F*&%ing video sites

I recorded my live trade this morning. So it should be simple to let you guys see it right? Of course not. I really really love Jumpcut.com as a site to upload to and share with you. High quality video, large screen capability but the upload times are horrendous. I wait for 2.5 hours for a 25mb clip to upload. Ridiculous.

So I figured I would go back to Revver.com - super fast uploads and if you click the ads at the end of the video I make enough in revenue to buy myself a sandwich at the end of the month. Only problem with that site is the video goes through the approval process. Well thats where it is now. Since eleven o’clock this morning.

I can see if my video had potentially illegal music or naked chicks dancing around but it’s just some stupid nerd talking about the chart on his screen. Please please please revver come up with some sort of fast track approval process for users with a good track record. OK?

Anyway……todays trade was with the YM which is the ECBOT contract for the Dow 30 stocks. It’s tick value (1 Dow point) is $5.00. I used this today because a reader had emailed me asking if this would work like the ES. It does.  And as the reader had noted there are strong proponents of the YM over the ES. No matter what you trade know that instrument inside and out.  Know the setup you use and have reasonable expectations for actual trading results.

I will get the video posted as soon as it’s approved so you can check it out.
