    Cornix's TA Performance

    Wait .... what ? So you think betting the house (or 90% of it, referring to your YM short call) is the proper way of doing things and not extremely dangerous to noobs ? OMG:eek:

    Custom/proprietary indicators?

    Checking all those indicators is like going to a grocery store. You've got your apples, oranges and bananas that are available. But the (really) expensive shiny pink apples coming from some exotic place don't necessarily taste better than the cheaper ones. Let alone you would actually find a...

    Forex Hacked ?

    The picture of the equity graph gives it away. There are some ugly spikes to the downside. If you like 40-50% drawdowns, then go ahead:D Probably reckless (or no) stop loss management. Graphs like that are a sign of something waiting to blow up. Just my 2 cents, JP

    Surf's Special Situation Journal

    If we just look at track records, I remember seeing a 3rd party verified track record from Cornix some time ago. The more you are reminded to this, the quicker you seem to forget. :D

    the politically incorrect truth why TA can't work (for you)

    I've read somewhere here that someone tested "all indicators" on their computer systems. As nothing usefull came out of that (or at least nothing that made money consistently I guess), the conclusion was made that TA/indicators etc. don't work. Who am I to disagree that so many things don't...

    Why does TA not work (for you)?

    To share some of my own experiences with TA, and more specifically with indicators: As an observation I notice that most people (as appears also in the examples above here) use a single timeframe and watch for their signal there - whatever that signal may be. This is trading without looking...

    fib. expansion and retrace in forex

    Wow... Shopster is explaining his method from A to Z and all you care about is some stupid XL sheet with some profit numbers on it and you somehow manage to mix the word "respect" in that same sentence.:confused: If you still don't get how it works by now, I doubt posting some profit...
