Unfortunately, you are mistaken. Just as you won't reveal the components and how your system works I won't reveal mine either. We are just going to have to agree to disagree on this issue.

He proclaims he does not know everything, but then proclaims that if he doesn't know something it either doesn't exist or we are FOS :D

You're still not getting it. I'm not saying I have access to MORE data, I'm saying that the way in which someone strings together a bunch of rules (could be 3 could be 100 or more) to create a system and all the inputs out there at ones disposal creates a near infinite combo of possibilities...

Again, it doesn't matter how much of a genius an academic is or how much insight they have into the topic they are writing about; if they do not have all the data at their disposal to test, then they cannot come to a definitive conclusion. The OP simply cannot get that thru his/her head.

Then they clearly do not understand what I do. I trade trends, intraday, that line up on multiple time frame sets. Each set that produces a trade is based on a new starting trend on that TFP. Intraday it's not noise but perhaps if you want to go over days/weeks/months etc then I guess you could...

Usually people do their due diligence, read and analyze a study first, before posting it and proclaiming it gospel. This is usually protocol if you want to be taken seriously :) PS Ever been to Wolfgangs Steakhouse in the 50s? I'm maybe going tonight.

Which invariable leads back to the idea that you cannot test something you do not know, aka a proprietary combo of inputs and trading rules.

He cannot get it. He has walls built up in his mind to protect his misconceptions from any scrutiny.

You got a lot of "crickets" to this post because everyone (but you) seems to understand that charts are just visual representations of data. :)

Well, then that validates my point further. Why would people trust anyone posting their calls here if they have a 30 min window "into the future" to decide whether their call is working or not. Just opens the door to deceitful practices, especially if the goal is to boost ones ego or to gain...

When your time horizons are longer, then this is less an issue (as you describe below). HOWEVER, many people trade on very short term time frames. Many of my trades last LESS than 15-30 mins. Just saying that, because there are many ways to trade and the durations also vary greatly, the "live...

I never understood this "live call" thing on a website that gives one 30 mins to adjust posts. Not suggesting that Surf or others change trades or delete posts if a call doesn't work out but the mere fact that one HAS 30 mins to play with a post is evidence enough that we should take live calls...

The Chinese only own like 1/15 of our debt

Nice find, TT. Thanks for sharing

He was insufferable as "Dalmation". Good thing he stopped posting under that handle.

Hmmm, and a certain poster who has a dubious track record here at ET just proclaimed today to be "super bullish". That makes me nervous :)

What difference does it make? Stats build charts, whether you look at the charts or not is irrelevant if you are using the data to make trading decisions.

I hugely disagree, this was not uncanny. Many pundits made the same type of call during this time

The "top" was in October, not May. Also, who cares, this is 6 years old.

I should apologize, I didn't mean to say you are a noob, only that the system is a noob.
