Both sides? One side was looking to put something over on unsuspecting readers. The other side was looking to expose the fraud. The fraudster's accomplices and devotees pushed back. The guy doing the exposing didn't wilt. What did I miss?
Hey FF, this is the point that some folks don't understand. I have seen the MM, Affiliate, Guru garbage for years and years. Once you ask for an explanation, boom,
"Mr Moderator, the new boy is hurting my feelings, and I have Cancer, am being unfairly targeted by FinCEN, I am Autistic, I am being persecuted here, etc, etc, etc."
I am not even talking about the old, "show me a certified Blotter" question. I mean simple, straightforward question about, lets say the use of Fibonacci. I saw a guy say, "you see how the Fib lines up with this price, and this price, and this price", and I am like, "Yeah if you move it around the chart enough, you can get it to line up with about anything". Well the freaking began, then they totally lost it, and disappeared.
It's like Murrey Math, "Set to the first frost date of a secret location known only to Murrey" Yeah and eye of newt, tail of Trading Rat, and a virgin (if you can find one). Dude just draw a bunch of garbage on a chart, you will get correlation eventually.
Xela, Alex, Tim, BillyBob, or whomever was trying the old "Get started on a forum, then open an online business" plan. the only problem was they ran into D and others that were having none of this garbage. It amazes me that people still prefer hope and trust in an Anony Moose poster, rather than the realities of trading, very strange to me. Try to get them to read A. Elder, they prefer M. Douglas, rinse and repeat over and over. Interesting study in psychology and break from the monotony, but that is about it.
