Default Ethics...

Hi,

Thank you for the implied compliment. I'm the co-author of the audiocassette course "Trading Order Power Strategies" (which is about how to place trading orders so as to, hopefully, get a good fill). I can place a trading order with the best of them, but as far as making money as a trader, well... that's a skill I have yet to master.

Did you see the movie "Swordfish?" If so do you remember the cool computer setup that John Travolta provided Hugh Jackman so he could create a worm to help in a bank robbery? My fantasy is having all those screens in front of me, each one showing the live ticks of different markets, overlayed with my custom technical indicators (I like a 15-bar and a 40-bar SMAC along with 20-bar +2, -2 Bollinger Bands), and I'm watching for setups and doing dozens of 3 minute trades every day. Actually all I'd do is spot the setups and, Captain Piccard-like, order my staff to "Make it so" or whatever (only I have more hair and less of a deep voice), and the staff handles the trade entry, exit, and book-keeping.

That's my dream, and I'm the type person that can't live without pursuing a dream.

Best,

- Boyd
