Quote from Charlie Dow:

One more example of a trend chart. From today's Euro.

Charles,

I am not sure what you are trying to show by posting the charts. How about some projections, say what will happen on Monday, Tuesday, or whatever time frame you choose--as long as it's in the future. A chart showing your specific projections is truly the only thing that would make sense. Charting the past is an exercise in futility.

I post charts because you can't.

I ask you questions, you refuse to answer. You are a reporter, what would you do if your subject did that to you?

I tell you we do not predict we read price in real-time and take action on the occurrences as it happens. Do you listen . . . no, just like a typical internet tabloid reporter. You hear what you want to hear and print what you can sensationalize. We do not deal in sensationalism as you do. We here are exchanging ideas to try to improve the trading environment as a whole for independent traders. Why don't you go chase Madonna in London, I hear she is trying to make a comeback.

If you want an opinion, I will be glad to give you an opinion. The Price of the Euro will go up Challenging first 1.1814 and then subsequent Higher Prime Highs being we are in a Bull Trend on MY intraday Trending Chart. If a Prime Resistance level is Failed to be Breached, each subsequent Prime Support level will be Challenged until one of those Fail to be Breach and Price will reverse again . . . and so goes price. Long term if 1.1662 holds Price will oscillate back to 1.12207.

A leopard can't change it's spots and you are the King of tabloid reporting leopards. Your mind in entrapped behind a steel door and that is the worst place a reporter can keep it. You have a responsibility to be fair to your environment but do not think so & you are not. You are as self serving as any self professed reporter I have ever met in my entire life.

On that note . . . have a great weekend and Great Trading to you. May you someday wake up with an open mind and a warm heart.
 
Quote from Charlie Dow:

...snip snip...

I'm in Germany now preparing to do a free class for 3 people at my expense . . . big deal. We trade, we learn we have a great time. All of my Seminars have included free seats. You need to lighten up and go have some fun once in a while. Traders are great group of people don't spoil the environment with your unsubstantiated personal criticisms.

Charlie, you are such an 'altruist'. Whilst it might be true that you are letting 3 people in your seminar for free, lets not forget the reason you are in Germany right now, and that is not to do FREE seminars.

An excerpt from Mr Dow's free-section of his website

... Blah Blah Blah more advertising ...

PRICE US$4800.00 (approx. €4000.00)*
SEATING IS LIMITED!


BTW, like I have said before, I love your use of NLP, you should be in advertising. You know, your use of words and phrases such as "perfect, perfectly, perfection", "flaweless" (this one appears to be your new one of choice), "I give it all away for free, you just have to search for it", etc, etc. That's Gold Jerry.

Its not the content (in terms of the basic Dow theory) that people might object to here, its the method of marketing/advertising that you are using.

Caveat Emptor.

Hyperbole to the point of stupidity and the lack of logic in response to my posts are what elicited my negative comments, not his exposition of his trading method.

However since he was the creator of both posts and methodology, and his posts were obviously full of shit.
I don't think it too much of a stretch to entertain his methodology might offer the same smell too.

ROFLMAO :D :D :D

Quote from VictorS:

Charlie, here we go again...tsk, tsk, tsk. You really dont have to reply to the negative posts.

What, even if these alleged negative posts are TRUE?

Mr Dow would appear to have been rather economical with the presentation of the facts whilst he commented about his altruistic tendencies in his previous post. A random omission perchance on his behalf. :p Benefit of the doubt. Thus if he is to make such comments, I think he should not have any issues with anyone who wants the complete picture.

Like I said before, I have no issues with Mr Dow/Logic posting about his "methodology", or promoting his services, I could not give a shit, thats for Barron and the Moderators to decide if he has gone too far and has to pay up some cashola to ET.

However, when he starts with his "hollier than thou - I'm perfect and so is my methodology - you must be an idiot and an asshole not do trade as I do" bollocks attitude - well I'm afraid that going to invite criticism at best.

And of course it gets better with the "I'm giving it away for free - 3 people are attending the Seminar for free" - the dude is a saint for shag's sakes.

Dude, cut that shit out, focus on your "methodology" (and I use that word loosely), and thats it. If Hanketsurfer criticises your method - he is entitled to do that - or wants projections, then deal with it. If you do this in an appropriate manner then you'll avoid a lot of the criticism, like the type of criticism towards the end of the "ProfLogic" posts (lets not open that can of worms - some apparently ex-students really put the boots in so to speak in those threads), and guess what, you might even get more people to attend your seminars.

There is one and only one reason for your existence on ET. Shameless Self-Promotion. Period. Lets accept this and move on.

Have a nice day, EQ.
 
The class starts this morning and if you would like to call the hotel to check but there are 4 people in the class all are free seats; the two organizers, a friend and the father who is a math teacher. When the advertising for the class didn't work out I could have left and came home but I made a promise to the people here that requested I do a class here in Germany and set it up for me. The class goes on with or without any paid students. I would venture a guess that if you were in the same situation you have already left to cut expenses. I still here until the class is finished at my expense.

I make no mention of my sites on ET and won't. This is a forum to exchange ideas. If if weren't for individuals like yourself no one on this site would know about those sites or there content.

Hard to self promote when one makes no mention of what they do. This is suppose to be a forum to exchange ideas but it seems to always end in a banter about a few people seeing information they don't understand being discussed and want to stop the thought processes because they can't conprehend the content.

One might entertain the content of your posts if you knew what I do.
