  1. Is there a moderator in here?

    I am going off on my boat for a week on Friday and Jesus Christ I don't want to come back and have another 20 or 30 imbeciles flames to take care of.

    I have done the best I can to get kicked out of here and I can't believe I am still in here.

    What is it with you guys?

    You let everyone in here just run amok for the sake of advertising?

    I couldn't give a shit what all these imbos do or say as I don't owe them anything

    But it amazes me that no one has even said a word from the moderating side of things to censure anything so far.

    Truely amazing you can let a site like this run unattended like a shit fight.

    i was going to jump in with a childish remark.

    but then i realized, not only is it unproductive, but i am infact supposed to be a busy successful trader and i should be devoting my thoughts to a POSITIVE outcome in THE MARKETS, not NEGATIVE posts on a CHAT ROOM that will only cripple my ability to focus.

    maybe some just aint learned the basics yet.

    all talk and no trousers some people

  4. Oh, sorry... I made about 9 pts in the morning, went short straight at the open and held for 4 pts, then had another 4 trades or so, and finished ~11:30, then I was so tired I went to bed. Regretted it this morning, when I realized the full day would have yielded close to 17 pts or so had I played all my typical moves.

    So, yesterday it was about +9 pts in the first couple of hours, and the day before about +9 pts in the last couple of hours. Haven't traded a full day yet, but might today, we'll see.

    Don't know about Bryce. I don't think he's posted any trades yet. I think he isn't seeing a lot of opportunity right now for what he does.

    For me, I don't care. I love trends, and love chop even more. :cool:

  6. LMFAO. No, I waste all my waking hours on the screens for fun, and all my money on data feeds etc for the hell of it. What do I do, Electric? I am a bored man doing nothing. :)

  7. Hey folks, I have just told the room that I won't be posting anymore trades until the challenge with Bryce. I see no real point in it, and it distracts me too much, plus the ES isn't quite yielding me as much as I'd like to be getting (the ER2 offers a lot more), so I have to get back to my normal work to get my stats up. I will trade the ES again though, once the comp starts. Whenever that will be.

    As for final update, I went long the breakout this morning and got a very nice ride indeed. This would never be possible on ES, and unless I'm clipping big size, I just see no justification for trading it. Playing the long side... :)

  8. I didnt think it would be much of a competion. Still, nice trading. Totally agree about er2 vs. es.

  9. You always seem to be making money, and in a big way at that. May I ask what kind of percentage return on capital your trading generates?
