This is great, I am arguing with some person who trades 100 lots on a simulator. Too funny. asap Registered: Nov 2006 Posts: 566 03-28-09 12:35 PM sometimes i make $100k in one day on the NQ using a sim account at IB, trading 100 lots. i can explain how i do it but it is...

Kid ? Too funny. In all seriousness. How long have you been trading ? When did you start ?

You do know who Ed Seykota is right ?

He sees this as an opportunity to rip on funds which were up 60 to over 100% last year, and are now down 3% this year. Kind of expect this crap from a guy like Surf. It's frightening to think that a guy like Surf actually guides people on where to invest their money.

A bunch of small losers and a few big winners? What a horrible strategy. Try and explain your post to Marketsurfer. Maybe it will sink in.

Ok surf. When you wet your pants and scream out a SURF ALERT, what are you basing that call on ? It certainly has nothing to do with the previous price action. I mean....previous prices are hindsight right. So if a stock like WFC is a short in your mind, it certainly has nothing to do with...

We have an early nomination for dumbest post of 2009. Seriously, do you read this stuff before you post on here.

Why do you always use "retail traders" as your crutch in the argument. Why can't a retail trader use a trend following strategy? What kind of money do these option arb guys manage? What were their returns in 2008? The public are not trend followers at all. If so why did the public...

My point exactly. The guys who have survived in the trading world over the long run are trend folllowing types. While cost averaging/fading/mean reversion strategies do work when the right people use them, it has also ending trading careers/destroyed accounts very quickly. I know a guy who...

I read parts of it. It's tough to read a book by a guy with a huge ego problem who couldn't trade his way out of a paper bag and blown out completely twice with friends/outside money. Like reading a book by Jeffery Dahmer's parents on how to raise a well behaved child.

Surf is on a simulator? You are giving him way too much credit.

asiaprop you obviously don't have a time machine that goes into the future like this guy does. I mean really, how can one base how good a fund is by past performance ?

Nah. I dont trade using moving averages. But if it works for those who do then great. I just laugh at idiots who say trend following doesnt work. They are by far the most sucessful group over the long run. (Trend followers that is.....not the idiots). Keep chasing those nickels in...

Please show me a chart of Dunn Capital's WMA fund over the last 20 yrs + and explain to me how has failed miserably. It's comedy seeing you talk about trading and what works when you have not a clue how to trade.

Yeah...a lot of fortunes were made buying lows last year in the SP. You wouldn't know a fortune if it came up to you and smacked you in the face with a copy of Education of a Speculator.

Where on the Market Surfer family tree do you fall ?

How did I know you were the thread starter here. OH MY GOD !!!!!!! THESES TWO TREND FOLLOWING FUNDS ARE DOWN BETWEEN 1 AND 3 % !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS ARMAGEDDON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW WILL THEY RECOVER FROM SUCH HUGE LOSSES!!!!! TREND FOLLOWING IS OVER AFTER BEING THE BEST...

Bought Oil in the 30's huh? Gotta love ET, where people get in positions at make believe prices/ at the exact bottom.

Spoken like a guy who was a failure at a prop firm. Let it go already.

Thanks. I will have to pick it up. Even if most of the interviews aren't that great, is worth it just to see what Cohen has to say. Suprised he actually interviewed for this book.
