Surf's Special Situation Journal

[Xspurt]

Quote from marketsurfer:

Not at all. You guys know who I am, I have no clue who I am talking to. If refuses to reveal his identity, I want nothing to do with him on the surf report. Spurt has gotten enough free publicity for his alias from me and the surf report readers. He can start his own journal now. He is not welcomed here and adds zero value.

I hope you will play with an even hand here and demand every poster on your thread reveals their identity, otherwise I might think you're on the run from a stimulating conversation that you might find backs you into a corner a few times.

Quote from Xspurt:

All in - no scaling in or out - ever. No changing of potion sizes either.


Why not?

It's not my style. I have good reason to believe the market will turn on a signal so I back that to the hilt (of my MM strategy).

I have good friends who are great TA traders and they scale in and out and it works great for them.

If you don't like the arrangement of an anonymous message board, I suggest you not participate. The norm here is anonymity, not what you describe. I'm not sure why you are so sensitive sometimes, all he did was offer to prove that TA trading can and does work. Not sure that deserved being placed on ignore.

Here is the issue: An anonymous person has a very definite advantage over a known person who is transparent. He won't even prove who he is, let alone prove a dubious topic like TA. What do you think he is afraid of? That we will discover he is jack Hershey or that he is a she or he's a known banned person? If someone is issuing challenges, they best reveal who they are, otherwise even a win against them is a loss.

You're embarrassing yourself surf! It's about your challenge to TA, and the people you named in that challenge. I simply responded. Now let the figures speak for themselves and quit squirming and trying to personalize it so you can duck and dive.

This is not a win against you, or you against me. This is a demonstration of TA that you say is a fraud against your PD's that you say are leading the market. Let's both stand up and be counted for the good of all. Otherwise when you issue a challenge and call TA fraudulent while claiming you have the information that drives price before it is on the chart, you are very fearful of being found out to be a fraud yourself.

I could spend my weekends killing people with a chainsaw, but that has no bearing on my TA performance. But I promise, I won't come after you

Marketsurfer, first I am not trader. But the TA people explain what is their analysis, why they choose to bet long or short. With your price driver no one know what you see or what you look to for your bet.

Quote from Xspurt:


Why would I mentor? Well less than 10 guys in 30 yrs isn't actually going to change the world. I was saying to Cormix that I really recommend he mentor because it forces you to be so clear and rule based in your own trading. It's a fantastic refresher and your own trading gets sharper plus you get the kick of helping someone else.

And I agree with you. As I started to share my real-time trading with a few guys online, some of my own issues were exposed and fixed, I became more disciplined, because have to be sort of "benchmark" for my "students", have to express everything in the form others are able to understand etc.

It's a great motivator for my own progress without any doubts. So I may take and mentor someone some day as well from step one.

Surf knows my identity and I know Xspurt's identity. Six handshakes rule. Nobody is really anonymous.
