I may have missed it but has anyone suggested testing the system on a different market? Have you tried it on the Q's or the DIA.

I have read the course outline. It does seem pretty general. Do they focus more on day trading or on swing trading? I’d be interested in knowing what their top ten lists were. I see at the end of each segment of the course a 10 Laws for trading success and 10 Survival skill for a trader.

Have you taken the course?

Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it. Will Rogers LOL :D “Buy a stock and when it goes up sell it. If it doesn’t go up sell it.”….Deaddog

Here’s a hint: High momentum stocks that have decent fundies and have recently made new highs are more likely to gap up than they are to gap down. Throw that in your back testing software and see if it might give you a bit of an edge.

OK If it’s that important I have more that you. So what? It doesn’t make me a better trader. By your performance I’d say you were a far superior trader. Why do I think you would be in the top 1%? Because taking 5k to just under a mil after paying tax even over a long time period...

It wouldn't do you any good. You wouldn't trust it. If you want to build your own I'll help.

Sorry about that. I don’t feel that my account size or net worth adds anything to the discussion. I could give you a number but you probably wouldn’t believe me. I make 80% of my money on 20% of my trades. One good winner makes up for a lot of losers. I sell when the plan tells me to...

What do you want to know about my trading plan? It identifies my specific objectives. Gives me a method of scanning for stocks to trade. There is a list of technical criteria that must be met before a stock will be traded. Entries, exits and position size are determined based on those criteria...

Which I will try and answer to your satisfaction. Yes I really trade. Mostly swing trading stocks. I have day traded stocks and the e-minis but found it took too much time. My education has come mainly from the school of hard knocks. Keep trying stuff and find what doesn’t work and stop doing...

I will try and respond: What kind of information did you expect? What the hell is “fluff”? Sounds to me like you did.:D Whether you need to follow the media hype is a debateable point. Personally I don’t but that is my choice and seems to work for me. Did you want to be educated or...

Yes please translate. That’s a pretty general statement. Please tell me what basic TA is? What indicators if any are you referring to? How are you using them or how did OTA teach you to use them? How do you utilize the media? What media in particular are you using? Really AM when I...

So you are saying that you should ignore basic TA and trade off the news?

Can you give us an example?

Let me rephrase the question. How did it costs many of you tens of thousands of dollars.

When you say that it cost you tens of thousands of dollars, did you take losses of that amount of are you talking about money you could have made if you ignored what you were taught?

I keep asking but never seem to get an answer. What did you expect to learn that wasn’t taught? What was taught that cost you money?

Day trading for dummies would probably be a good start. Trading and investing are worlds apart.

Care to share how you got your moneys worth.

Got me there Bill, I don’t understand Maybe you’d be so kind as to explain it. Got you there. I understand starting capital. I also realize that one reason traders fail is being undercapitalized. But what does starting capital have to do with risk/reward or the % of capital at...
