There is nothing wrong with honest vendors, and he seems to be honest enough. He even asks this board readers if they would pay for this system implementation in WL and TS. Fair enough for me. The only problem I have with vendors or tutors is their blatant dishonesty, they either overcharge you...

Yes, but a chop in one timeframe can look like a trend in another. It's good to look at more than one time frame if you want to have more profitable trade setups of the same kind.

That's interesting... and somewhat spooky :eek: because I just thought about a system like that yesterday as a generalization of the first 30 min breakout system that was presented by Natalie and Mike in the thread called 'The importance of simplicity'. There is another system of this kind...

I am based in LA and trade ES. Who do I need to contact to work for your firm? Are you in Santa Monica or in LA?

That's not the way it works, the patterns do NOT repeat themselves that regularly, you are trivializing the thing. The point here is that they repeat themselves, but there is more than one pattern and so you don't know in advance which one is going to occur, what kind of symmetry you will...

1. I think it was Niederhoffer, not Lo. 2. As far as excusing Gekko this way, I think that's by far the lamiest excuse I have read on this board.

I believe you made a mistake by starting trading your system with 4 contracts. It does not look like you have guts to handle so many contracts and this interferes with your system. So why not start with 1 contract and let the system do its job and then increase the number of contracts as your...

There are simple systems that produce consistent profits, but systems do produce large drawdowns and so require a considerable discipline and some capital to withstand them. Not everyone has these two things, or even one of them. The weak link in system trading is not the system itself, but...

I agree, trading and running a fund are different things. Yet another thing is to teach someone how to trade. You can be a good trader, but a lousy teacher. I have met great researchers in my special field that were very poor teachers. I don't know how good a teacher he is, but that's what...

There is a difference between having an opinion and expressing it. I have discovered some curious thing: the less some people have to say, the more they talk. I would not bet anything that I am the first one to observe this. And that has nothing to do with Cathy... Also, I am not a member of...

Yeah, I use wide stops when I want to catch bigger moves. The stops are 6 pts away from my entry, but my targets are 9 pts away, so I will make money if only they get hit more frequently than the stops. That's what happens. I use some system to do that, the signals it gives are unfrequent...

Isn't it what I suggested to you on some other thread when I was talking about 6 pt stop-losses that I use? And my targets (I probably did not mention it then) are 9 pts away from my entry, which is not necessarily what you want to have, but who says this does not work. Guess what? The targets...

this board pales in comparison to misc.invest.futures where I used to hang out years ago and perhaps I should start doing it again. I mean, there is much more information to be found on the newsgroup than on this board. That is actually to be expected, the newsgroups have been around for...

so here is the entire text: From: Rrrooobbb (rrrooobbb@aol.com) Subject: Re: Todd Mitchell Exposed! View: Complete Thread (6 articles) Original Format Newsgroups: misc.invest.futures Date: 1999/02/21 Her is a List of vendors who I have asked to show account staetments and...

I wish I used the newsgroups in the past more frequently. That way I would have avoided at least one 'total joke' on this list: (see the link) http://groups.google.com/groups?q=todd+mitchell+group:misc.invest.*&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=19990220230505.08149.00001325%40ng-cg1.aol.com&rnum=7

Thanks for the tip, I used to use the newsgroups a lot in the past. wally_

Thanks for the links. When do you expect the version with the automated trading execution to be out? BTW, there are systems for blackjack, so called card counting systems that give you a decent edge over a casino dealer. Such systems have been mathematically worked out, you can also do...

Sure, but most so-called professionals do not trade live during seminars making money for their attendees, if that's true what he says. And if it really is true then he is exceptional. I don't know if that's true, so cannot comment any more. Also, the better you are the more likely you are...

I somehow did not have this experience, well maybe one window popped up. I guess this might have been so because I did not try to close it... I found one more reference to this guy on the web, a brief but positive one. Still waiting for more feedback.

Who is that guy? I have come across one person on this board that recommended him. He seems to be more honest than most of them in that he offers a 30 day money back guarantee for his course that is priced at $995. Needless to say, that's a lot, but seems to offer more than what you can get...
