Well let's think real hard. Could it be that you guys have allowed this thread to degenerate because of one idiot? Look at the posts. The majority are now the idiot, his one idiot supporter, someone replying to the idiot, or someone making fun of the idiot. I think 7 of the last 12 posts fit these categories.
Actually, I was thinking the thread looked
better than ever.
JSSPMK has been giving a master level class on a type of trading that no one around here has ever seen before.
Vol_00's rule of 10 is so popular it's beeing pre-empted by the instutitional money ...

(but seriously, if we can see a pattern so can their computer algo's).
B1S2 sticks to his guns in the ES ... and in the 10 other markets that he trades.
That there is something here for everyone is absolutely correct.

I recently attened a seminar at the NY Traders Expo by
Doug Zalesky of
TradeMaven. He uses market profile (which is only a way of looking at market
volume by price) in a way that really simplyfies it and helps to understand how the market works in tems of establishing support and resistance levels (they are made on low volume), what accumulation days look like (P's) and distribution days (b's).
The class helped me to understand how
Apex82 establishes his levels and makes his trades. While in the seminar Doug was asking questions of the audience, and I kept giving the correct answer.
Another guy who had uses it and attend's Doug's chat room asked me if I had ever used it before, I told him no, but I've seen a guy who trades like this (Apex82), so now I finally understand why he trades this way.
Not an endoresement of TradeMaven (even though I think they're a top notch vendor), just sharing a story.
