I'd lie and say I'll do that just for you, considering how many years we go back now. But the truth is, I cannot find a whole lot of interest here any more. So if you start a thread and post some educational or inspirational stuff, please let me know. I've done my share of that here in the past, you might want to give a try even one time yourself :)
 
I wasn't referring to lescor.

Quote from austinp:

really? what's lescor selling? I don't think he tried to make any excuses for himself, and I'm surely not making excuses for him, either :)

for educational sake, which perhaps I mistook this thread for, there are numerous times in EVERY trader's operation where markets are out of synch with strategies. systematic traders assess the current market conditions and try to figure out if a permanent market change has negated their systematic approach

below was a quick study of the S&P Index ranges (same/similar range as the futures)
Tab 2 charts data w/ 20 per. MA
Tab 1a charts raw data (no MA) for past 3 yrs.
Tab 1 charts it for past 21 yrs.

fact: stock index markets are trading inside all-time historical small ranges. might that affect numerous individual stocks? so is it the strategy wrong for most market conditions? or market wrong for these trading strategies?

what I meant by the market is "wrong" by definition was (and remains) that the market is wrong for these strategies AND it is behaving in all-time historical extreme fashion.

so one of two things can happen, and only one of two: stock markets will open up ranges and increase volume towards long-time historical norms, or they will trade even tighter until they implode from complete lack of trader participation

one or the other, there is no third choice. which would you assume will happen?

this was a great thread and breath of fresh air in a place where "traders" sell the day's high tick in ES and claim that as a trade, get filled on the low ticks overnight to spare losses and nitpick everything to death. fine for those who are here for such, but it looks like lescor has for the most part left the building.

not a bad idea :)

Any chance we can get a mod to clean up all this off-topic crap? I hate to see the best thread on ET get crapped on.

Agreed. If you guys want to argue about something start a new thread.
 
After reading just the first 35 pages or so of this journal it is striking to me how many of the questions seem to be looking for some secret technique, method, indicator, etc... to this mans success. I'd say it all boils down to the first post where he said he lost his arse for many years until he got serious, studied, kept and reviewed records, adapted. I think that is the key and much of the rest can be ignored.
 
Just wanted to chime in.

Nothing but praise and gratitude for this thread. Few things are more inspiring than just seeing concrete examples of a successful person doing his thing and staying positive.

I hope you continue to succeed and push your boundaries into even more fulfilling and profitable territories.
