Obviously you didn't watch Million Dollar Traders. Get informed before spreading more of your ignorance. You already been embarrassed on the Sykes "my $5 million mansion" fraud.

It's right there in the pic you posted. He claims the house is his!

Tim Sykes: "my $5 million mansion" ! LOL

Given that only two of his BBC students were successful, that takes a lot of chutzpah to claim bragging rights for.

So are we to believe that Jack, who's been trading longer than most ETers have been breathing, is making $1mil a day? And if he's not, why is he posting this manure?

You're talking to a global-warming denier. Don't expect much intelligent back-and-forth.

Wow! Trading software can't get simple indicator formulas right! That's breaking -- no, wait ... that's actually old news. Carry on.

The measurement of a trend is entirely dependent on sampling rate and sample length. In other words, there is no such thing as the trend. There are trends within trends and they can go in either direction and be of any duration. So yes trend analysis can get complicated ... but it doesn't...

You seem to have it but just to clarify, you need a minimum of four points. For an uptrend, the second and third points must be higher than the first point and the fourth point must be the highest of all of them. For a downtrend, the second and third points must be lower than the first point...

"Count me in ... but I'll continue to cite reasons why it shouldn't be done.". LOL. Yeah, real convincing. I haven't fallen for that ruse since junior high. How old are you again?

Which is precisely why I suggested using Journal threads but you had objection to that as well. Methinks you're just afraid you won't make the cut.

You seem determined to judge by the exception. The tiny fraction of the "verified profitable" members who turn out to be flaming assholes is no reason to nix the idea, this website already has flaming assholes. What the badge means is that a member with one offering advice probably knows what...

Dynamics measured with daily data. Every bull market has downtrend days. Every bear market has uptrend days. What's happening with 5-minute data doesn't resemble what's happening with eod data.

Over 100 million views. :cool:

What seems obvious to me but apparently not to some others is that you encounter different market conditions faster with faster sampling rates. Every trend day is either a bull market or a bear market for intraday data. What requires years to encounter on a daily basis can be encountered in...

These anti-journal objections are downright silly. First we have one guy who doesn't trust anybody who keeps a journal here, which says far more about him than any of the journalists. Then we have a vendor raising some heretofore unheard-of regulatory boogieman. Have I stumbled into some...

OK as an alternative, how about a journal with live calls meeting a set level of performance? Sure there will always be some shoot-from-the-hip troll claiming bogus posting or whatever but the onus will be on him to prove it. With a journal demonstrating good performance over 50 trades or...

Uncool. Anton is an asshole, that came through in the Million Dollar Traders seriess.

Ridiculous. You talk like timeframe doesn't matter but it does. You don't need 2-3 years to get a significant sample size with 5-minute data.
