That would depend upon what you mean by "follow." If by follow, you mean copy, then no one. If you mean advice and guidance, it would be Jason Alan Jankovsky and Peter Brandt. Despite the fact that Brandt is an extreme long term trader, his ideas translate into shorter term trading because he...

I have to agree. Backtesting can conclusively show a system won't work, but it cannot prove it will work.

I've heard about this system, chiefly because I'm usually the guy on the other side of these trades. :(

So many things to respond to, I am reluctant because something in my response will likely offend. Let us begin with I agree. However, much of what I believe about trading is conditional, so when I say anything, you could get your feathers ruffled when we are still in agreement. Therefore, let...

I have to think you are asking because you believe you have a prayer's chance of succeeding at trading, a profession which is the single most difficult profession in the history of mankind. Therefore, unless you are ignorant or delusional, someone with your cheek has the power, you are probably...

God I love this site, so many intelligent people.

Love that quote about everyone lies. TA isn't worthless, it's just nearly worthless for what most people use it to do, to predict the direction of price in the trade at hand. So I'm not really disagreeing with you, I am a TA trader, and I have one foot in both camps, TA is worthless (most of...

Every chartist goes through a stage where he tries to learn everything there is to know about technical analysis, so this is a good time to make a personal observation that can save you a lot of time and frustration and money. Trading is a lot easier to learn on very short time frames because of...

I didn't want to read your reply, assuming it would be something ugly, but you just made my day, thanks.

The high road, ON THE INTERNET? Perhaps I've misjudged you. Maybe, just maybe you've misjudged me. In this format, everything seems more critical than it was intended. It might me a good time to press the restart button. I spent many decades of my life studying politics, until I finally...

Aren't we just a little touchy in our defense of the IRS? Ok, Commissioner, I didn't know this was your personal blog to sing the glories of the federal government as they destroy your markets (this site does concern itself with markets, right hot shot?) and very currency. "Go vent your...

You are kidding, right? After the Louis Lerner scandal, how could anyone definitely make ANY statement at all about the IRS? Look, when a society ages and becomes corrupt, corruption, like sewage, seeps into every corner of society, politics, business, media, you name it. Our society is...

Okey dokey, if it works over a large series of trades/time, that is reality. Everything else is opinion. Of course, the game changes as we play it, but results add some reliability.

how much can one save with refurb? That really got my attention.

Professional advice beats telling the auditer "But some guy on the internet named luvs2spooze told me this was legal." :)

I don't know, however there are accountants who specialize in trading. I'm sure you could get a thorough answer from someone like Michael Green. I think his web site is something like greentradertax.com

General observation: Inasmuch as a lot of the big trading wonks say "keep it simple" I have come to the belief that if you can't see your indicators and the price clearly on a small screen, you have too much happening and are not keeping it simple. Caveat: I have three time frames going, so...

It's not true you have to lose a lot of money to really understand trading. The risk intollerant pay their dues in seeing everyone else make money. Either way, you've gotta pay your dues, so if this was you, cheer up and stay away from those perma bear sites so the lesson sticks. I'm risk...

Unfortunate, because equities have a definite bullish bias to them. All the big players, the Fed, the Treasury, the banks, Big Money, and the financial press have a vested interest in squeezing the shorts and keeping the party going. The institution of shorting was invented to provide a ready...

I'm a trader, not a stock trader. John Persons tells a great story about meeting John Murphy on the streets of Chicago and razzing him because he abandoned commodities for stocks. Murphy gave it right back to him, saying "I'm sorry John, but I'm just smarter than you. I went where the money...
