What incentive is there for DB's "students" to post here and try to prove their case to you or anybody else?
People who come across his material are either going to put forth effort to study, test, and come to their own conclusion as to its merit or they won't.
There are four users of this site that have made a significant positive impact on the development of my personal trading skills in different ways, and DB was the first of them I came across.
I find it baffling on the best of days and somewhat agitating on the worst that many users here are so consistently negative, close-minded, and seem to carry an air of entitlement for proof or information from people claiming to be successful.
It has been my observation that most antagonistic or unsuccessful individuals here seem to fall into two categories.
1. They are hampered by severely limiting beliefs tied to various financial orthodoxies, "conventional wisdom", call it what you will; that blind them to what's actually possible for small retail accounts staying well under liquidity restraints,
2. Those who have seen some rhyme and reason within the markets pertaining to the potential of astute technical analysis but are prevented from capitalizing upon it by various emotional or psychological obstacles.
I suppose a third category of individuals makes themselves known sparingly in those who have achieved a degree of success with more institutional methods but come across severely skeptical of those claiming success by other means, which I suppose is understandable even if I disagree with them.
In any case, if there is someone who reads this and is actually interested in improving their trading or adding value to their repertoire and not just in direction-less recreational debate; I'd advise you to get off this site, or at least use it sparingly, and research the markets independently. Or, look through the history of some positive contributors and try to strike up a correspondence with one of them.
