Until the lens of experience focuses information, it does almost no good. No matter how much the marketing machines of the Information Age would have us think otherwise, information by itself isn't power: knowledge is. And turning information into knowledge requires more time, experience, and...

And yet BS sees fit to ridicule him for doing the work that only a handful of those who frequent this site do and have done. It is to lajax' credit that he can ignore all of that.

Since one can't illustrate what hasn't happened yet, the outcome of a breakout or reversal or retracement must be shown in hindsight. Only the trigger for the trade can be shown in advance, which is what I've been doing for the past month, eventually with big pointy fingers showing where to buy...

What BS seems not to understand is that a beginner -- or a trader who's been struggling for a while -- who is trying to learn something new, or at least different, will, one hopes, go through a period of observation and experimentation and "play" in order to become familiar with what he's trying...

Anything posted can be faked. The trading plan cannot. If there is one. Which there usually isn't. If there is, all one has to do is follow it to determine whether the posted results are reasonable or not. If they are far different from what one might reasonably expect from following the plan...

And yet these charts are hindsight charts. Fancy that. And no plan beyond trading squiggles, none of which provide signals except in hindsight. Which is why the charts are hindsight charts. In real time, things don't always work out so pretty. The SLA/AMT, on the other hand, is rules-based: one...

You love being a victim. And what does Christianity have to do with any of this? As I said, the conflict began before Christianity, but you're only interested in whatever reinforces whatever you believe, so why bother doing any "research" at all? Deaf.

And kudos to you. Not that I'll ask you anything about your trading. And woe be unto any who dare to do so. I'll just take your word for it. :) (Bet you never imagined that your little acknowledgement of Brooks would garner over a 100 posts . . . )

If you want to believe that it's all about religion, you are certainly entitled to do so.

Speaking of lack of proof . . .

I said nothing about Christ or Christianity because neither were relevant. When I said that they didn't do it for Zeus, I meant that there was no religious motive. But since your view of all this is so warped, you see slights where none exist. Your embrace of victimhood is awfully tiresome. As...

Not everyone knows how to draw a range, but anyone who cares to can learn how to do so. It's not as if it's an advanced skill. As to annotating potential trades afterward, those aren't even necessary if the trader understands that one buys a breakout to the upside and sells a breakout to the...

One must however taste the pudding.

In the meantime, no doubt MarketAddict wishes he'd never said anything at all, and is less likely to do so again, which is the end result of this sort of kneejerk response to any hint that someone might enjoy even a modicum of success. And the members wonder where everybody has gone . . .

Not suspicious enough to actually read the material. Which brings us full circle: the posted "P&L" is irrelevant; what matters is the trading plan. And how many people have a thoroughly-tested and consistently-profitable trading plan? I know of only two, maybe three. If people ask for your...

And yet you can offer proof of none of this. Wouldn't it be nice though if the response were to be good for you rather than demands for your tax returns? Discussion might actually lead somewhere and be of benefit instead of coming to a screeching halt and detour into charge and counter-charge.

You're confusing the weapons manufacturer with the coffee maker.

Exactly. And the Persian response had nothing to do with Christianity.

And where's your proof that you trade? You've been at this for nine years. Surely there's something. Do I care? Not in the least. So why should you?

End result being that next time he will think more than twice about saying anything at all, and nothing is accomplished by discouraging people from sharing their experiences other than to encourage them to stop posting entirely and perhaps even leave, as so many have, including professional...
