Makes me wonder... was it by pure accident that it's promoters didn't tell in advance that this "nothing to lose" contest is for a fee? :p

Isn't it nice to feel yourself so dead right about TA traders and see they run away from you? I grant you this feeling for the weekend and won't argue. :)

Pretty sure they would, but it would mean supporting the business model I do not consider ethical enough... Sorry Surf, I will provide proof if I am in the mood, but under my own rules. :)

To be fair: I don't claim it's a scam in the sense of being illegal. Obviously the scheme is clear and likely 100% legal. But how ethical... that's different question.

Hmm... I don't recall claiming to have a SUPERIOR method. :) I use TA, yes. I also use FA and some other tools... But definitely not any superior.

I respect you, Surf, but you know... I am not really interested in proving anything. :) And participating in an obvious scheme targeted to collect membership fees in exchange for the hope is... well, it's a shame :) P. S. I see no problem with proofs, anyone can start a system @...

From their rules: "Deposit will be refunded once all Combine trading days (10 or 20 days) have been completed, if the following requirements have been met: 1. Daily loss limit has not been hit or exceeded 2. Overall Winning Day % of 50 or greater 3. Each product traded has a Trading...

I checked that... You know what's ridiculous? That you mess with that Surf... Because it looks to me like a classic fraud scheme (I am from Russia, remember, we were ripped off by the govt so often that learn to not trust anyone from early years :D ): pay (refundable, of course... if...

I hear there's some competition here? What's the prize and rules? :D

Not always, but basic long-term business cycles of boom/bust as well as many micro-cycles in certain individual stocks and commodities are of this nature almost certainly (gold comes to mind first among recent examples). While the speculator's job is try to predict crowd behavior and the current...

Price can be the cause too, think about thousands of investors joining some stock, because it's rising... But generally you are right, price is effect.... Now let's model the following picture: a boy standing near the river bows down, picks a stone and rises his hand with the stone... This...

Oily is seeking for his true self. That is a noble goal, but also a path full of stones. :)

What kind of analysis would you use then, if not technical analysis?

Do you realize that you just wrote two contradicting statements in the same sensence? :) Do you understand that failure of any TA setup = TA setup? :)

So you are throwing in the towel and ultimately giving up, brother Oily?

If you think of it, people almost always base their current actions upon their previous actions, if it wasn't so, experience would mean nothing, but as we all know, experience is one of the top priority tools in natural selection and individual decision making. So when you look at past...

Yes, I agree. Nothing wrong with it if the method is supposed to be tested which seems to be the case in this journal.

So true... To develop and fine-tune a working method takes time... then to learn discipline to execute it (almost) flawessly takes even more time (if one doesn't drop the method which also often happens in which case deadly circle starts)...

Like golf... 90% mental/10% metal. :)

Well, you are certainly an entertainment contributor. :D
