I'm not sure if he was the first to utter the words, but a guy named Harry Truman said: "If you want to know the future, study the past". Of course almost no one pays any attention to what he said.

...hmmm...hmmm. I like yoir thinking... IMAX... hmmm... ...wonder what that would cost... hmmm...

Well, it took forever, but my broker (IB) FINALLY credited my account with the two-grand I sent in! ( Can you believe that it took over three weeks to clear a perfectly good 7-11 Money order!?!) So I started trading about three weeks ago – influenced by my new hero, Mister Jack Hershey. So...

Do you fine folks ever read your own posts? How is it that I am a blind follower of Guru Hershey, yet stand accused of not trading by his rules - rules that to a man you all say that you cannot understand? And you have the balls to say that Jack is convoluted!!! In so far as I am...

Nice trading, dawg:) I didn't do as well. I just was not "in the zone" this morning, and when I "got into" it this afternoon, the best I could do was a couple washes (sigh). admittedly, the war news has me spooked... Too bad none of this works, and can't be understood.

Not quite - in other words, I was correct in saying you had not read it - yet you have no problem attacking him. You are without shame - and God knows, you could use some.

wally, your image needs no enhancement from me - I assure you.

No wonder you can't grasp Jack's work - you havent read his thread. The answer to your question is there for all to see - along with lots of wise ass posts from you.

Sorry to have taken you from your backtesting. BTW - have you ever found anything that works with all your hard work?

Yes wally, I called you a jerk - and I stand by it.

Backtesting is for those who like to think that their computers can answer all of their questions. Basically people who can not take responsibility for their own trading decisions, and want hard fast rules. My experience has been that such individuals are more interested in playing computer...

Interesting points - just one question. How does one backtest a chess strategy?

Please excuse my French, but wally, you are a jerk. If and when I want advice on who to follow or who not to follow, I am sure that I could do better than you.

It seems to me that if one wanted to go to the core of Jack's credibility, one would discredit his trading ideas, rather than to harp on an irrelevant point. Not one of his distracters have attempted in any way to disprove the validity of his methods, other than to say "I can't understand...

One more thing... What the hell does Jack's failure to provide you with a list of his books have to do with trading?

Can you give me one good reason why Jack should provide you with a list of his books? Suppose he never wrote any - does that make his trading ideas less valid? Suppose he provides you with the entire list - will that make it possible for you to suddenly understand his work? This is...

This so called poll is offensive. Whatever respect I might have had for you is gone.

Fruity, since you have basically pronounced Jack's methods to be bogus, I can only assume that you understand what he has posted, and therefore need no further help.

Fruity, this may come as a shock to you, but this is not a rigid method of trading. If that's what you are looking for, you are not going to find it. When you get what appears to be a signal, you must verify it with the price/volume action. The same is true for exits - price/volume action...

Fruity, I don't think it's going to work for you. Everything you need to make money is posted in this thread. Clearly you doubt what Jack is passing along. That's cool - but don't blame Jack, it ain't his fault.
