Re: Profitable Trading: Show Me The Numbers

I have never been one to tell someone that their approach is wrong.

If my post came across that way ... I apologize. Point of fact, I apologize for typing in such a fashion that would lend itself to that understanding.

I am not a sophisticated trader.

I still hand draw my charts (daily, weekly, monthly) on K&E rolls (or equivalent), keeping separate weekly and monthly charts and certain of the different options (eg: May-May, July-July, Nov-Nov, etc.).

I still call my broker (guys actually older than I am and ... ).

So, computerized charts, five minute or nanosecond charts, and business plans simply don't fit into my methodology.

Perhaps, my disagreement with your approach ... business plans, goals, etc., was simply based upon envy.

Wishing you the best, I remain

Very truly yours,

Living Under a Bridge
