CL Redux

Quote from Blotto:

Pivot? 84.27? I've been calling a weak market in CL all week. I gave a short trade above 85, another sell soon after, and stated that if I was trading longer term I'd look for 82, which was hit today.

I didn't say I'm never wrong. I have been known to have 30+ winner runs, and wrong trades /calls generally occur less than 5% of the time.

I'm not "calling out" anyone. I'm simply asking questions of people as to why they made certain decisions. I am sure they will benefit from thinking more about this. Anyone with too thin a skin to tolerate a few helpful questions is in the wrong business.

Blot, no doubt you're one hell of a self-proclaimed guru who needs to be reckoned with*, but you also need to post some trades in real time before saying crap like that. Your measly 17-tick profit yesterday doesn't cut it. Making calls is one thing; trading is another. I'm willing to go as far as saying that I could do just as good a forecasting as you, if not better. But then again, I don't always follow my own advice.

So let's do away with the egos and start posting trades. Who knows, we might learn from you after all. Now I'll shut up for a whole week so that you may shine, so show us what you're made of. :)

*Again, no lecturing tolerated here. If that is the course you want to pursue, take your business elsewhere.

Good evening emg. Are you going to post some calls here? I would enjoy watching the reaction to that very much indeed. I didn't know it had a journal either until the thread starter asked me to post on it to prove I wasn't full of it...

Hello again Schizo

"Making calls is one thing, trading is another". True. Lets get on with trading!

I'm no guru. I am not selling anything and I am not offering to teach others. I have participated in some trading discussions. You have replied to the effect that I've shown nothing of value, and provided no evidence that I'm not full of it. I've given several correct live calls on this thread and also over on the ES journal. By now it should be clear that I know what I am talking about. Those who know, know.

Forecasting is one thing, and you are quite correct that it is meaningless unless you have the ability and balls to stand by your convictions and trade the calls you make. However, a skilled trader can see by the calls and predictions of others who knows and who does not.

I'm not up for lectures or pissing matches on the Internet. We all have our own account statements for that. I've made some comments, and been "called out" - then I've given some live calls, and been "challenged" again. Those who know, know. Obviously if my manner is irritating to some then I question what I will achieve by continuing to post. I certainly do not intend spending a whole week calling markets live on bulletin boards.

Perhaps I'll restrict myself to Politics and Chit Chat...

Continued success to you all.
