"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Yeh, personally, think IB is fantastic.
The execution, data feed and commissions are as cheap as hell and very reliable (not many bad ticks) and quick.
All securities, futures, stocks, options, forex, bonds, worldwide, 70 different countries I beleive (though I don't trade in nearly that many).
No monthly fee (so not like Trade Station), only data feed (so exchange fees), which is also very cheap in comparison to other platforms.
Charting sucks, so you will need to hook Amibroker or Metastock up for this.
Easy to use and all types of orders.
Only thing I miss (but don't use much now as I look for swings, don't trade intraday often), are the market internals I used while with Trade Station.
Gaucho.....do u normally trade CL ? Thats quite a bit of contracts to buy and hold overnight on CL. How the hell do u sleep at night carrying almost a half a million worth of crude ?
Na, I normally trade the QM, but then again, RARELY will buy the underlying itself, normally stick with the equities. That being said, I use the ASX and WPL as the US does not have many oil producers per se, more simply oil services. I also check whether the stock moves in correlation with the underlying, as some do not.Wiesman44 said:
The reason I will buy CL is for one reason only, IF I am going to hold out of regular hours, as liquidity is greater. That being said, I DO NOT SLEEP if I have a few contracts open, like to watch the patters and momentum. If worse comes to worse, I will just place my stop and sleep in cash hours when liquidity is high and I don't have to worry about too much slippage if my stop is triggered.
Good few nights? This is absolute chop chop chop! Not good days for a swing trader such as myself, barely a swing to catch! Trying my best with mainly shorts open at the moment, 8 shorts and 3 longs infact open for now, but nothing is doing much.
I'm looking for a breakdown of the indices over the rest of the week, but this resilience is starting to get me edgy. Oil is cooling off again now, perhaps I can catch it's next run, if it comes to fruition. When it does, I expect gold to really explode this time around.
Now lets see if this lasts. Could very well find new lows by end of day, but it looks less and less likely
edit: Market most likely hit a bottom here. Buy @12122 and make some bank.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Looks to me like the indices are forming a high tight, downward flag, ready to break. Any movement below the low point of tonight on high volume and I will short the YM.
Oil doing well, and the indices seem to have correlated themselves to this, so all the better, for now............
Been good to me lately, found a few runners!
A short on SMG has been fantastic! Check out GW, looks like it may be ready to breakout again soon! Got in just before it's recent breakout and have a buy order for a second portion set at 9.49. See how we go.
