No, I was not trying to be sarcastic. I was glad that you and several others had shared your experiences. Some of the other responses to this thread were quite unfriendly.

The Vikings did the same things at their weddings!

I was glad to get your feedback. I didn't realize there were so many pros and semi-pros on this site. Someone mentioned "branding" being forbidden here, so I am guessing that any pros cannot mention their sites/services. It's unfortunate there is not some mechanism on this site where the...

You are correct, unless he uses the crossover and breakout methods on other securities. Such as Copper and Crude Oil.

Most of the mean-revision stuff I have been reading about is traded without stops, which seems like an invitation for a black swan. The trend followers are exactly the opposite, they usually have tight stops. Both Niederhoffer and Dennis went bust, so perhaps Dirty Harry asked the right question.

You are correct. I thought I remembered you asking these people for "help", but you were actually asking them for "proof." These are the passages I remembered wrong: This section where you were asking for proof: (~pg 213) "I've been on a soapbox for years against the peddlers of these...

I knew a guy who was great at trading <$100K, and every time he got his account >$100K, he completely fell apart, and would end up with $70k-$80k. He did that every 2-3 years. I don't know what ever happened to him, but I would bet he still has $70k-$80k.

It sounds like you are well on your way, and it's great you're taking the opportunity while you have it!

The few people that I've known who trade for a living either spent a lot of time getting to that point, or were scraping by with little room for error. It was not easy for the former, and is not easy for the latter. When I see people claiming it is easy, and spending a lot of time and energy...

I think I get now, you're an ASS. Thanks for clearing that up.

I think I have read it in several places, but a quick google check did not reveal it. I thought I had read it in either Darvas or O'Neil's books. I have a vague memory of the guy retiring some time in the 60's or 70's, it wasn't recent. It was mentioned in a discussion about how...

Can you explain to me what you are talking about? I'm guessing you didn't get my "Plan 9 From Outer Space" joke. You seem to be aiming your hostility at whomever you think I am.

Hi Zen, thanks for your thoughtful reply. I had the interesting experience of knowing someone who went from being a "basement hacker" to what is now called a professional quant, and who is now basically retired. So I have seen someone do what a lot of people claim to do. The person I knew...

Damn, we've been caught!! This was our 8th attempt, our next one will be Plan...9!

Ahh, I see you on C2. I usually look at the FX systems there, I actually joined this website to speed up my learning, so I can eventually create a system over there, lol. The last time I was interested in trading, there was a website called Clear Station that was like a mixture of ET and C2...

I saw that ACD thread when I was strictly lurking, but I never seriously read it. I googled "Mark Fisher ACD" and found a decent webpage that described the system. Interesting approach, I like that the pivot points are related to the ATR. I've been a fan of ATR-based approaches since reading...

I was curious if there was ever a single case of someone who claimed to be able trade profitably, to actually do it live and in front of a camera. I ask because there is tons of material on people claiming to, and even videos where they claim to, but not a single video showing them do it...

If you posted videos of yourself successfully trading, you would be the first person in the history trading to actually do that.

Hello. I think I would like to put together a small automated trading system. There are still a lot of things I need to learn about, so I thought I would come to ET and ask around. I am mostly interested in making an AI-based Forex trading system. If I am going to trade it myself, it will...
