Quote from Cocaine:
Hey Jack, Bluebolt claims you engaged him in a very intimate way:

Would you care to explain what he is talking about and what came out of that conversation? Because apparently you hurt his feelings so badly that he needs to dedicate his life to your demise.
I do not know.
When he first came here he was a newbie.
He grew out of that role.
At some point he handed out his money wiring info to a local because he wanted to acquire some used books. So he was making his name and bank info available periodically. And at that time he was deeply into phishing for trading info and code.
Later he posted a trading "method" that combined some signal generators which were out of date and offset in time. They had two consequences: they were still lagging and they were "bridging".
Steven does not as a rule deviate from his course of running computer stores or fooling with hacking, but it does seem that he was phishing for a while to ramp up his elan on ET. He doesn't seem like a quick study type person (that is, acquiring concepts and principles and putting 2 and 2 together)
I made one pass with him to correct the SPM basic difficulty (it gave back more than all it made). Chop losses due to wrong default on indicators exceeded lagging profits on non chop periods. You can see all over the place that Steven doesn't take input on his learning errors either in public or in PM's. The MACD defaults he used on the fractal he traded on were the original defaults that the PC rendered obsolete. His offsetting compensations for lagging also did not work in many market conditions.
He pissed off some wrong people and he was told his account info and ID would be made public.
If I had to get specific about when he went into the state he is in now and leaving for worse times, it was when the SPM failed and he could not allow himself to refine it because the refinements were not self originated but they were known to him. This is a tough situation for some people who operates as he does. Stunting happens and it is a consequence of the convergence of factors some of which can be diverse.
There are many stages of maturation. Everyone can remember classmates who pealed off from the growth process as the years went by. The one man show part of life drops out of the picture at some point for almost all of us; it is the part of life where caring for others comes into the picture in spades.
This first experience has been parallelled by AH when he did the strategy violations to recover losses by using two themes, overtrading and adding cars up to 400%. My Excel on that is not postable because moderators delete it immediately. This behavior stuff in ET is good as a learning tool for anyone who wants.
I never imagined what a powerful stepping stone the 3x (H-L) would be. The fact that these turkeys make it a catalyst for others who may be open to alternative paradigms is amazing. Right now RPI is using the original web paradigm (Sir Lee, et al) as a stepping stone into the semantic web orientation (Hendler, McGuinness). Being stuck in "I know what was input" and not being able to go to "I know what was meant" did make the web what it was since inception. CW in the financial industry put many people in that stuck place we see in ET. Quants were the culminating event of CW; now it is possible to just open a pipeline from huge pools to extract according to the market's offering and capacity.
Today we see many people considering not only the offer (crayola) but the size of the pipe (the placeholders in T&S, DOM and the OTR tic charts).
Trader28, et al missed the boat by his getting stuck with the failure of SPM. I probably made it fail by pointing out the failure points of weakness (his thinking).
Just as Google does little interpretation, manipulation, integration; it is the same with the CW. On the other hand, going to sematic(s) web affords understanding meaning, being interoperable, programmable, explainable, capable of filtering and capable of executing; similarly, for SCT binary vectors and certainty give the permissions to filter to the degrees that are controling in both pace and capacity as part of the cycling of extraction. Now these are arriving on the table as part of how 3x ATR is in the picture for those who wish to stretch their reasoning efforts.
Edit: I can see that the posts after your request did get to Trader 28 in some ways by his responses. He is one pissed off guy, apparently.
