  1. Ah. ok. I was not referring to a specific strategy, only that there are profitable ways to trade short timeframes.

    Exactly, I watched many people trade themselves into the poorhouse while options market making. Main thing if you're going to trade options is always leave yourself an out on short trades (hedge in other words).
    Otherwise get ready for the phone call.

    He has a habit of doing that.

    Common trait of those who can't.

    As if you were arguing a small office trader, trading own money, is the equivalent of a Goldman or RenTech trader - or should ever be.

    It's like saying someone can't be a scratch golfer because if there were then they should at least be on the PGA tour. Me lol am a scratch plus 15 or so on a good day.

    L&S and I don't agree on much but when you are scalping you're just trading noise.

    Now I have a question for you. Why are you so adamant that scalping is the answer. By the sound of it, scalping hasn't worked for you. Aside from the gurus on YouTube selling you a system do you know any successful scalpers.

    What is it about the failure rate that convinces you that you'll be able to beat the odds?

  9. Hello deaddog,

    The game is to be sold, not told.

    Loose lips, sink ships.

    Sell, do not tell.

    No choosing fee, no free.

    Pimp or simp.

    Tease, do not please.

    Thanks

    Have a solid trading plan. Follow it. What's high stress about a 5m chart? 3m? 2m? 1m?
    Find your sweet spot and get busy.

    That's the cortosol. What you need is some HGH from 3x per week 30minute heavy duty workout. And get outa your chair for some movement while you trade.
    Winning some trades can help a lot too, lol.
