Surf, you are trying to short an ADU. Not a very good idea... Although if you get lucky it would melt down after 2 pm...
Unfortunately, by the time "nigh" appears, you might be bankrupt (if you actually traded). I suggest getting to know how MP works. You could head on over to your local library and read "Mind over Markets...." for free. Or you could ask "Jimmie" for the lowdown on "Set Theory"...As you may know, he discovered that "Set Theory" is the key to intraday success. Apparently I (and others like me) have been keeping him from sharing this with the world.. I am sure his book will be coming out shortly "The Secret of Set Theory...How I conquered the world of finance using tiny little overlapping circles"
No SteveO - aka Almighty1 - I'll be sharing it with my friends via PM when I'm ready to, believe me, you will not be included in the email. For the record, this clown went over to the ES thread and tried to explain his trading methodology while playing a one-upmanship game with me ... except that he conveniently left out the money management concepts and the importance of position sizing and leverage when trading leveraged instruments. :eek: In a detailed analysis I pointed out the error of his ways ... and all of the other traders said, hey look, JJ has it, but Steve46 is really missing the boat. At which point his only option was to resort to childish insults and disrespectful comments. *** So what does that have to do with this thread? Only this. Almighty1 (under his Steve46 alias) doesn't have the ability to understand what you're doing here with your trading Market Surfer, he sees everything from the perspective of an L-7 Square, and gets upset when presented with anything outside of his (rather limited) box. That, and when you say "margin" he thinks, "so long as the front office tells me I have money, I can trade". The process using statistical analysis to determine optimal trade entry points that we just discussed ... it went right over his head. Please keep that in mind when reading his childish and juvenile rantings (supposedly he's a college professor, if so, I feel sorry for those kids). Good trading all, Jimmy Jam
Itâs a sad situation. I personally feel bad for a man displaying soooo much anger on a public forum. However, I did notice that he follows you around from thread to thread and that should simply flatter you. Your best bet is to ignore him and his disrespectful and desperate attempts at attention. Although I personally dislike him immensely, I do not think heâs an idiot â just a miserable individual who is blatantly lonely. He attempts to get people to think under a ceiling instead of staying open minded. This may actually make him a great professor, but only in a distinct area. Essentially, I think he could offer some great insights if he learned how to talk to people without making those underhanded remarks. Until he learns to do so, I suggest anyone who gets annoyed at his insolent remarks, ignores him completely. - Annanymous
I agree it's better to remain silent if you've got nothing complimentary to offer. I'll admit this journal would be pretty sparse if that were the norm. Surf is ridiculed for posting fiction; trades that can't exist. Long the EUR and crowing about profits when the pair is 100 pips lower. Posting stock executions when the shares are halted[GOOG, et chat room]. Posting an FX spot trade and adjusting the fill within the 30min edit window. Scaling into losing index trades, but never scaling into winners. This is not an exhibition of market edge. IMO, Surfer should stick to HF marketing. Just a personal observation.
My last unless asked to respond. If you're going to BS, at least be proficient. Don't phuck it up. Adding to my earlier comments, Dog.
