I hear you. You make a ton of good points. My problem is he inserts himself in these threads all of the time, so it's tough to ignore. You are 100% right. If he is friends with the guy he will agree no matter what. While I think Sykes act is ridiculous, he takes the same approach as any TA guy...

How about instead you stop inserting your beyond overstated opinions in every damn thread on this topic ? Why should every person on here have to place you on ignore instead of you stopping with trashing all of these good threads ? Why should 99% of the people on here have to do something when...

Thank you. This is my point. He has made it well known to everyone on ET his feeling. Everyone on this planet knows where he stands with his opinion. Enough already of invading every thread where the letters T and A pop up and poisoning the thread. Baron basically threw him out of hear for...

Impossible to prove something that you go around saying over and over ? So then how can you say it ? So basically you have nothing to validate your claim. Nice job Surf. Keep up making yourself look like a fool.

You never answered when I asked you for PROOF that TA does not work. Apparently my tone was too harsh. So please, with sugar on top, can you show us your evidence that TA or PA does not work ? And don't say "go to collective 2" or " I have read some research"....let's see some concrete...

I know guys who still overnight and do very well. It definitely has a bit more of a gambling mentality. I think when swing trading you REALLY have to pay attention to position sizing. I also like to come into the session each day with a clear head. When I overnighted a lot of times I was dealt a...

Market Profile is a VERY powerful tool. I have used it in the past. One of the best traders I was fortunate enough to meet and trade next to for a short time (the guy is in a lot of books/magazines. He has made a fortune trading futures) used MP as his main tool.

Thanks man. I lived in Chicago for 10 years. I screwed up and never did much fishing after I left the North East. We had a house right on The Beaverkill River in Roscoe NY. Spent from when I was 5 until my early 20's fishing there. Every weekend from April 1st until the fall. There was no...

You look at the fact that PAST data implies the next move in the indexes. No different than guys who use PAST prices in a certain pattern to imply a certain move in the indexes. You are doing the same exact thing as TA guys. Sorry dude.....it's a fact you won't admit to.

Surf has his Price Drivers (aka Price Darts). He has a bunch of indicators (Econ data, COT data, market sentiment data, etc). When a certain amount of them have positive or negative implications in the stock market he creates a signal. Based on how many are pointing that direction he gives a...

Why don't you show some actual FACTS that guys who use PA don't make money instead of repeatedly running your big mouth about how it doesn't. For the love of god either show some evidence or STFU already. Do you have any other purpose on here besides the same old bs ? It's beyond old. I don't...

Every trader deals with the same (or very similar) tax issues. That's irrelevant here. Commissions, yes, if someone does a ton of day trades it can be a problem. For my trading commissions come out to about 5% of Profits each month. It's a non issue. I guess it depends on one's definition of...

Day trading is actually the easiest type of trading...if...and this is a big if.....one has excellent discipline/risk management. The problem is a lot of people who attempt day trading have no discipline. That does them in. You also must be able to keep your emotions in control. Otherwise you...

Go Steelhead fishing if you make it up to Lake Ontario/Salmon River area in upstate NY in the winter. I think I remember you saying you fished for Salmon up there. Steelhead are by far the best fighters I have ever caught in freshwater. They spend half the battle in the air. I used to go up...

I thought it was from Bloomberg too. But you do have a history of saying day trading doesn't work. That's a fact.

I traded ES at the firm I was with in 2000. Was not trading Crude. That being said I am sure it is trading faster today. If someone was able to scalp Crude for 2-3 tick trades back then , then yes...they would have major difficulty today doing the same thing. But I am talking about scalpers...

I know plenty doing very well. These are guys who have been in the biz as same as me. 20+ years. We don't have some automated script for exits. If you could trade futures 15 years ago, you should be able to trade them today. The whole "markets move too fast" is a lame excuse for failure. The...

Thanks man. Didn't think of that. For Surf's sake I really hope it isn't.

Please answer some questions. Prove me wrong. Seriously. You can shut me up. Why did you post this article? What is the purpose of posting an article about a day trader who lost roughly 1500 dollars ? What are your thoughts about the information in it? It says the trader lost money in the...

Dude. You go out of your way to say people can't make money day trading. You have done it for years. It's all over ET. Here you start a thread about your whining buddy Altucher bitching because he stopped making money day trading...
