    Perfect example of why Al Brooks is impossible to follow

    yeah, it is what it is, perhaps if i were born with different genetics or personality traits i would have recognized the comedy of his "method" sooner, like maybe a month after i picked up his book.

    Al brooks says breakouts provide the largest edge for a trader yet...

    funny enough he has called his exits in real time often. but never the entry. in his room you'll often hear, 'just got out of the rest at 4pts' but the entry? nothing.

    Perfect example of why Al Brooks is impossible to follow

    In his book he writes.. "The one-bar selloff at the Bar 9 M2S (a Low 2 at the EMA) was followed by an inside bar signal bar, creating another Breakout Pullback short entry on Bar 10." Ok, here is the problem, what he calls a M2S is simply a second push down off the EMA but guess what? Bar...

    you might be right, i thought i heard him say 13 contracts. the only thing that matters to me is why haven't we heard what AL is making?

    judging by some of the posts on his website it does not appear that any of his followers are making 100k or 20k for that matter.

    and therein lies the problem. for a guy that talks and talks and talks and writes and writes and writes, and talks some more, and writes some more. we still dont know much. its all a hazy dense fog. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obfuscation

    Al brooks says breakouts provide the largest edge for a trader yet...

    to be honest, im not sure what you're getting at. either a) he is making 500 dollars a day (10 pts x 50 dollars per pts 12.5 per tick x 4 ticks = 50 dollars = 1 pt) and using 13 contracts to do it, as in averaging in and out with 13 being the max. OR b) he is making 6500 per day...

    no he didnt mention the strategy he was using. all he said was his friend was making 10 pts per day trading i believe 13 contracts because that was his comfort level.

    he also said the friend that makes 10 pts a day stays at i think 13 contracts is what he said, because that is his 'comfort level' :p if im making 10 pts per day for years, you better believe my comfort level is going higher than 13 contracts. its all so bizarre.

    Al brooks says breakouts provide the largest edge for a trader yet...

    yes that is an example of not losing much but smaller edge al says time and time again he only takes quote 'high probability trades' because he does not like to lose. but he cannot point to all these high probability trades. if you read his stuff on his website, its, that might be ok, this...

    dont forget, he still has a friend that makes 10 pts per day. that is a claim straight from his mouth. also, he clearly says he goes for at least 1 pt but mostly 2 pts.

    Al brooks says breakouts provide the largest edge for a trader yet...

    lol, i cant tell if you're being serious or joking around. tight stop and 90% win rate is a mathematical impossibility. a while back i actually had 90% win rate for about a couple months and made many trades. i didnt have a stop though. that didnt end well.

    Al brooks says breakouts provide the largest edge for a trader yet...

    right, anyone can make 15 trades per day. but, many days without losing, that IS a spectacular claim. with all the stuff he's written over the years, i cant find how that is possible for an individual trader at home using his mouse and tradestation charts. also though, he did clearly state he...

    Al brooks says breakouts provide the largest edge for a trader yet...

    where did i state that brooks said he made 10-15 points per day? find where i said that. i said he takes 10-15 TRADES per day and has many days without a LOSS. you dope. go back reread what i wrote, then go slap yourself for not paying attention.

    Al brooks says breakouts provide the largest edge for a trader yet...

    he straight flat out said he takes about 10-15 es trades per day. and has also stated without question, i did not hear him wrong, that he has many days without a losing trade. thats what he said, im not making this stuff up. now you could argue some of those trades are scaling in, some are...

    Al brooks says breakouts provide the largest edge for a trader yet...

    we make a big deal about him because he claims to take about 10-15 ES trades per day and says he goes many days without a losing trade. so its worth examining these claims. he also claims the edges are small, how can the 'edge' be small yet you do not lose? again, makes no sense to me. that...
