Not rich. Made my own money in the market, through a lot of study.

I think the message you sent me was way out of line, Brian.

That e-mail you sent doesn't apply to the netiquette code. You know, it
might not be me doing this, it could be you. But it could be someone else
framing you. Whatever the case, the topic is over as far as I can see.

You mention fine upstanding reputation twice. I am not altogether sure
anyone
actually has a fine upstanding reputation on a mailing list. We're just
traders
who contribute to make a list come alive...

Anyone who has been in computers since 8, and is 24, obviously knows things.
I don't have time to gather viruses, and launch them against you. When I
was
17, I sure would have, but I have grown up. However, if anyone knows how I
can launch one into the IRS's computers, please drop me a message. :)

Is this the same Brian who was debating vigorously re: Java with me? No No!
This cannot be. You're sounding like an angel. Come on... bring out that
pitchfork,
I know you want to (grin).

Probably not adviseable. I have more than one system. It's for those who
realize the limitations of windows on the mind. Gets out cobwebbs, enables
one to think differently about computers and information in general. It has
benefitted my trading because it enables my mind to continueously grow.

TradeStation 4.0
BMI RealTime
Main: Dollar Index, Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc, British Pound.
TIme-frame: 3 days or less
Indicators used: none
I use price action and analyzing the markets with my eyes. Some trendlines
to
make it a bit easier, and realizing if it doesn't go up, its going down, and
if it doesn't
go down, its probably going up and taking that into consideration with a
variety of
different viewpoints based on looking at charts during different times. I
study the
market constantly: With my bagel in the morning, my bagel for lunch, and my
bagel
for dinner. :)
I don't trade everyday, because not everday is worth trading. I look for
high probability
setups and then I bet large with stops that keep me in, but don't crush me
if they are hit.
