Now, now mak (imagine me playing peacekeeper, LOL) PTF's got some real skills in this game, if you'd read any of his other posts you would see why he said that ... and while it might come off as a rather strong statement, there's a lot of truth to it, the thing is, it usually takes years to figure it out. Good trading, Jimmy Jam
Here is the most obvious statement of the week. "if your trade is in the black then you must be on the trend" regards f9
Not the "whipsaw" that causes problems, but rather the "range" of the backups(long and/or short). I don't know what you trade or how you trade, but your comments beg for a reminder. You have 4 choices if the range is an outlier for your techniques... 1) reduce size 2) wait for more favorable setups 3) take the trade, full size, with the understanding that you are playing with above average risk. 4) go to the mall and buy someone a gift! Good trading to all Osorico
Dont you think it would make better sense to start a thread ASKING how people thought the day was going rather than use the tiny sample size of your office as all the data needed to make a blanket statement?
Daxscalper, I don't mean to pry but what is your approx commision for all that trading? I see you are with OpenECry? Thanks, and again I don't mean to pry so if you don't reply I understand...
cocaine,i find it hard to believe that you are actually insulted or annoyed by my statement. it was a friggin thread. does every thread have to be so scrutinized? i'm not posting anything outlandish.
