Multiple Personality Disorder? :D

High expectancy trading based on technical analysis of price action is the second most counter-intuitive thing I've ever done in my life. (The first was turning my wheels in the direction of a skid.) Surf, despite the fact that your articles seem to focus on a lot of technical analysis, you...

I have no idea what he does :p

In my personal experience I've found that my momentum strategy not only has a higher win rate, but the profits are booked about 3 times faster. The only time mean reversion seems to work as reliably and quickly as with-trend momentum is when there's a wide range. I occasionally take those...

Oh dear, that reminds me when I'd embarked on a complete "reset" of my trading and decided to trade really small while I actually learned to trade properly. Someone posted a reply to one of my small P/L reports, something to the effect of "what happened to days like this?" followed by a $3200...

I've had quite a few people thank me for sharing price action concepts, research methods, and plan development ideas, and at least four of them shared with me the trading plans they subsequently developed. I don't, however, see a lot of "Thanks for those real-time trade calls; thanks to you...

It's no worse than believing what I think :p :p

I had no trouble with that link. Your reputation must precede you :D :D (The results are impressive, BTW)

Anyone can predict price will do anything. You just say, "I predict price will go up from right here" or "I predict price will go down from here" or "I predict price will go up to point A before falling to point B" and so on. No one can guarantee their prediction will be accurate. A...

I already shared my highest conviction price action strategy with you. It's up to you to study it with the instrument of your choice, compile the stats for various levels of entry (close of pullback bar, price turn off key pullback level) and styles of entry (limit or stop entry), and decide...

I was thinking of you during the strong morning trend :)

I was replying to your comment, that's all. 1a2b mentioned that people trade a losing system and to me a system is an objective method. I didn't understand (and still don't) why someone would trade a losing system with live money. After a successful backtest, I assumed the trader would then...

Back off, Austin, he's mine :p

I can understand if someone based their decision to trade a system on a computer-based backtest, because we ran bunches of those, all wildly profitable, and in real-time simulation couldn't do better than break even. I ended up doing all my backtesting manually, bar by bar, and the results...

Why would somebody even trade a losing system? To me a "system" means something that's organized. Why trade an organized method of losing money? Winning systems are not uncommon; I've spoken with many traders who have a plan that, if applied, results in net profitability. I've had traders...

Last time I checked, in the USA there's supposed to be evidence prior to an indictment..

You are way too kind to be a "mean" reversion guy. :p

Consistently profitable trading definitely flies in the face of human nature. Human nature wants to get in at tops and bottoms (get the best possible deal), and human nature will be imprinted with the memory of times when it succeeds in doing this because of the huge ego gratification that...

Good idea; although I recommend everyone get a heart-pumping, sweat-producing workout every day, day trading through major news releases doesn't count :cool: http://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php
