    Thank you. So far this week I've executed over 50 roundtrips since this has been such a great trading week. I couldn't even begin to post those trades real time without leaving profit on the table or missing opportunities. Under this market conditions I will limit my posts to a minimal. Once the market's volatility declines I will resume my normal posts. Thanks.

    The generosity you have shown in sharing your trading is unmatched. Being able to watch a true professional trade has been the highlight of my learning experience. I wish you the best.

    I think that those "professional" traders that are selling books and pushing chat rooms could learn a lot from you. I think they would accomplish more by posting trades and P/L instead of smooth sale pitches. But I doubt many of them could trade as well as you.

    Best regards,
    René

    Thank you for the kind words. I do intend to continue posting once this volatility subsides but for now I'll post commentary when I can.

    When I started this thread my intention was to hopefully show a different perspective of trading and market commentary that differed from the majority of traditional daytraders. I opened swing trades with brief explanations why with the hopes that a trader would correlated TA of the chart right after the position was posted so the chart formation or TA reasoning could be viewed real time. A lot of those patterns, once you recognize them, are redundant with almost every stock and open many more trading opportunities. I realized it's a bit difficult to refresh every 10 seconds on ET to see real time trade vs. charts but I think it served it's purpose.

    I have posted on many other boards over the last 2-3 years, not in as much detail as this board, and I can honestly say that the quality of traders/posters are head and shoulders above any other board with the exception of Long Shot. I am truly fortunate to have been exposed to his insightful 2:00 am commentary, abstract intellect, delayed intuitiveness.... and many more attributes which I'm sure he needs no more praise from someone like me. I have learned much more about this industry and business from Elite Trader than any other board which have created many contacts and "cyber friendships" that have been quite valuable and educational. Good luck to you all.
