1. No STOCK NEWS, TV, INTERNET, NOTHING!
2. Pick one instrument. ES is good or TF, or YM for example.
3. Use ONLY NT's "Basic Entry" for all info for that instrument.
4. For tracking info, pen and paper. That is it. You record whatever you want, but you can only get data from your brain and the Basic Entry Windows.
5. No cheating.
In the interest of good will and holiday spirit I seek to find out if I can produce profits in a fashion that was discussed earlier today . What I will do is enter the ES at the NY open with a hypothetical market order either long or short using the following variables....
Long - if my two teenage sons cooperate with one another and myself while getting themselves off to school .
Short - if they dont cooperate and irritate one another and/or myself .
I'll know which direction by 715 EST
Then exit with a hypothetical market order at 1600 EST .
If they are off from school for any reason - no trade .
This is in good fun and I hope Mike dont mind . I bet we all would like to see what happens . I bet that it wont wipe out an average account although I wont use a stop and will assume an unlimted account size .
