Surf's Special Situation Journal

Why aren't all these Brooks' disciples swinging a big bat and living large? Shit, Brooks lives in a $400k home in Cali. I would think the book revs alone would allow for a better lifestyle.

Quote from Samsara:

As is Maverick74. ACD is reading price action and volatility based on prior price behavior, measured by price history in <i>charts</i>. It's been documented in plain sight here, and it's got real solid logic to it. Mav, like you, deserves an overwhelming amount of credit for what he's done, aside from his own personal integrity.

But I'll say it again, Goodboy will ignore all evidence to the contrary, because his objective here is not a rational discussion about whether past price behavior can be used to take positions with positive expectancy.

He has no choice but to ignore how Maverick74 or austinp trades.

If this is true, Surf has NO ARGUMENT anymore. All he's "demanded" is for just one TA trader to show a workable method.

Surf, if Mav is successful, will your world just end? How will you deal with the fallout of being wrong?

They're still trying to work their way through his first book. It was published only 3 years ago.

All surf wants is stuff he can write about, the more controversy he creates, the more responses ,thus more info

Yes, marketsurfer has demonstrated a remarkable capacity to ignore inconvenient questions.

Quote from NoDoji:

I absolutely approve; however, I do not know lilbit, so s/he is not my student. Our only contact was a few PMs centered around Geez' old journal.

I don't think lilbit trades futures, so if s/he will act as my proxy I need to either find out if lilbit's trading style is similar to mine or provide a crash course in how I trade

Austin is a pure technical trader who appears to have stepped up to the plate. Are you writing him off for some reason?

Nodoji is correct,
I am neither her student, nor a futures trader. I trade stocks only, but I am a pure technical trader who has benefited from the likes of Geez and Nodoji's journals, although I trade even more simplistic than both of them combined. At first I thought making $100-200 a day was below avg, but by watching some of the intraday swings that some people are willing to take, and watching how Maverick waits for exactly what he wants, I would consider myself a very well established TA trader. One who is now very happy with $100-200 a day.

It is my wish that Mav remains succesful in the Combine. Mav doesn't make ANY claims about trading ability. The challenge goes out to the TA warriors such as NoDoji, yourself, hershey-- all the ones with the wild claims of success and longevity. NOT ONE OF YOU have stepped up to the plate, why not?

I'd be willing
