Hi ESR, just taken me three days to read thru this entire thread. Excellent stuff and thank you.
Just a couple of questions.
First, are you completely self taught? i.e. are these techniques a result of several years reading carefully selected books combined with your own (talented and intuitive) observations? Also, I remember you said you had professional friends/connections in financial trading - did you learn some of these techniques from them and then go on to develop them to suit your style of trading?
Secondly, I've read that sometimes newly discovered technical patterns that work only do so until they become widely known/used - after that they seem to become less effective. Do you agree with this and does it bother you at all?
I personally don't agree with above because I think if a method or system has good grounding on solid principals then its effectiveness should not be easily eroded.
Thanks again for a great thread. I have some of my own observations I'd like to share with you but not sure if I should do that privately or post here.
p.s. I don't see any numbers in the black column - it's just a black space
