Quote from Holmes:

Have been wondering about why the good old Prof seems to be so persistent.

Basically if one has a system and it works fine then why does he need to "proof" to the outside world that what he has works?

Why would anyone want to deal with the public if it can be earned without any hassle with a few clicks of the mouse? The money is far easier made trading.

The solution is pretty simple: he has no consistent system and this is the only way he is goign to make some money from his trading, not trading the markets but selling his ideas / system to the gullible.

It is also rather well known that people suffering from autism sometimes have a good memory and / or grasp of numbers. And it is also very well known that these people are very dogmatic in their ideas and that you cannot reason with them. Which is the case here.

I hope that I have saved some people from getting sucked in by the promises that this guy makes and prevented them from spending their hard earned cash and loosing their dreams.

Am not going to waste any more time on this, if the followers not see through this Profs bullshit then there is nothing anyone can do.

A most excellent post Holmes.

Indeed, if anyone spends even one cent with profdow, well, they deserve all they get in return. Everyone is free to do just that.

For me this was never about the "trading method" or whatever Charlie wants to call it, it was always about his devious self-promotion. He still doesn't get this simple fact! Of course, Charlie twisted and turned, as per usual, and tried to deflect the heat by making it like he was the "good guy giving it all away for free" and attacked by us ET skeptics.

Good trading to you all.

It's so boring to read the same over and over again. Guys it's not getting right because you repeat it that often.
Hailing the traders who failed in using a method and ignoring the guys who succeeded is a biased discussion.

I suggest that everyone makes his own mind about Charlie's method. I bet it's not suitable for everyone and some won't like it, but some probably will.
I can't trade successful with RSI, but there are traders who can. Do I blame them, no. The RSI is just nothing for me. I can't program C++, have tried a couple of times, but never succeeded (lack of patience). Whose fault? Probably Bjarne Stroustrup's :D .
But definetly not mine ;-).

Happy trading,

Could it be?... Naaahhh?

Hmm..., replace C++ with HTML and Java..., otherwise very similar analogy. Probably just randomness at work :D
 
Quote from fritz_haber:

I was probably inspired by the analogy ....

But it's nonetheless true, I suck at C++ programming ROFL.

And I still haven't tried to fail in Java or HTML. This is the next project after I fail in trading :D .

Happy Trading,

It has been mentioned before that you cannot do any maths and once again you are showing your lies.

no shit Sherlock . . . the reference was to "Charlie Dow" and I haven't. If you read the ENTIRE thread you posted the link to you will see that Hank got HIS math wrong as well. Some of the people here at ET aren't as stupid as you think they are. They are capable of reading the entire thread not just the portion you want them to read that was taken out of context in the first place.

No response to the misquotes, misstatements and misrepresentations you got caught in making on page 23?

Doesn't do any good Fritz. It's like talking to teenagers.

Reminds me of a story about a guy teaching a class and explains that there is preliminary test, a real simple riddle that must be answered correctly to take the course.

He asks them one simple question that they had to write the answer down on the largest piece of paper in the book left on their desk. In the book there were two loose pieces of paper, one smaller than the other, tucked neatly and freely inside the book.

The question was, "What did the closed sign specifically say on the door of the Italian/American restaurant in New York City on the first Monday after Christmas each year?"

The instructor gave some leeway on the written answer and explained when finished to hand the answer to him and he would call the students back who would be taking his course. Out of 100 students, how many do you think got it correct?

Anyone care to see if they can answer the riddle? How many of you will call the whole exercise silly or stupid to justify not doing the work? How many of you will attempt the riddle and do your best at figuring it out? How many will succeed?

Probably the same than on every other day - "CLOSED". At least that would be the word on the sign of my prefered Italian, but I doubt that he has ever been to New York :) .

Happy Trading,

Charlie, I thought you were done with this thread? :D
Well, I certainly am, and actually, I wish you all the best.

Cheers, EQ.
