You know why the old veterans are not posting just watching cause it is not time to start trading yet. 5ysfx told me last night to hang it up until the next year. I am still doing some scalping on for sure trades but not nearly as much on long over nighters due to that advice and previous advice.
Thank god I never heard that advice before

No matter how good you are or how well you have done in the last few days I will put my trust in their words due to how many times I have seen them be right as compaired to myself who is wrong 49% of the time. So I am happy to at least heed their advice.

Since you were a institutional trader before you can do what ever you want but until you post here a few thousand times I would not shun the words of the ff masters.

Speaking only for myself, I'm not "trading" in any of the usual sense of the word these last few weeks, partly becuz the markets are not to my liking, the price action is too random and spiky, and the time spent chasing a few pips will probably be out of all proportion to the effort. At least that's what the last 2 years or so have taught me. ((I did poach 40something pips yesterday tho to see if I still could... wore me out))

I'm not posting much for all the reasons above and the fact that it's a lot more fun to read and post on cesar's bs thread than anywhere else these days. Dropping in on this one is partly out of habit right now and to see how folks are gettin on...

In addition to all that, family, friends, and food trump everything including pips, charts, and whatever else one wants to call this holiday market. So where's the problem?

If you don't take a break now, or some other time of your choosing, you will likely break at a time not of your choosing. But hey, trade on!! There's a pip out there somewhere with your name on it...

thats about how I feel
I got 60 or so last night with a tight trailing stop while I talked the future with my fiance.

Gained 33 early this morning on that 100 pip spike upward got out way to early but happy with 33

Lost about 10 later this morning getting into a trade too early then finally getting about 25 or so on quick second dip down on double my usual lot size due to the almost guarenteed pips

I am sitting at work now getting paid to trade so Im happy to watch it go up and down but I do listen to those who have been here before. My stops are tight and my exposure is little.

Happy Freaking New Year Guys/Gals
Hope all of you have great success in 09

"ff masters".... good one.

Kp, that made me think of what some folks who manage to successfully summit Denali ((20,320ft mountain in the Alaska range)) for the first time, when they get back down to the Fairview and drunkenly proclaim "they conquered" it. Right...

How some of my friends, the professional mountaineering guides who led them by the hand all the way up to the top and took their summit picture describe it is more like "having learned how to respect and manage the risk, and enjoy the challenge while living to tell about it afterwards..."

The difference between the two perspectives is the difference that ultimately makes the difference...

Picking up some things here that help you move forward from those who already beat their heads against the wall until they got it is excellent, but at the end of the day, I doubt there's really much difference between any of us still here except the size of the lumps on our heads. That said, I'm enjoying your posts...

I would rather look at your lumps ask you how you got them and at least try to avoid those pitfalls rather than incuring the lumps myself with a live account. I have already had some success listening to you guys analysis and applying it on some of my own. I havent been at this long but if I keep this up I may be doing this mostly full-time in 18-30 months.

So if you dont agree with the applauds thats fine but from my perspective living in the great planes even a small hill is a mountian and for you to have even climbed that it makes my own journey at this pale in comparison.

Sound Good?

Well I get off at three today so Ill see you guys later
