Quote from FreakofNature:

This is the part I don't understand.

.... if he is doing the opposite, the long worked like crap.

So why the mojitos?

...the long still moved 4 pts in his way before tanking, so depends on how one trades the calls, it should have been at least a break even or very small loss....

If held without a stoploss, by the end of day a 14 pts winner...

It's even easier than that. I trade ZN as well, to add juice to trades for very little margin, and note how it got slammed overnight and could not catch a bid all day. Hedge funds park their cash in treasuries, not banks anymore. So when you see that, you know they are shuffling the decks. Simple.

ZN had resistance all day at 50% IB, NQ could not even break IB on the downside. Simple, easy clues for those who care to look and not get stuck on one index.

The market's own "black box" mapped out where it wanted to go this afternoon with military precision for those with an attitude to follow

I really dislike people that come here after the fact and claim how easy it all was when there are some here putting their reputation on the line while doing it out in the open.

Unless you post live calls with timely entries and a clear stop/risk plan there really is no credibility here aside from ego and propaganda.

Sorry about the negativity, but it's just not right.

I agree. What bums me out is the ambiguity. I personally find it hard to believe that any retail edge could be jeopardized by posting tips to a group of 15 people on a messageboard. I don't mind the after-the-fact charts, but I think it would be helpful to explain how people are coming to those conclusions so that other people might be able to make their own judgements next time.

I'm sure for that you need to pay.

Is not that the point of these guys ?

On the other hand, look at Ammo, always sharing what he knows, asking nothing in return.

Totally. Although I don't always refer to it, Ammo's mention that Market Breadth only has 4 or so patterns made it really easy to backtest and lock in what those patterns are.
