for you maybe but for others, ET plays big part in learning how to trade, check out 40yotrader thread, various testimonials in spyder's equities thread and most recently BullnBear thread, still scratch my head on that one but yeah.Quote from austinp:
If I were trying to learn about trading mostly or solely from this site, there would be zero chance for me to succeed. ..
Keep things in perspective
I'll repeat.
It's easy to ridicule a certain sub set of traders when you refer to trend traders that can't define trends. There are plenty in that group to reference.
I'll add that there is plenty to ridicule in every group. Just look at yourself. You aren't familiar on how the pairs are traded . . . but you say you trade them, you state that the Q's don't exist any more and they are actively traded and are so proud of your current YM trade but it constitutes an overall record of less than 35% wins over the last physical year.
You have no room to comment on ANYONE's system or method. You aren't an expert and you have "ZERO" creditability.
by the first statement, you are implying that you have more resources, knowledge and ability than JWH and the other big struggling TA trend following names. PLEASE!
still waiting for you to provide your system to a 3rd party so that it may be monitored and confirmed. what are you scared of?, afterall its the perfect system. i post my trades win or lose-- all you show is a perfect past record on the charts provided. by the way, what's your record? last time i checked your old website, its was near perfect over several years. PLEASE!

I can define the Trend of any of my charts in real time. Trader's don't trade trends though, we trade price. How can anyone call themselves a "Trend Trader" and not have the ability to define a Trend. Hey, I'm a chef but can't cook, I'm a race car driver but can't drive and I'm a journalist and can't write.
I love it when you start in on the "3rd party" schtick. You can't verify anything on your own because you have no skills so you want someone else to do it for you. You lost the last grain of credibility with me when you stated the Q's don't exist anymore. You are an idiot.
you crack me up chef tell. try putting QQQ into your software--nothing there, doesn't exist. QQQQ's exist, but you stated QQQ.
you refuse to verify your claims, this is fact. however, im still open to seeing what ya got but only before the fact in a neutral environment. illustrative charts don't do anything for anyone.

and you crack up alot of people on this site.
you lose -20% in seconds on CROX, w no stops, no plan,
so what do you do ?
..you start picking on trend following. yikes !
maybe you should redirect your efforts to understanding short squeezes, and what 50% short interest means.
