If I counted everything correctly, here is more detailed statistics for June: 17 trades: 10 losses (break-evens included in that due to commission), 7 winners. So we get roughly 41% win rate. Average net P&L per trade/contract is $6. Let me know if you're interested in any other...

There's a huge difference between people who research something and people who do something. My own PhD status and the fact I am 5th generation of PhD's in a row allows me to say with full responsibility that outsider study of any event is far not enough to make conclusions. To perform truly...

No trades today and time to make conclusions for the first month of live report on ET. :) Didn't do a thorough check for the number of trades and other stuff yet (will provide that info later when receive detailed monthly statement), but quick glance on the balances shows net gain after...

No idea yet. Will do the math today when finished and publish.

Markets are reflexive. What moves the price often does it, because... price moved in certain way... circle closed.

Majority of trades, maybe. But as Soros said: "It's not whether you're right or wrong that's important, but how much money you make when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong." :)

Yes, I remember that thread, great one. Learnt a lot from it. Unfortunately it's not much active lately.

No, I didn't mean to say other people can confirm what exactly I use to trade. Rather that blotters et cetera are not fake. As for what to discuss or not, please let me decide what and how to discuss. If you ever wish to start such a discussion of your own methods yourself I will gladly...

Wrbtrader, I honestly don't get your disappointment. Yes I don't share exactly the TA ideas behind performance. But I clearly claimed from the start I only use TA. Not that I'm going to explain how exactly. Of course it may happen so that people don't believe me and prefer to think I use...

I clearly claimed in that thread that only simple TA is used. Performance record shows results of that. So it's the proof (or disproof) of that approach working. Never said I'm going to share exactly nuances of TA approach used. For that different purpose, this thread was started.

Thanks. No problem for me and I'll refrain from that in future. Just wanted to emphasize that there are independent people who can confirm every claim I post here on ET.

Ah, I must've missed that.

This is honestly a weird policy, cause it filters out members who are successful in their trading businesses and leaves full freedom of talk to those who are not (and thus have nothing to mention)... there's quite a difference between mentioning something and soliciting something. For example...

It was mentioned for the sake of objectivity and transparency, because those people can always confirm or disprove my words. And our relationships are not related to the mentioned thread, they were established long before that. Surf many times openly stated that ET led to some highly...

My "problem" with TA being a delusion comes from the following experiment: I more than once also thought what if TA patterns I use are just psychological tricks making me feel good? And applied exactly the same money/trade management rules and all other nuances to different patterns...

Here are results of my live real-time experiment of applying simple TA patterns (very limited number of them, basically it were two so far) for trading my own and accounts of several clients (some of whom I know for sure read this thread and can always correct me if I'm not objective about...

I respectfully disagree, personally knowing people who copied some of patterns I recommended them and are on their way to consistency with the lapses mostly be in the area of discipline than technical side.

But if it makes money... what to do? Drop it? :D

Two trades today. Not that they made much sense for the bottom line... :D
