Sniper,

Thanks for the timely post 11 months after my original. I stand humbled before the great trader of them all -- sniper. I've been trading for a MM for 9 years but perhaps you could teach me how to read Level 2. You obviously have a firm grasp of the trading mechanics and I don't know anything (MMs often hire people like me who don't know anything -- that's how they stay in business, you know).

I don't see many "traders" on these threads -- only a few. Most people in this category come to bitch and moan about some personal experience they have. Some are warranted without a doubt. Many are not. However, they don't want to hear why or learn from the situation. They just want to have a forum to say they got screwed. It's easier than admitting they don't know jack.

You are obviously a truly gifted "trader" (just ask yourself for prove). You should consider writing books or a newsletter. Then everyone could learn from the great sniper and aspire to be like you. I know I'd buy it. Wade Cook watch out -- sniper is here!

You say I've got an attitude and sometimes that may be right. However, you came off like a real tool with your unwarranted name-calling and pompous use of the word "trader." Give me a break.
A real trader does it for a living -- that's doesn't include managing your own portfolio. Employment as a trader is what I mean. How many trades do you do a day?

I'm sure you'll respond in kind to this and that's fine. However, I'm not going to respond back and get wrapped up in a pissing match for the next 2 weeks. You stated your opinion and I responded to it -- once. I'm movin' on.
