I don't bring dogmatic statements to these threads, like I'm the pope of trading, the way you do. Therefore, I am never in a position where I have to bring facts to the discussion to support an absolute statement. As you may have astutely noticed, I retracted my opinions in the divergence...

Yeah, just use a "random non-linear chaotic strategy of the 3rd kind"against the nimblest minds. That's something nononsense cooked up, if anyone is wondering. On a serious note, the above is wrong. The assertion that 'none of this' can make money is as wrong as it is vague and meaningless...

To Mark1 and other divergence followers I apologize for the above, and wish you the best with what you've learned from this thread. There are better ways to express my disagreement, without resorting to this, no matter how convinced I am. Please disregard my comments on the divergence method...

Not arguing, I'm surprised you missed that distinction. Of course one can have winning trades with such a method. Yet, I was pointing out that it would be very foolish to believe that one can trade full time off of 5min divergences only without incurring nasty drawdowns of the kind that nopm...

Only a teenager or an immature idiot would construe the above as asking for suggestions. I was not laughing at people following this thread, but I'm sorry that your insecurity led you to believe that. I don't need any 'suggestions', thank you very much. So your command to make up my mind...

I think there is a time and place for everything. A time to counter trend ala nopm and a time to pile on a trend. Don't ask Marketsurfer for any help there, he'll try to convert you to his religion, which is... errrrr... ummm, who knows what he advocates, haha. How do you feel about strategy...

Nothing. I just saw this coming 3 weeks back. The infatuation with a one dimensional entry technique which can be very dangerous by itself. A lot of folks got on board, never seen so many posters suddenly agitate over a thread, and then BOOM market trends like a rocket, hahaha. Anyhow, if...

3 weeks later and the enthusiasm on this thread seems to have died down significantly... meanwhile, VIX bounced from 10 to12 on the December selloff and we have had the mother of all trended rallies in a long time. Anyone 'raking it in' with divergences? I wonder where NoPM is now.

As anticipated, $20 was a better entry price, but I'm glad to see that you're holding on. As for the prior post, i have no idea what this guy is talking about, lol

Thanks Easy, Maybe I should ask this as well: let's say you are on the full product, not the demo or playback. If you stretch the window across say 4 monitors, does that mean you can view 4 full screen size independent charts? for ex, a 1min in one, 3min in other, 15min in 3rd, 60min in 4th...

Does anyone know if Howard at Ensign will allow users to have full screen charts across multiple monitors? I've searched ET and found one thread where a poster named Cazzaro was asking how to set up his charts across multiple screens. The answer he got was to 'stretch' the chart across...

For someone who is "still learning" you sure have a lot of opinions... (sigh)

It is a generous contribution to ET,and for this I commend nopm, who stands out as a really helpful poster relative to the mindless/useless crap we see every day here. But I'd like to remind everyone that he has been very open about the drawdown his system faced, which seemed quite large...

Yeeeee Haawwww Go git em Boi

You try to pick bottoms, you get smelly fingers :)

Good point, I was reading up on that... the only other option I know of that can change that linear relationship is Ryan Jones' Fixed Ratio approach, but from one article I've seen online, the method could be outperformed by the fixed fractional approach depending on what the sequence of trades...

for 20 pages, this thread sure has gotten a lot of views. if it weren't for distractors like nononsense who need to be corrected once in a while, the thread would be pure information. I still think we can carry on with the discussion on using a fraction of kelly to size positions, that is...

Re #1: While I enjoyed Mr Seykota's interview in Market Wizards, I don't particularly follow him, nor am I in one of his tribes, which I find bizarre at best. I also don't like the fact that he's charging for seminars when he can supposedly make so much trading. But I will take the little gems...

Awwwww, how cute and nice of Mr Nononsense to be the savior of the subtle minded speculators out there. He scavenges the threads of ET to rid us of nonsense. Now listen up you freak, no one on this thread is claiming to have anything to sell or claiming to have the holy grail. You mentioned...

I'm sure Warren Buffett's "hold em forever" time frame has amazing relevance to the questions raised on this thread... Thanks Nononsense again for the worthless platitude.
