Cornix's TA Performance

[atticus]

Quote from cornix:

I'm with Crossland not IB. And there are time stamps on the blotter as well as fill prices.

Well then I suppose you're running out of excuses.

Quote from cornix:

Surf, not all day trades are equal. Some approach allows you to set in order and wait for it to trigger maybe in half an hour. In such cases of course it would make sense.

I can't do it technically it's a distraction. I don't even do it real-time during live communication with my trading buddies over Skype etc. Because it can be too much a distraction.

Our days it's very fast, HFT added to the noise probably. When did you day trade and what instruments? Also interesting why did you stop?

Cornix,

Good luck to you buddy!

But come on man, grow some balls and post some live calls. It doesn't have to be every single trade. At least once in a while could prove a point, if that's what you are after.

Quote from R. Raskolnikov:

Surf, just go and focus on your own thread. You are doing PRECISELY what you bashed others for in the past. Let Cornix do his thing.

My frozen Siberian heart is not so faint, never going to complain about criticism (even destructive) and just keep doing what I started.

It's not a problem of balls as quite a few people know by our communication outside of ET. It's really a problem of timing.

I can post sporadic calls no problem, but it will really show mixed result way different from what's actually happening.

Quote from Samsara:

Until you yourself post real time <i>exits</i>, you have no ground to stand on. The last several colossal losses in your thread never had exits at all, let alone in real time. The same manipulation you accuse this guy of is on display in your own thread.

But of course, consistency isn't your strong suit. After all, you are an avid TA user who mocks avid TA users as losers.

Orwell coined a useful term called "doublethink," for the ability to hold two contradictory positions in mind at once, believing both whenever it has utility.

Wrong-- I did not set out to prove anything. This journals stated purpose is to PROVE TA

"After multiple arguments on the matter I decided to bring a bit of objectivity to the field of continuous holy war and demonstrate some of the actual performance achieved with use of a couple simple TA signals. Will I prove TA has some value or the opposite, time will show."

I have repeatedly stated how one can PROVE, to me anyway, that TA works, but the thread starter doesn't get it.

I offered you a way of proof which is rock solid, even risked being banned for that (that's why will not repeat it here). You refused.

He will never post calls, as they will likely be wrong, and his belief in the hindsight of charts is SO STRONG, he would never challenge his own belief. surf

Personally, kind of trading isn't much my thing and I also wouldn't be convinced without real time entry and exit as well. Although if I did still trade like this, I wouldn't waste time at the start and end of each trade posting the data on ET either.

But there are time stamps in that blotter, which is what he said in the post you're quoting. So unless the absence of size or real time entry and exit are deal-breakers for you, what he's posting seems to cross a minimum threshold of accountability.

Haha, yeah. Just not me, rather my opponents do.

You mean by risking my own money with you? sure, that would be one way, but its much easier for both of us just to post the entry level in advance then the exit. Maybe, after I see this, I'll give you trading authorization over an account-- but so far, I have not seen any factual evidence of anything. surf
