Quote from NoDoji:

You really have no clue what technical price action analysis is about.


I actively day trade two separate accounts with two different brokers, and I actively swing trade two other accounts. If someone wants badly enough for me to put aside my profit opportunities to prove TA works by participating in a “just for fun”simulated trading combine for 10 days because s/he believes TA is useless junk science, s/he can fork over $50K to cover the profits I may generate trading my 5 lot minimum in the combine (and if I generate more because we have some more days in crude oil like we had last week), tell you what, I'll give 30 extra days to cover the difference.

You have an amazing ability to draw conclusions by filling in information of your own where none was provided by another.

I apologize if I misunderstood your suggestion here that you make 50k every 10 days via trading. You were just jesting? Seems like a subtle "suggestion" to me. If not, why else would you need to be paid that amount to Trade sim for any 10 days out of 30? Why not 5k or 20k? Anyway, I retract my interpretation of your post, if its wrong. Enter the combine and prove the TA naysayers wrong, if you dare! Surf :)
 
Quote from Brass:

Remember, surf "respects" Larry Williams, a TA guru with a shady past who just happens to also be a shameless and opportunistic vendor of mostly crap. And all because Larry gives him the time of day.

Larry now admits most if not all TA is crap. Sorry, no dice for you.

1)How about Maverick74, who uses TA?

2)Do you actually plan on (simulator) day trading with your "price drivers"?

1. I don't believe Mav uses TA charts as his primary trading method if at all

2. Yes

Quote from marketsurfer:

No, let me tell you why. ALL the big trend funds run multiple trading programs or funds under their umbrella. The winners are promoted and the losers are pushed under the rug. Obviously, guessing on direction can and does work-- its called trend following. It can also not work, but the fact is there is no edge there. hope this makes sense to you. best, surf

That was from 1986, the dark ages as far as trading is concerned. Not to mention. PTJ chart predictions were over a year off and completely wrong.

80-100 million profit and tripling a fund in 1 trading day is a result of being wrong ?
 
Quote from marketsurfer:

Wife is half my age and ultra motivated---so that's not the issue.

This is what happens-- I start out doing the treadmill for 2 weeks or so, then I hurt my ankle or something happens, so I quit. It's very difficult for me to get motivated physically although I do hike and walk often. It's pushing for the peak levels of intensity that is hard for me. surf

Plus I love to eat, so it's doubly hard! I know these are weak excuses.

Very interesting. You just listed the main causes why people are not successful in trading, particularly TA trading too.

NoDoji also listed these causes in her excellent post.
