    simple context too......as explained by Brooks.

    it will not make you a great trader but it may keep you from losing and give you time to learn......i agree there are market conditions that require a great deal of finesse.....markets will do anything to take your money :D

    it takes some experience to know a 'good set up '

    actually, i had given up totally. then i fell from my 2-wheeler....and i was in bed for 5 weeks.... watching serials on Netflix....

    and then i had this idea why do i not trade, to kill time......

    amazingly, for some reason ,i understood what Brooks was saying all this time and i am trading much better than before.
    giving up so that you start with a clean slate has helped me a lot even in my golf

  5. Hello padutrader,

    Thank you,

    But sir, trading should not be this hard, do you think? Just stop and think, all the knowledge you have with Brooks, do you really think trading is this complicated?

    There are three things you are missing in your trading padutrader, but if I tell you, then I give the holy grail away. And if I tell you , you will not believe me anyway.

    I will be the first ET member to reach ES 100 contracts. And the process is not really that complicated.

  7. Hello destriero,

    Well my old pal, I can only tell you what I know. Us retail traders are working beyond tooo hard, when it is much more easier.

    If you think about trading all together, there is no way it should be this hard.

    Overnight

    And three pages ago I told you what you don't know, and you shrugged it off as nonsense. You basically are calling people who don't trade 100 contracts in the ES cowards.

    You're in for a REAL treat when you start. Can't wait to take that journey with you, as theme-park tickets are kinda' pricey these days...Why spend money for a thrill ride that goes off the rails when i can engage in that here for free?

  10. Hello Overnight,

    I never called any one ET a bad name in my life sir. I am always kind to everyone on ET, not sure where you get the word coward from. Why would I call someone on ET before I never met before a bad name or a coward? I do not know you guys and gals.

    LOL, yes, I am in a real delicious treat trading big size ES contracts. Yes, I am.

    Agree, no need for theme park tickets, become the theme of the park!
