I assume you no longer think it's nonsense that an experienced price action CL trader might be able to generate $50K in 10 days trading 5 cars?

    Of course it is greed, what else? Any wish to consume beyond the means of basic survival is greed.

    But did I say it's something negative? Notice how you guys give this term the negative coloring, not me. :p

    I am very greedy myself. :D
