    No real logic if you read it thru!

    I am a fool, that is so true, but I am a very happy fool :D

    I was able to get the information that I set out to get, and the reason I got the information, is because, I done the exact opposite of everything you mentioned that I should do!

    So, going on the basis that I don't lie, and I have no alternative motive like most, who is the real fool!

    nyse,

    if I may suggest, don't waste time on exchange of wits....

    while you have not spilled your beans, I have not problem with general pattern of your thoughts...even if you look around in the world, you see majority of people eating, thinking and doing things mostly wrong (always claiming that they are right)...some of your statements remind me of Sufis

    You see Rabbitone, people are not to be blamed for what they do and do not know!

    Think about it - they can only deduce from the information that is available to them.

    Applying logic to this situation, it is apparent that for one to make rapid progress one needs to be able to differentiate between what is "normal", and what is "abnormal".

    Which one would you pick - the normal or the abnormal?

    Have no fear TraderD, wits or twits, it makes no difference to me in the least bit :D

    "There is method in my madness"

    but it is not what most think it to be!

    Any experienced trader (and I am not talking $K's here) knows a good deal about what I speak, but there are but a handful that know the real truth.

    1) Most traders do not have a clue about how to take money from other traders on a daily basis.

    2) Volatility is nothing more than wide ranges on a chart - you do not need Mr Boloxinger or any of that rubbish to help you pick the money from the palms of other traders.

    3) You do not need to know the intricate workings of order flow and how options, stocks and futures trades interact.

    4) You do not need to look at Level II to try and see what MM's are doing, for most of the time they don't know what they are doing themselves.

    5) S&P pit futures traders use 10 min engulfments to position and create fungible trades - no, I do not say fungus trades!

    You must look to the past to see what the future might bring!

  9. Yeah, you're right.

    I'd only give it 1/2 of a star myself ... :)

    6) BLASH and SHABL about 90%

    7) BHASH and SLABL about 10%

    8) The only think you need to watch in relation to your trading activities, is your bank account.

    9) Do no confuse Twits with Wits, for they are completely different - the Twit usually knows absolutely nothing and the Wit thinks he/she knows nothing, but unknown to himself/herself, the Wit knows a great deal about everything.

    10) A widely used setup used by S&P pit traders is, and wait for it, as most traders will not have a clue about what it is, it is OTF
