Do you honestly believe you need an ivy league degree to become wealthy?

I look at it this way. People ultimately earn what they are worth or no one could afford to pay them. If anything it should give you an optimistic viewpoint. If that kind of money can be made by many people you could also make that kind of money. You just need to develop a plan so that can...

I get my market data from Worden Brothers. I have for over 10 years with no problems.

IMO it doesn't matter. If anyone risks half their account on any trade other than trading on absolutely "insider information" their risk of ruin is guaranteed.

You are looking at the s&p 500, I am looking at the total stock market.

The market has humbled better traders than you or I. Just when you think you have it figured out I promise you that you haven't. The name of the game is conservation of capital with decent returns, not pie in the sky returns. Anything that you can make in one day you can lose in one day.

I backtest those tidbits in trending and non-trending markets both bullish and bearish. You detrend the market, I backtest in all market conditions. I keep track of every trade I make, and what trading method I used. I basically keep score for each method and in what type of market it...

You keep talking in vague generalities which tells me you haven't applied anything. Why don't you just admit you were blowing smoke up everyone's ass. So tell us, it taught you the correct way to think about TA. What was the correct way, and how have you applied it?

I have been ignoring your question because you are a very polite and sincere person, and I don't want to tell you how I really feel. I will not go on amazon and write a bad review on the book, but I think anyone who is thinking about purchasing this book should first find it in a bookstore and...
