I think that was a dig at marketsurfer whom you brought up earlier. Surf was a big advocate of "Price Drivers", whatever the hell those are.

Please explain what you mean by trading "super small". Are you talking about penny stocks? Thanks.

Then shouldn't this thread be in the Automated Trading forum? Just sayin'.

This is silly. Out of a thousand new users, if the edge is real then the number will soon grow to a million (What are the chances of not at least one mook among the thousand shooting his mouth off to anybody in earshot? Zero). Pretty soon the edge creator finds himself competing with many...

Wow. Is this drunk posting or drugged posting? :p

Wow that's breath-taking audacity! Yes it would be "cool" if the upperclassmen in your school did your homework for you. It would also be a fairytale and not a particularly good one. I look for strategy ideas but not strategy details; there's a difference. "Trade with the trend" is a...

Because they haven't learned how to trade skillfully. I don't think they want to fail, they just haven't figured out how to succeed (yet). Some people have psychological barriers. They think a losing trade is somehow a revelation that they are "bad" or unworthy. This is often the result of...

Yes but apparently xelite777 has a conflict with that. Why else belabor the obvious? Of course we trade to make money. Duh! The point is finding the trade method that best suits you. The OP stated his preference but apparently xelite wants him to go another way. Why?

It captures 'a' reason why we trade. But there are many different ways to trade,and I seriously doubt any trader is comfortable or expert in all of them. There's no conflict between catching mega trends and making money, unless one is just naturally inclined to be against trend trading. Some...

You didn't say what you're trading but let's assume it's stocks. 2 months times 21 trading days per month times 6.5 trading hours per day times 12 5-minute bars per hour equals 3,276 bars. I'd use at least 6 months unless you're trading forex (288 bars per trading day).

+1 I've long felt that statement "There is no perfect crime" was only spouted by idiots and ignoramuses. If nobody ever finds out about it, that's pretty damn perfect IMO.

You're completely missing the point. The investors want to put their money where it will get the most bang per buck. They were told these fund "gurus" could outperform the market. The gurus ain't outperforming the market. If you don't like the S&P 500, then use whatever other index you...

Agreed. These guys claim special knowledge, insights, etc. If they can't outperform Granny investing in some SP500 index fund, then wtf.

Good luck to you as well. If you're trading Jack Hershey's system, you need it.

Here's how you post when you really want to enlighten people. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=280889 I'm not a fan of dbphoenix's system but I am a fan of dbphoenix. The man is smart, sincere, dedicated, organized and clearly serious about enlightening his...

You couldn't be more wrong. The lazy one here is you. Somebody claimed with good reason that Jack's verbiage is a waste of time. You say that's not true. Then you say we should do the research to prove you right. That's assbackwards. The burden of proof is on *you* to demonstrate that...

It sounds like you work in a sweatshop. No pay raise and no time off in three years. Is that even legal in the US? You definitely need a better job, even if you don't quit to trade full-time. Fwiw I've worked for more than one woman and for more than one man. The best boss I ever had was...

This thread is an IQ test and the OP has failed it ... epicly.

LOL! Of course poor surf didn't have a technobabble system to shill to suckers. His Price Drivers never caught on like promises of 3 times the daily ATR. :D

Yikes! And there's this: "I will tell you people a little secret : Jack Hershey gets paid to post because his ramblings attract a lot of attention.“ -- Tony Jack Hershey's Incomprehensible Method
