Thank you very much for posting these Brown...I have to say that these are among the most powerful photos I've ever seen. As a former Marine, these pictures hit very close to the heart....just incredible VV

hey guys, I am new to this posting thing so please bear with me if I don't get it quite right the first time (trying to become a reformed 'lurker'). I am very intrigued by Wolfe Waves, and been trying to learn about them for the past few days. I would like to post a 4 minute chart on todays YM. The 4 minute TF is new for me (usually use 1 & 2 min), but wanted to try something new - swings instead of scalps maybe. I drew this WW in real time on the 1120 (central) bar. As indicated on the chart, 13840 looked like a good entry so I entered a limit order at that level. Based on the WW that I drew, I realize that looks to be a bit early/high, however, it looked like I would only take about 9-10 ticks of heat on the failure of this pattern. As it turned out, it missed me by 2 ticks, no big deal as I was happy that I was able to see this in real time and it appeared to be a valid pattern to me, UNLESS....my perceptions on this particular chart are completely wrong. I have some limited experience with various markets but I consider myself a beginner at trading and I would be grateful for any feedback on this. Thank you very much, VV

brown, in pokerstars lobby, login of course, click 'requests', then 'find a player' who you are looking for. I have tried this as i've not had a need to find anyone. I usually am in the 5/10 pot limit hold 'em. For a long time I would make good money/chips here and then lose them all at the 100/200. Now I spend most of my poker time at the 5/10 PL. The interesting thing to me is that I go through periods of 'draw down' just like one would see in trading, but I always seem to bounce back. I guess thats why I like the 5/10 - still can make money/chips with limited risk to your main stack. hope this helps and hope we can get a few people together for some friendly poker. won't quite be the same though w/o the whiskey and cigars but fun none the less....I'm in if you'll allow me VV - atcneo

thank you James I am here to learn, and I guess that makes me a lurker, and I'm sorry if that is a problem for some. I would love to be able to contribute here and hope to have something to contribute someday, but I still have a lot to learn. I have tried to contribute in some other ways by becomeing a premium member in hopes of defraying some of James costs, and giving $150 to the leukemia walk. I realize that this pales in comparison(to say the least) to the contributions made here by Soultrader, Brownsfan, WalterW, Torrero, Reaver, just to name a few. It is not my desire to 'leech' off of you guys at all, but, to me this forum is a large part of the gateway to get to where I want to be, trading for living/business. You guys are there now, and I will get there - hopefully WITH you guys. I am very grateful for this forum, and hope to contribute when I've earned the 'right' to so. Thanks to all! :beer: VV (I only mention the monetary contribution to humbly illustrate my attempts to give to something worthwhile - it is easy to give money away, more of a challenge to earn it I think - sort of like respect maybe)

I could not find a way to have a private game on Pokerstars. But, I think if we have a set time, and the right number of people to fill a table(s), we could just occupy one or more of the open tables...would be fun, but not private. An okay book for poker, 'Zen and the Art of Poker: Timeless Secrets to Transform Your Game ', happens to be a popular read for traders. I really like the this idea as a great way to possibly get to know some people here and just have fun! I have tried many poker sites and like pokerstars best, I dont know why really, perhaps just the interface. VV btw, I am 'atcneo' on Pokerstars , some people call me 'river rat' for some reason, I don't know why:rolleyes: , if you want to look me up

Introduce Yourself Here - Don't Be Shy!!
vae victis replied to trading4life's topic in Beginners Forum
Hi all good people of the TL forum. It is time for me to officially introduce myself on this forum. I have been reading this forum for some time now and I am very thankful to all y'all who contribute so much here. I am an air traffic controller in Texas and have taken up trading to help me relax:doh: I have a little less than 5 years left of my 'sentence' and will be trading to keep me busy. My primary focus was on the ER2 until they moved and now trying to learn the YM. I hope to someday be able to contribute something to this forum, but I have a lot to learn. Thanks folks, Vae Victis
