    Heya BBNAz!

    I got killed by the EOD yesterday!!!!! In the last 25 minutes, I went from down $200 to -2400 to -500 and back down to -2400..... the moral of the story is: don't have 30000 ORCL after the bell..... ;) my p/l isn't usually that volatile..... i think I might have been slightly careless (30000 GE is generally a bad idea.....)

    today will be much better. I would have posted my blotter, well this description will have to do......

    latez,

    mnx

  2. I truly have enjoyed posting here and sharing. And I thank those who let me view there blotters. But to be honest this site frustrates the hell out of me. If I read one more post from someone who is obviously a losing trader or newb giving advice to others i`ll lose it. It seems the biggest losers are the largest posters.......nice trend if you could trade it. :D This will be my last post in this thread...enjoy and good luck everybody!

  3. SWS,

    Your point about negative posters at ET has also been my point of view. A long time ago, I decided to see the negative posts just like a losing trade. It happens, yet if you are neutral in your emotions, you simply don't react/ see it/them.

    Yet, you can sure find good stuff on ET, IF you know how to see and ask. There have been many who have shared with me, over the years and I am very very thankful. I just love the perspectives that are offered here on ET. Yet, it is my job to take a perspective about trading, adapt it to myself and start slowly applying it as a strategy. And, this can take a few years simply implementing a successful strategy, and most here on ET don't have that time frame, nor ability not to make money for months, or even years.

    SWS ... thanks for your posts and sharing your trading. From what I have seen, you are a consistent trader and that, for me, is awesome.

    That is my 2 cents,
    PatrickQ

  5. taking off early today, so here is the blotter for EUR and JPY. I did not take all the setups today, as I was busy around the office.

    pretty flat day (in range) for both of these contracts, which for what i am doing seems to work well. when we get a large range day in the contracts, i only take trade setups in the direction of the range.

    have a great weekend all,

    When top trader like you guys trade, what indicator usually to be used when trading? I mean by futures, or by oil, or by support resistent or what? I mean how do you catch the 10 cents candle every time when it spike. and How many stocks you guys trade at same time?

    Mnx,
    Is your trading automated? How many trades do you make a day? In your blotter, I see that you may have made about 500 trades.

    very good job
