Makes perfect sense!

It was just that last night...it seemed like something very, very heavy was going on when you guys were discussing it. Sounded like there were all types of "squeeze" about to be inflicted.

Yea, I cant tell you how many accounts I saw the same thing happen, over and over again. Start out trading bondos and spooz, then the CAD, corn, and sugar, then down to mid am grains...the mid am was your last stop, before you faded into the sub 100 balance....

Really gotta be more attentive to trades, maybe not as much on replies...

Boring!



I honestly can't count the number of times, pips, dollars or euros...that I've missed out, or messed up, because of yammering here. I could never work a real desk. I like it quiet in my room, but noisy at my fingers!

Nah, it was just that just before the announcement, I was seeing 2500/cont. on a trade that went on, and when it came time to take it off, it was double that. That was like 240 ticks up; nearly the full margin, which meant that a short put on at the 2500 was then way under water on the full.

What happened, obviously, was they pulled the day trade margin, which I never even knew I had, which was a "duh" given the market.

Nice bounce off the 200m5.

Dayum...sounds painful...like a wonderful waterslide with razor blades appearing the lower you get.

Tell me this, mofo... How do you know about Prince George, BC? Is that really a requirement for someone on the desk, or you just like to know what you know, because then you KNOW it?

No way a noise trader can fight that in the long run. It's the green zeros on the roulette wheel. However slowly, they take it all.

Two questions...
Big fan of the islands. And of reggae. I was embarrased I didn't know Jimmy Cliff, but I couldn't play You Tube on that old machine is my only excuse.

I'm not going to be able to stay long enough to make a decision regarding shorting this thing. The 200m5 rejection wasn't that strong, but I don't want any more here. Just going to put the limit in again over 36 and get it or be happy with what I've got.

He knows that because he wasn't a lumber trader. He was a sawdust in his socks lumber trader.

just like I know Buckhorn, Stoner, Stanley, Kamloops, and Frasier...if you trade lumber, you gotta know some people in BC...

Prince George is an important starting point for deliveries, lots of deliveries and prices are quote using that as a starting point...

We are below support now, but my M5 is starting to look topside hungry...

We should just hammer into full on sales mode according to the M1 though, at least to double tap new support...

Okay, the limit's in. I could put in some complicated OCO MIT order below here, but with my record of late, all that would happen is I'd end up being long soybeans or something. So this is de plan.

Bid this thing up there and then dump it.

Good night.
