<i>"Care to answer and help the trading community?"</i> How would that help anyone? <i>"That's more like it. I knew you were a man of reason."</i> But of course I am. As a trader, you're hopeless. End of story
And you are a storyteller who dreams about success when you obviously have none. No successful trader would spend the hours you have posting in this forum just to kill time out of boredom; that's a red herring if there ever was one....unless, of course, you don't have a life. I have a vision of you sitting in front of your computer with a box of triscuits and can of Raging Bull at 3:30 a.m. searching the threads to hear yourself type and then becoming self-absorbed in those posts by re-reading them over and over again. I have dozens of patients like you, so don't feel you're alone. Congratulations in advance when you surpass the 1000 post mark, which I suspect will happen before the clock strikes 12:00.

Very impressive. I'm a RedBull and Wild Irish Rose kinda guy. I dunno, it adds something to the awe of seeing my words in print here, for the whole wide world to see. Imagine that... my own forum here... someone actually pays attention to me! If only I had a life. Ya know, a home, little money, half-decent girlfriend, hobbies, pasttimes. Nope, none of that. All I got is this here forum to idle my time thru. I know, it sounds pathetic to a medical professional like you, what with all those patients you counsel & everything. I'm busted. You win. BTW... I've got a friend over in another thread you could probably ply your skills on, too. Here it is: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76297 Direct your expertise toward the OP... he goes by <b>Trader28</b> He's probably sleeping right now, but will be very glad you stopped in to set him straight. That much I can assure you of. Thank you for all the help!
I think it is better to be logical myself. Your posts sound straight out of a Napolean Hill book. The first test of logic any potential trader should apply is- what are the odds of my success as a daytrader? Multiply that by the potential rewards; Divide by the initial investment of time, energy and $$$, and it is quite a logical decision.. Perhaps one realizes that daytrading as an occupation is not good decision. Otherwise, PMA can ruin a man's life.
No successfull shrink (is that whay you claim to be?) would waste his time here asking what indicators some one uses on the 5 and 15-min time frame while in the next breath saying daytrading can't be done. Go away. ET doesn't need you. Do your patients even need you? Are you really a shrink or whatever? Give some proof. I bet you can't. I bet you work at McDonalds during the night shift as manager for 22K a year...LOL...
I was trying to get a successful trader who bragged of his winnings to share some things for others not me. But he didn't. I don't trade and if I did, it wouldn't be with indicators. But most traders do use them (with no success I might add). My proof of being a shrink is as good as this proof of success posted by that bragger. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1392349 You can believe him, me, both of us or none of us. Your next happy meal is on me. I assume your young enough to qualify for one
<i>"My proof is as good as this proof posted by a neurotic poster"</i> OK <b>123</b>... 'fess up, please. What have I done to offend you? Define "neurotic poster"... I've been here about 350 days and logged roughly 1,000 posts. Please help me out with some intermediate math: how many average posts per day is that? BTW... have you dropped in and said "Hi" to <b>Trader28</b> yet? He'd be really excited to hear from you, rest assured.
If one uses 'posts per day' as a comparison, you significantly lag his 23 posts/day with your 3 contributions per day average. Ironic, isn't it? - Spydertrader
