Starting it off.

So, I looked up and 'The Player' walked by, all casual-like, pulled off his headphones which were playing some Charlie Daniels something or other, and he looked over at me and said: "And that's how ya do it, son". I think he was mumbling something about spoons, or no spoons, or something like that, I don't know...

'The Player' is taking heat. Will he be forced to cover for the first time since we have been watching him?

'The Player' told me he just added another 100,000. That guy is nuts.

I'm thinking this is going to be the first time 'The Player' has had to cover a play. We'll see.

That Player just looks calm, sipping on his Dos Eques. I think he's crazy.

I teach very, very differently than pretty much anybody. It sure is unique. For the few that can learn this way and 'get it', I think it can be highly effective.

I added another post to that thread. Please, everyone, even if you don't post but read in here, go vote them up. We need some positive energy out there to cancel some of the bad. Thanks.

In case you don't understand what I mean you can click up to the left of the poster's name. Make sure it increased the total, not accidentally decreased it.

Now notice how when this was in the climax phase I was trying to watch it and do my own thing, but also throw out everything it might have seen or reacted off of so they could be looked at from a management standpoint. Each one should/could have produced a reaction. When they didn't, or the reaction was super-weak, it was a clue to be patient on the scaling. Let the trailing stops carry the day (my old 'when you have a tiger by the tail' philosophy). That's what the methodology indicates. Just so it's clear that it wasn't a lot of random guessing, or looking for areas to switch to the long side. When it's unfolding that fast that's the best I can do, just call out everything I see. It would have been a lot easier in a voice chat.

What a nice move in here right off the .382/KZ. Love that KZ.

Here's some homework from today, as it relates to the lesson I was trying to teach with 'The Player'. Here's some lines from the best trading movie ever, Rounders:

[Mike Narrating] Doyle Brunson says, "The key to No-Limit is to put a man to a decision for all his chips."

Teddy's just done it.

He's representing aces, the only hand better than my cowboys.

I can't call and give him a chance to catch.

I can only fold, if I believe him. Or...

Mike: I re-raise. I'm all in.

Teddy: Take it down.


The italics are mine. Now ponder on this and see if you can figure out what 'The Player' was thinking.

Cable in my 'target' 1.4660-70 zone.

However, it is cleared now, so 1.4750 might be hit today,

There is a potential fractal indicating, that correction to 1.4510-30 might be a play now.

And here's the new topic. Everyone please go there and vote that up (if you think it is good). Also, I added a post to the above one thread, so make sure even if you voted before you go and vote up that one. I know there are more people reading this than four, so please, everyone, help me out. I need to make sure that they don't seem vulnerable to down voting and we get the positive vibes going. Thanks.
