Quote from Aitch Ef Tee:
I assume that was British sarcasm. I totally understand if you don't feel it's right to share. Best wishes to you and garachen. You are two of the very, very few contributors to this site worth reading. I look forward to reading more of your informative posts. Hopefully the knuckle draggers that like to shoot their mouths off at every opportunity will not lead you to take another 18 month hiatus. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has learnt much from you.
P.S. I notice on another thread that you recently mentioned NoDoji and I was reminded of your exchange with her a couple of years ago. Just looking at her post history it would appear she has finally admitted to being a fraud. How very predictable.
If what you were referring to with respect to NoDoji was this:
Quote from NoDoji:
I found myself with the same thoughts just now. The contempt before investigation, the failure to take responsibility for one's own actions, the name-calling, the egomaniacal bluster, all running rampant here. Everyone wants a magic formula and no one wants to do any work. If a book or a post or concept is difficult and doesn't provide an exact formula, then it's all crap. If you provide someone with an exact formula and the formula may produce losing trades (gasp!), then it's no better than a coin toss.
Tell you what, in the spirit of the season I'll sacrifice myself to appease the masses:
TA does NOT work. It's all hindsight stuff drawn on cherry-picked charts. There's no way to make money in real time trading off charts. That's a fallacy promoted by trading education guys who just want to sell you their books, webinars, trading rooms, courses, and systems.
Neither I, nor any small traders, can win; the game is rigged and you'll lose, you just will! The only way to win is to have massive capital and inside information.
To succeed you need at least $500,000 that you can afford to lose, and then only trade the size allows you to avoid using a stop loss, ever, because stops cause losses. The stop hunters will find your stop loss no matter where you place it and as soon as they stop you out, they will single-handedly run price exactly where you knew it was going to end up.
All my posts for the past five years have been a carefully crafted infomercial for my services. Despite the fact that I'm a failed trader posting bullsh*t on an anonymous forum, I'm a really great trading educator! For only $10,000, I will mentor the first 20 people who sign up at my web site: www.fivefiguresadayonjustfivekay.com
Cheers!
then you really, really, really don't understand sarcasm.
