So you razz buffoons when you are bored, which in other words means make personal attacks, but you put people on Ignore who make personal attacks. Facetiously then I ask, do you put you on Ignore? And are you going to practice what you preach... until you are bored again?

LOL. I cannot help but see Jim Carey in Liar Liar beating himself up in the restroom during the trial.

Excellent... thanks for the reply. I was hoping you would say that. It is the 'am I right or wrong' that makes for the fun of trading. PS - Corso, you get my vote for best new thread starter. Every time you start one, it seems it takes off. Good job, and thanks.

Vladiator as always you make an excellent point, as did daniel_m regarding the same post. I am just too lame to remember where I am posting. :eek: I agree with both of you.... for the most part, with the reservation that to apply statistical analysis the method must be mechanical. And as...

I appreciate your question ice. Try disagreeing with db and see what you get. Do it elsewhere, not here, on another thread, and give it some time, after he has forgotten your compliment. You'll see what I mean. You'll see the arrogance and the defensiveness, the caustic attitude. I cannot stand...

I do agree here. I complained almost weekly as they continued to post charts of stox from Oct 1998 well into this last year as a means to prove a specific pattern, etc. Finally I was able to convince one of the writers to take it to their weekly meetings that continuing to use that time period...

Oh please... don't fool yourself here. This is nothing but mental masturbation. What do you have, little plastic green army men pointing at the screen and each time a trade goes a tick in your favor you go "pow pow, got ya!" As if.....

Love the Canslim method. As boomer said, it puts you in the driver's seat as far as fundamentals go. Still, good fundamentals do not always keep a stock from going down. So the chart becomes the last resort once the fundies are in place. I cut out an article in one issue of IBD last year that...

Is that book coming yet... remember the Profitseer's 1,000,001 Ways to trade, or something like that? I'd like to be on the list of purchasers if I may. :)

:D :D I would rather play craps at the casinos fulltime than trade. Nice work thetraderprofit. FWIW, I think you are doing it right.

Sounds to me like some if-then statements will do the trick...! I am unsure of the progression strategy however. As I interpret your strategy, the first acct must double in size to allow for a second contract. Then that acct must double again before you add one more contract. Is this the...

I have to disgaree with this brah. Unless you are defining the term statistical edge. Too much is made of having an edge. Way too much is made of defining it statistically. And hoping to find an inefficiency etc etc, by now you must know that you can make statistics show whatever you...

Uh oh, now you've done it.... hopefully not.... we'll see.

A good vehicle to position trade is one that is expected to move well away from the entry, and has shown the same characteristic previously. If your method generates a specific number from which you should be long or short, then that number is both the entry and the exit. For this reason, I wait...

Buzzzzzz.... wrong again. Just in case you aren't totally kidding, never presume that doing the opposite will be successful. As I have said before using craps as an analogy, the dice can be hot, cold, or.... lukewarm. There are three scenarios to acct for, not just two.

:D :D :D

At one time, lots and lots of people probably said man will never be able to fly. Wrong. Praying for animals....? So I guess you are a vegetarian then right? Well, then perhaps we should pray for the plants too. Unless of course you exist only on water, tofu, and chicken mcnuggets. Except for...

Like gawking at the traffic accident on the other side of the freeway. As the traffic is slowing I am saying, 'c'mon folks, don't gawk...' all the while I am trying to fool myself and sneak quick glances to see what happened. We can be so pathetic sometimes... at least I can.

I disagree with the above statements. Edges are not rare, they are plentiful, just not applied appropriately. Please name one edge that is now extinct. Looking at charts and reading about trading methods is very good for your trading. Nothing can prepare you better for what you will see...

Love the snapple facts! Using the Dow Dogs method, I wonder if you lose less than the overall market percentage-wise in a bear market.
