    My "claims" that I've been trading since 1998 and trade using proprietary TA and am consistent in my trading are hardly unique. I've never once mentioned the $ figure I avg per day. Why don't you let Mav say what he uses to make his trading decisions. If he trades using TA, what then? Oh...

    You're moving the target, sport. Until today, it was ANY TA trader and now it's only ~4 of us? LOL. I bet ya Mav has been trading as long if not longer than me. He uses TA right? I don't know for sure, I don't know anything about his trading other than what a few others posted here. If Mav...

    If this is true, Surf has NO ARGUMENT anymore. All he's "demanded" is for just one TA trader to show a workable method. Surf, if Mav is successful, will your world just end? How will you deal with the fallout of being wrong?

    You keep saying "only upside" but it's only downside for those of us who enjoy anonymity and do NOT need funding. You are just being a broken record here.

    Haha, actually 2008 was my best year actually (2009 was close). Of course, that shouldn't come as a surprise. Put an experienced trader in a market where the vix was high and ranges large, and good things should happen. You were probably in middle school then? I'm a very content guy. I...

    I mentored two traders about 6 years ago. One on one, every day for about 4 months. It was grueling, but I feel good to have given back in some way. ET is not really the place for it. You can try and help but you'll usually get smart ass responses back like "you're something special!" when your...

    To give you a few more details, I look at multiple time frames. The larger frame is the one that provides the signal, the faster one(s) is/are used for entries. I've been trading since '98 and in that time I have worked on and developed a method to catch pivotal moments in the trading day...

    Two losses yesterday, .09 and .03. Both were reverses at inflection points. Both longs were reversed at the stop prices. Those two reverses were nice winners. 2/4 on those trades, only 50% win rate, but the winners far outstripped the losers. 12:30 and 2:35 were the longs, reverses came shortly...

    The TWO points you raised about joining the combine were: A) To gain exposure, to get acceptance and praise within the industry and B) To gain access to capital to trade with. Repeatedly, I've told you that anonymity is what I enjoy (and have since 98') and I DO NOT NEED capital to...

    Just because Surf can't trade doesn't mean this thread isn't entertaining. In the end, it comes down to being entertained between trade setups.

    A SIM trading combine is a JOKE...UNLESS you are a noob looking to prove yourself and get funding. Or as Surf always says, about being recognized as a titan in the field if you succeed greatly. He's an egomaniac who wants respect and attention, I prefer remaining anonymous and earning a very...

    I've never once thrown out the $ figure I avg per day. I ALWAYS say that TA CAN work but it depends on how you use it. My only claim is against those who turn their nose up (very verbally) on things they do not know or understand.
