    Or maybe his wife hid all the mirrors. Imagine yourself as his wife looking at him admiring himself in the mirror for 20 hours a day. It's time to call a divorce lawyer. But then again, he has nothing. Better to call the suicide hotline instead. :D

    i agree that it was my mistake recommending Brooks and it is the others mistake that they deride him.

    whatever makes you money do that.

    i apologize for misdirecting you but i just found him damn good and damn confusing at the same time.

    which is why i took some time in benefiting from his advice.

    i did stay with longer than most would and that was my folly.

    be that as it may i am not here to fool anyone and i have many friends here .

    that is why i am here

    What the fuck are you on about? Why do you keep bringing my name up over and over again in threads I am barely involved in? Jesus Fucking Christ, your ON worship reversal has backfired on you. You go from adulating me, to trying to insult me at every corner, but is is painfully obvious you are still neurotically-obsessed with me.

    Are you jealous that I trade live money, unlike padutrader? Yes, I am still in the Dec MYM trade long at 40999.

    Darc, maybe it is time you, like I have been doing for years, to start trading live money and journal it, so you do not become another padu, blowing combine money every month, over and over again, because you want to be an Al Brooks hero?

    FFS, dude.

    i am now using trend lines and i am using them in the way Brooks said to use them.

    everything that Brooks says .it takes a long time to understand what he says and some decide it is not worth the time.

    That is their choice. some even make lot of time to deride him.

    but now that i am using them as Brooks suggested-it is always a suggestion with Brooks, he never gives a formula- i am making money in asian session in ES. scalping of course. nothing wrong with scalping

    but because you need a win rate of 70% just to break even and broker commissions cut into your profit and enlarge your losses it is avoided by most except the most proficient of them.

    as Brooks says 'you are a trader and you must work in all kinds of markets.so i learnt to trade in all kinds of markets.

    that is why i took so long to become profitable-not because i had emotional or other personal issues like geogii and pobox4 decided and diagnosed me with having.

    now why do traders find trading in illiquid /dull markets so difficult?

    Emini in asian session may be dull but it not illiquid.

    then problem with dull E mini is that you do not have any margin to make entries and exits.

    this is what most traders call, chop.

    Brooks did quite well in that and you have to if you are trading only one time frame and in one security.

    because a market is in 'chop' quite a lot of the time.

    i learnt this the hard way by spending a lot of energy and time with it.

    i also learnt when to not take a trade.

    that is the most difficult of them all.
