If you like Zangers style of trading,take a look at HGSI(high growth stock investor) or Quotes Plus Stock Picker Pro program,which is a watered down version of HGSI... That is how Zanger screens for stocks.He then applies charting analysis,basically pattern analysis

I would strongly suggest you take a look at StrataSearch and order the demo version.IMHO,it is the most unique product on the market and I have looked at almost everything

Commiebat, You need to trust me that Buy1sell2 agrees with me,otherwise he would be all over me like a cheap suit..In a polite way. He is the champion crusader of NEVER scaling out.I am pretty sure he would look at slicing delta as scaling out.... For the record,when firms apply a delta...

If you halved your delta,you have effectively halved your position..no ifs ,and or buts....Of course you have a different terminal payoff,but that has nothing to do with ones current delta. In your examples,you are introducing gamma and vega into the equation,and that changes...

Its not really a generalisation.If one unequivocally states that one shouldnt sell half the position,than one would have to believe that rolling ones position from a delta of 90 to 45(selling the vertical) is not prudent as well... Your example is short gamma,and thats not an option,no pun...

B1S2, As i have debated this topic wth you before regarding cash instruments,I would strongly disagree with you regarding option trading. Your rigid stance on not "selling half" implies you should not sell some of your deltas if you are an option trader.That would dismiss buying a...

Sell a vertical spread and roll your option up,i.e the 90 /110.. Sell a vertical spread and sell an additional call so you are now long a call spread Or simply buy a put/put spread at whatever strike you like,i.e 110

Can we please change the title of this forum to Rcanfeil has a major hard on for Prof Logic and needs to rub one out Amazingly,I am still here after 167 pages of rcanfiel's man crush on the Professor

Rcanfiel, As you are the OP may I humbly ask what is your definition of T.A. working vs not working?? Is it simply outperforming a benchmark?? Is it risk adjusted return,or some method that incorporates the volatility of return?? I am a little confused as to how you view "successful"...

I will grant you there are much easier methods of making money than picking direction,and non equity niche trades are definetly one of them.... I am a bit slow,but it appears you may be a believer that there are people who employ T.A. successfully,but not nearly as Prof and JH would have us...

Surf,at one point I thought you had some connections to the hedge fund world,but it is clear you dont... What do you think the quant shops do??? What sort of algorithms do you think the mean reversion type trades employ?? Automation is the norm,not the exception...... I think you and...

How in the world does it appear that Prof Logic weaseled out?? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nobody is paying anyone. Stop trying to throw up flak and distractions. Now please address the Terms and Conditions post so we can get this show...

Yes. Why did you think trying to compare penis sizes has anything to do with proving or disproving TA??? You asked for my track record.I responded... Longterm studies of the value of TA are pretty pitiful. Quoting your resume does not change this. It is not about credentials and belief...

Surf,I think we both know that trading is a very difficult business in which it is survival of the fittest..I am with you 100% regarding the "exceedingly impressive" returns of traders taking out 9x the average range. I dont believe it for one split second,but that is only my beleif system...

I did enough research and testing of my own to make it "clear" that TA is pretty much of a lemon. Since it appears that you are still attached to the TA umbilical cord, that says enough about where your failures lie. And BTW, where was your own track record, again? In you eyes,it is a...

From Rcan Why do people feel the need to lead off by saying stupid things? You know nothing about my trading, so saying it for effect has none. No. The only way to know if a technique "works" is to apply rigorous testing before throwing away your trading capital. Your way is the method of...

RCan, Is it safe to assume you have actually traded technically at one point in your career and failed miserably??? For all the hot air that escapes you,I am sure you aware that the only way to really know if a technique works(or not) is to step into the ring and "get it on"... There is...

Your crusade is a bit ridiculous,to say the least. Dan Zanger has done exceedingly well using pure T.A. You will find 100 reasons to the contrary,but he is the hugely successful trader..not you Do successful traders really give a shit if their wealth is derived from soley T.A.,or from an...

I too seek the truth..... I have a feeling we may have to seek elsewhere to find it...

Rcanfiel,I think you are on to something...There should be an "Elite Trader" trading showdown..Its time to separate the posers from the traders... There should be consensus from those involved as to the rules of the contest.Lets attempt to make it as "real" as humanly possible,and not some...
