Surf's Special Situation Journal

Quote from cornixforex:

From their rules:

"Deposit will be refunded once all Combine trading days (10 or 20 days) have been completed, if the following requirements have been met:

1. Daily loss limit has not been hit or exceeded
2. Overall Winning Day % of 50 or greater
3. Each product traded has a Trading Average greater than zero ($0)
4. Each product traded has met 2 out of 3 performance requirements, which are as follows:

- Overall Average Win greater than Overall Average Loss
- Overall Average Win Duration greater than Overall Average Loss Duration
- Total Win % of 45 or greater"



You can't imagine how often I've met this scheme having a karma bad enough to live where I live.

Yeah, that's all you need to do to PROVE to ME that TA works. Seems easy, right?

I am not surprised about all the scams in mother russia!

So why your comment about you may blow out then?
You read the one you just responded to, you've read the ones where I post your Bold Gold, you respond to my posts in feedback.

Hypothetically blow out. sorry, should have been more concise.

Yes, i have read some of your stuff-- I haven't seen you brag or chest beat about your TA skills-- my challenge goes out to the XSPURTS, CORNIXForex, NODOJI types who claim to have a superior TA trading method. Prove it.

I respect you, Surf, but you know... I am not really interested in proving anything.

And participating in an obvious scheme targeted to collect membership fees in exchange for the hope is... well, it's a shame

P. S. I see no problem with proofs, anyone can start a system @ Collective2 or whatever other independent resource which records performance and everything will be obvious. But the other question is do those who can, need it?

Hmm... I don't recall claiming to have a SUPERIOR method.

I use TA, yes. I also use FA and some other tools... But definitely not any superior.

I am not paying anything to participate. You do have a point, but to the best of my knowledge, it's 100% legit. These guys are on the floor in Chicago and seem 100% legit. Maverick74, a long time poster and Chicago local is also doing the COMBINE with me-- he knows all the firms in Chicago and will vouch for the legitimacy of this one. If amyone can show me its a scam, I'll be happy to recant. surf

Maverick is a local...? Never heard about that...

They're not a scam and they're not doing anything illegal... But they have the toughest rules out there... at least in their field.

I doubt that you can beat the Combine with skill. You have to catch some big moves in daytrading to make it. You're going to need to get lucky.

I for one would like to see you and Maverick make it just so we can see how it can be done live.

To be fair: I don't claim it's a scam in the sense of being illegal. Obviously the scheme is clear and likely 100% legal.

But how ethical... that's different question.

Tell the COmbine folks that you are participating in surfs challenge-- I bet they may wave the fees for you.

Pretty sure they would, but it would mean supporting the business model I do not consider ethical enough...

Sorry Surf, I will provide proof if I am in the mood, but under my own rules.

LOL on Claims - you're the biggest braggart on ET surf. I have proved it at least 100 times on ET over the years and I've proved it here and proved you wrong in this thread. Now you want me to take 10 days and prove it - for what?

Real life trading commitments don't need the hassles of downloading a 2nd front end and reading silly rules when I want a rest. Trading off a 1 min chart and trying to duplicate everything on a 2nd paper trading account while maintaining other forum commitments isn't exactly real, is it?

It's much more fun to tell you when you are on the wrong side of a trade and post the TA reasons for it. There is a reason I picked AAPL, JCP and YM but said nothing on oil.

You'll see in time I have no fear of my TA standing up against surf's pretend price drivers, but there's no chest beating - just the good natured ripost your bluff demands.

There is only one thing when challenging anyone who uses TA. When they blow out, you can say something like: told you so... Where you will say when you blow out:

I am participating, I may blow out, I don't know that's trading. surf [/B]

Fair enough, when trading one can blow out, regardless what method is used. The difference is that anyone you challenge blows out paying money for the combine while you haven't and might say: that's trading and walk off. That's not an equal situation...
