Quote from Mins:
So if someone shares their methodology we can't dispute or disagree with them.
Last time i checked this was a discussion board so stop all the brown nosing.
If Buy1Sell2 wants to openly inform all users that he has the correct method for trading then this is open for discussion or rejection by any reader of this journal.
Whats with all the constant ass kissing around these parts.
As one of those who I suppose you are accusing of "ass kissing", I would say that I am simply getting tired of seeing people sniping away at B1S2, without posting a trade, or for that matter posting any type of methodology.
I think B1S2 has done a good job of setting forth a viable method of trading, he has shown specific real time trades and their management. That's considerable information from a successful trader.
I got no problem with disagreement. What I got a problem with is disagreement when nothing specific is offered.
For instance, I don't care for the canned indicators. So what? I think there are likely those who have figured out how to use them. Why argue about it. Again, if you don't agree, or you think lyou got something better, why not simply describe that, instead of crapping all over B1S2?

Sorry if you think i directed that comment at you Old Trader, i actually respect your honesty and the good trades you have outlined thus far in this journal.
What i mean is simply that as a discussion board everyone has their own opinion and often feels their method is the best way to trade.
Reading Smilingsynics posts i get a real sense of where he is coming from and i am sure a lot of other readers who follow this journal did get a smirk out of the Buy1Sell2 indicators post.
I don't care who shares what or what is offered but i simply reject the proposal that we cannot disagree or reject a certain traders methodology.
As for posting trades - this is meaningless without specific reasoning behind the trades - i like how Jagmot shares his analysis for example.
All i want to point out is maybe people should just relax a little and let the discussions take place without getting upset or flustered regarding what is being said. This is the Internet and just a message board after all.
Feel free to share any methodologies as i will be reading, and if i disagree you will hear about it and can disregard my comments at will. Hopefully i will try to back my arguments up with a reason e.g. i find the indicators are useless based on back-testing them - others may disagree and feel that back-testing is not a good idea
Good trading to all.

What's your problem with B1S2? He is simply trying to share his methodology here, if you don't like what's on offer, simply move on.
He does not share much about his methodology, but instead offers generalities unsupported by evidence. Moreover, what is evident about his philosophy keeps changing.
I am here primarily because of the others--JSSPK, Volente, vertigo, Mbusch, Lawrence Chen, and other great traders (sorry if I am missing someone--OldTrader sounds like a winner, too) who are great in part because they have an open mind. B1S2 might be a nice guy, and a gentleman for sure, but imo he is far too close minded and unwilling to change his mind if confronted with evidence that contradicts his own ideas. In intraday trading, flexibility is a must, as is an ability to admit error and move on. I find dogmatism in trading to be counterproductive. JMO.
Good luck to all.
I am in no way trying to cause trouble here, but perhaps you could give us your actual statistics, like ROI%, year to date in your ES trading.
You only recently starting posting size so looking back at the journal will not give an accurate picture. I went back through all your trades to about 5/19/2008 and I see a net loss of approximately $13k.
i'm all for the discussions and adding any nuggets to my trading style but can we keep it civil,the bashing chases away the smarter traders ,nobody ever wants to listen to someone bitching,it ruins a lot of threads and this one is slowly going downhill, that's why the protests come up
Anyone know why 1318 is so magically?
I am puzzled.
