Quote from Thunderdog:
Your arrogance overwhelms. What makes you think that I do not have a method that I am comfortable with and that serves me well? You are essentially concluding that anyone who does not take the time to learn YOUR method is lazy. How wonderful it must be to reside at the center of the universe.
Take note. My very first post to you was my taking exception to your use of the term "impossible" in connection with market activity. You claimed that it was "impossible" for markets to go immediately against your entries. When people speak in such absolutes about the market, I tend to disagree...absolutely. Anyone who has traded the markets for any length of time can recognize the inanity of your statement. Please do not read any more into my comments.
If you have a method you are comfortable with, fantastic. I wish you all the great trading the Market has to offer you. I think trading is a great way to make a living and should be a fun place to meet some really interesting people. There are a boat load of people out there with their own personal edges that I have no clue about but don't condemn them. We discuss what they do and I respect what they do, walk away and keep my opinions to myself. "If it works for them . . . cool, I don't have to do that." I don't make fun of Fib Traders, Gann Traders, Elliott Traders, Moon Phase Traders, Market Profile Traders, Time & Price Traders or any other flavor of the month. They do what they do and God love every one.
If you told me that your Method was based on some research you had done regarding something I was totally unfamiliar with I would ask questions to better understand it, I wouldn't slam it and ridicule it just because I was unfamiliar with it. If that is arrogance you really have a skewed form of reality.
I said it is lazy to dismiss or condemn anything you don't understand without verifying it first and that includes what I do. That applies to anything in life. Again that isn't arrogance that is simple common sense.
You have absolutely no clue of WHAT absolutes I'm talking about but just because you don't understand them, can't and won't ask questions to try to figure them out, your off the cuff answer is . . . it is impossible. Where is the arrogance in that? I could care less whether you expend the effort to validate what I do but until you do, you have no right to say it doesn't work. Just say, it sounds strange even ridiculous but anything is possible under the right conditions and walk away. I respect indifference, I don't respect chosen ignorance.
And please stop taking my statements out of context and skewing them to justify your directed ridicule of something you do not comprehend or understand.
