Do you really think that once u pay, the data changes?

Yes I do.

I have to pay money to change any of these parameters to see how your ranking and performance might have varied...

Are you a female?

Stop digging your hole with smarmy questions like that. Aren't you supposed to be considered a "professional" trader? Or at least show a modicum of "professionalism" in your responses?

I'm darn sure you charged me a donut once. I gave you two donuts worth, so you owe me a donut. I want my donut. It's been weeks for that incoming donut. With interest, that comes to 1.35 donuts. I will take the .35 donut interest in the form of mint-chocolate frosting. But I want my donut.

We'll take this to court if needed. Donut or die! lol!!!!

That's not accurate. It's very clear what the parameters are for the "free" data.

You are a female :). Only a female would use swarmy and like donuts. Lol ! I should have guessed-- i commend you for posting here-- heck, i met my wife on this site, so maybe u will be as fortunate.

How about Yours or speedy ? What you guys are forgetting is all proper statistical testing of TA reveals no edge-- there's not much more to say unless u produce evidence to the contrary.

Bye

yada yada bye surf. Stats may be relative to execution skill? Ever thought of that? Two people side by side both executing same PA..same charts..same patterns..will have two different results. Kinda of like Capt Sulley. Engineers said he would make it the airport. He knew landing on the hudson was the only chance. He was right...they were wrong..just because you apparently couldn't make TA work for you doesn't mean Henry can't. There are plenty of edges in TA. PICTURE WILL EXPLAIN. PLEASE STUDY IT.

Only a female locust would confuse "smarmy" with "swarmy".

Have fun storming the Egyptians!

Yes, there is definitely skill involved. However, i believe that skill is money management. If you don't have a statistical edge based on your entry directional bias method, you can still profit with astute money management thanks to the upward drift of the stock market.

In other words, if you are succesful over time and changing markets with TA-- it is despite TA , not because of it.

Peace
 
Surf two things.

1) How many trades did you do to get the 9.5%....

2) and how much time..months...years..may i ask?

Thanks!

The locust swarm, one of the ten plagues of Egypt from Exodus? The Old Testament? Pentateuch? Torah?

Gotcha. Thanks! I was thinking more the 2011 attack on the Israeli embassy......

Are u United States based?

If you are new to this game-- i strongly recommend to you and others . Evidence based technical anslysis by David Aronson, Practical Speculation by Niederhoffer, Winner Take All by Gallacher, and The Fourth Turning as a tome to place history into perspective as a means to properly evaluate market and societal trends.

And ofcourse Thorp's new book. I have not read it, but those with my deepest respect say its great. Its on my list.

Rather than nonsense P--action books written like Nostradamus
