Quote from fubar:
After reading Mr Hershey's claims of 3 times the daily range without ever having a losing trade and Spydertrader's hysterical posts akin to religious revelation, I was just wondering why nobody from those journals has ever posted in the P/L thread?
And why do mods feel the need to protect the journal threads from questions like this when they let far worse occur in other threads? Are they too mesmerized by the promise of the grail and feel the need to protect it from the harsh reality of it's lack of success?
I should add this thread was prompted by Mr Hershey PM'ing me to (as he put it) recruit me to "the team" and when I started asking hard questions I was suddenly beset by PM's from Spydertrader, (that odious little Renfield like troll) and even one moderator who took umbrage to the simple question stated above
Are you referring to this thread:
Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Futures Trading Journal
http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=83604
Spyder started this thread because some traders have expressed interest in learning
SCT.
They have been asking many questions in his <a href="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=83605" target="_blank">
Equity Journal</a>, so Spyder decided to split the journal and started this Futures thread.
The learning begun in January, and is still in progress. Please see the syllabus below:
<font color="blue">January 1 - ES Chart: Price, Volume, Channels and the FTT
February 1 - YM Chart: The YM leads the ES?
March 1 - Gaussians and PV
April 1 - STR / SQU (Stretch - Squeeze)
May 1 - Fundamentals Review</font>
<font color="red">
June 1 - DOM (Depth of Market) / Time and Sales</font>
<font color="blue">July 1 - TIC Charts and Two Pairs
Aug 1 - Flaws Summary
Sept 1 - Additional Signals for Change
Oct 1 - Putting it all together
Nov 1 - Real Time Video Example Trades
Dec 1 - Dec 20 - Final Exam</font>
Probably you will see some people posting their P/L after the Final Exam.
Then again, maybe not, if they have nothing to prove.
