Maybe I am just feeling a bit sour after a bad day at work ( good day in the market for me,...so no that's not it) but I think you guys that don't use TA and charts trying to prove or disprove that TA and charting doesn't work reminds me of a saying I learned long ago, and to me it's been words...

"Clarence" on the Right and lowly little naive ET users on the Left

Fair enough. As a swing trader that uses TA exclusively I understand not sharing methods but at least a chart would make more sense for a thread entitled "... Swing trades thru TA" (my 0.02) Not that you asked but both your trades may work out depending on your stop loss price since I agree...

Um,...ok. So your first trade is a very thinly traded airline under $7 and your second trade is on a definite uptrend but at the extreme upper end of trendlines. Chase much? I am not trying to flame here but shouldn't your posts about using TA provide some TA in their reasoning? Why would we...

Question 1 = yes Question 2 = no To purchase said system will cost you $1,000,000,000. Seriously, these BS threads should be deleted as soon as they appear. Doesn't ET have a policy to review the first few posts of any new account? If so, why do they even allow this stupid stuff to be posted...

I will stick my neck out there and say I disagree with most everyone except Redneck and Handle123 here. I had the same problem as you and I THOUGHT I had an edge because some trades turned out perfect and others not so much. I was break even for about 18-20 months trying to figure out WTF was...

Jack Rab and your friend are right. There is no reason to be gun shy in trading your system because You actually did NOT trade your system and that is why you have a black eye. Had you traded it correctly and followed your rules you likely would not have a black eye. Trade what you see. Don't...

Yes but most are thinly traded. DBC is a substantial volume traded ETF representing commodities which include sugar, corn, coffee, and soy among other things.

Yo lo tengo...

It seems it would be helpful to learn as trades mature by seeing open trades that are successful, but since it's your thread I will contribute one more. 54% gain in less than 3 1/2 months. Not too bad.

Lol...yeah ok. Whatever you say. I am a trader. Believe what you want. I think you would be better off calling your group "Serious Douchebags"

Well yes. "SHE" is usually fun to ride when she is going your way. But when she fights it's not as much fun and can be quite costly unless you get a prenup (stop loss) in place before you go out with her.

Yeah. I have to say That I thought this "Serious Trader Group" would have been a positive thing to have like minded serious trading talk. But instead even THIS thread has degenerated into arguing and name calling and BS elite trader drama. I retract my wanting to be a part of this. I'll continue...

This is an OPEN TRADE from today. So far so good. But will see how she turns out.

I think this can be productive but would be more helpful if you posted all the exits not just where you ended getting out of the trade. Stop loss and potential target price are exits that determine exiting on worst and best cases. Why not post those on your trade too.? If you have none, then...

I would be interested but I am a swing trader not a day trader. So I may go days before I have a trade and then several days that I trade frequently. I tried to PM you but your profile is private

So,....you lied in your very first sentence of your very first post when trying to get money for data that is likely useless. You lied because you do not trade so don't say " fellow traders...". In addition, if you think you would make lots of money from this why sell it? Make the money...

Actually, having read most all of his books (some several time since) I am pretty certain Van Tharpe recommends 400 samples for sufficient knowledge of a system and he recommends not to trade with less than 200 samples but you can get some idea if a system is worth pursuing after only 100 trade...

Trade what you believe. I believe my squiggly diddly lines and a healthy bit of voodoo works for me and my accounts PnL statements agree.
