    Why I Don't Believe in TA

    vic niederhoffer quit trading and started going into PE and investment banking.. where he made most of his money. everything is subjective, until you start seeing it objectively. Create a chat room, invite some et folks; I'll make 'calls' in real-time (entry, target, stop), if you can't...

    Why I Don't Believe in TA

    It's not a formula, it's comes with experience. How many of those academics your citing make their money from actual trading vs. their book sales? [crickets]

    Why I Don't Believe in TA

    Just because you are unaware of the rules, does not mean it does not exist. again, this is the world is flat and earth is center of universe argument. + It seems like you are the one searching. I find great comfort in knowing that you will die before you figure it out. enjoy your ignorance

    Why I Don't Believe in TA

    academics =! traders... if they knew how to trade, they wouldn't be writing 'research papers' anything of value by an academic never sees the light of day... objective TA exists, may not be objective to you; but it does exist. imo, your argument is equivalent to "the world is flat"...

    Why I Don't Believe in TA

    LOL, citing sources without an idea of what the source is actually saying? When you try to optimize a losing system, all possible outcomes (ie. trying with 10MA, 20MA, 30MA, etc,etc increasing in 5p or 10p increments) will lose.

    Any conflicts if CTA trades personal account with opposite signals frequently?

    Is the personal account funded in anyway shape or form by the money you raise/earned from clients? If I was a CTA, I would manage the CTA account as the primary account. Why would your style differ from trading client money and your own money if you are profitable and consistent? :confused...

    It's what we call in the industry, "cherry picking." Trying to extrapolate, and justify his "value" by looking at past data points-- which by itself is contradictory by OP's standards. But surfer will never admit to his own double standards. He will change his vocabulary, etc, and infer that...

    +1,618 Not a bad day, took a few days off to clear my mind and figure out what i was doing wrong on the loss day. Always good to take a few days off after a good win streak, keeps you grounded and your ego in check

    Full of oxymorons. "Illustrating" -- I like the change of words, are you illustrating value from past data? I thought that was impossible? You are in need of help, very intensive psychological help

    So how is posting a chart from 2007, and illustrating what has happened, not going against your own rhetoric?
