Quote from MandelbrotSet:
LOL jack.
I made that post @ 12:18pm.
The Close on the ES was @ 1439, and it proceeded to go to a Daily High of 1441 before turning around and dropping like a rock.
Now, if you caught that turn before the fact (and can do so consistently), please show us the proof, we'd absolutely LOVE to see it, all of us. Me, the other guys (and women if there are any) on the thread, spydertrader, your followers, the moderators and I'm sure even Baron himself.
I don't think we're gonna see any proof from you, either now or ever. So as far as I'm concerned, until I can catch all of the turns before or just as they are happening like you can in your fantasy trading, I'm going to go with the current dominant trend until it changes, and I'm going to advise other traders to go with the current, dominant trend until it changes, so long as we are putting real money, real trading careers and real-life hopes & dreams on the line, not that monoply stuff you adhere to.
P.S. Welcome back. 
On page 22, the famous referal of this thread you missed the end of the current dominant trend. And you criticized the guy who was opposite you on the right side of the trend.
There is a post showing in this thread what a period of time looks like between a trend and its resumption. that range bound period is very tradable and achieves two things: takes you out of the end of the first leg optimally and takes you into the resumption optimally. On page 22, you missed the optimal exit and you missed the optimal profit taking to catch the optimal resumption.
So it comes down to three things for you; you do not know how to enter, exit, nor deal with brief range bound intervals.
What are the seven things a person does to cover these bases?
Who cares?
This combo that you illustrate in your judgement of me (which is just fine with me) makes your case for not progressing in your skills.
no one in the world needs to trade as I do. But why not, instead, at least use the ideas of people who do trade as you could in a PA mentality?
Look at the tells of PA traders. What do they say?
Look at the P&L's of PA traders. What does that say about improving?
Look at the path to PA. How long did it take? How long do PA traders stay in trading? Where do PA traders go to keep trading?
Look at PA graphics. Take a good look at yours, in particular. Does anyone have to worry when all the illustrations of a PA thread somehow loses all it's charts?
Look at the PA routine. Look at the parts related to OODA (John Boyd's idea used by Steenbarger and Greenspoon) or a thing like MADA that has monitor, analysis, decision making and action as a routine.
How does PA deal with trends, momentum, volatility expansions, BO's, TL's, formations, the open, settlement, boxes?
congrats on your 500th post. I follow your posts and appreciate you sharing your no-nonsense thoughts!
