Day trading and staying out of trouble in river city


Well the first bar trade works just fine.....the market popped out and took off then had the three little indians.....pullback and then it happened....the worst thing a daytrader faces.......CRAPOLA....first you don't know it's CRAPOLA until you have given it all back trying to either go long and get stopped out OR...go short and get stopped out and soon you are "TICKED OFF". Your lagging indicator is still giving you that "magic" secret setup and by the time you get in....it's over. Then you get another setup.....and you don't wait for the dang thing to trigger you just go in....and get hammered again. Does this sound close to home????

Have you ever looked at the trin? Well, I would read up on this subject when you have time because there are three zones.......SELLERS, BUYERS and CRAPOLA. Anything between .80 and 1.20 is CRAPOLA....but more important is take a look at the ema on the trin......it's FLAT....that is the tell tale of this idea. At least by 11:30 or 12:00pm at the latest you can see the market is CRAPOLA. What do you do?

Pick the crap up around your office, give the dog a bath, wash your car, make your loving wife dinner or just take a nap. But don't run thru the house naked with a sharp knife in your hands or click your mouse on your desktop to make money.

This is a great blog site. Thank you for your sharing. Your home is awe inspiring to say the least. If you dont mind me asking, I am curious have you made all of your money as trader?

crapola worked out very well for me, just scalping the range in the ES

I hear, in the back of my head, Kenny Rogers singing, "You got to know when to hold'em, when to fold'em and to scalp away".

I didn't make all my money trading, we had a yard sale last weekend and I picked up $84.70 after spliting with the wife. Of course, I had to buy lunch but money is money.

I have always been my own man so to speak, owning working and so on. But when I found my secret sauce, WELL, the rest has been history.

SO YES, 99.3% thru trading stocks, bonds and futures.,

CLUELESS ON LONG TERM: I would wait for the real estate market to bottom out and invest there. The word would be FORECLOSURES!!!

TW CCI TRADER: If it is helping you and he is straight up about it then I would sign up. If it's crap, you're losing money and he is playing game..WELL, there are a few of those around but without me being involved.
