Quote from risktaker:
DeMark sells indicators.
He doesn't trade.
He can't trade.
He makes his living working for others. Selling his shit.
If his "indicators" were any good he wouldn't need to work for others or selling crap on Bloomberg.
Quote from SFLTrader:
Believe what you what you want but he advises many of the worlds top traders.
Leasing not selling his indicators on Bloomberg, which is predominently institutional based, is a side business.
I have used his TD Sequential and a few of his other indicators for over a decade with success. From what I have seen here on Elite there are an awful lot of opinions on DeMark - very few of which come from experience with it.
Opinions are like as.h... everyone has one.
I'm new to Elite but I am finding out quickly all "who know it all".Quote from risktaker:
You talk as if "institutions" are some know-it-all group that individual traders ought to respect or even emulate?
Well, guess what?
First, the "institutions" who rent/use bloomberg are the likes of Citi, BofA, JPM, Calpers, etc, etc.
Guess what? They took it up the ass in the last several years!
Second, these "institutions" are comprised of smart as well as newbies, etc.
So, if somebody's mentioning he's got 30-60 indicators for rent/lease on bloomberg, that's where his priority is...generating revenue from selling indicators, not trading.
====================Quote from kut2k2:
....... surf. DeMark was annoying enough when he named every little two-bit kludge indicator he ever experimented with after himself.
Now he declares himself a psychic ("I can pick tops and bottoms") and you fall for it like a ton of bricks.
Dude, get a clue. You've got about as much chance of discrediting trend following as you do of finding anything resembling science in "The New Science of Technical Analysis" by T. DeMark.
