Really? Link and quotes to your achievements please. For what it's worth so far you have not shown that you even understand 7th grade biology and how bees make love. How about a link to the wonderful competitions you won? Or the 100 million you made? Must have been on aT least 500 million investment unless you ran some insane risk. Please point us to it. We would love to learn from a Biologist how he outsmarts the rest. So far most in medicine or life sciences have shown that they are utterly terrible traders. But hey you may be the notable exception. Of course so far it's only words.

You are sounding like a real dick-- no need for attacking personally-- if anything, scat is being very humble--

Scat is telling the truth. I have no reason to say this other than its the truth, as I dont' believe TA has very much value--- but truth be told, Scat's accomplishments speak for themselves. surf

That is utter bullshit. What in historical prices tells you what "PLAYERS" are actually doing? And please explain to us why a 5 minute bar matters more than a 4.7532minute one. And please explain why people use time compression in the first place and not volume compression for example.

I concur with this. TA simply does not make sense---common or otherwise. They use a 5 minute bar because it is what "THEY" the market gives to them----- sad but true.

Surely that is the reason for majority failure rate, it's not low win rate in whatever method's being used, but again relaxed money management.

Tight money management has slowly blown many accounts, especially in post HFT-epoch futures intraday trading.

Marketsurfer,

Here's the truth of what makes it easy for you to gather an antagonistic nature in public forums.

You don't respect the method of other traders because what became possible for some, was impossible for you; you found profitability with your own non TA methods and that's great. Chances are I will never learn Price Drivers, whatever the fuck they are since you don't comment on them, but do I need to bash them because I use TA? That's just selfish and mean which is precisely how you act towards TA.

The answer is to not try to compete with them on extreme short term patterns.

I really don't care.

The surfer persona on this forum has enabled me to gain great traction in this biz-- not bad for an unconnected hick from pburgh-- not to mention lifetime friendships and a beautiful bride to top it off.

Remember, for every person who feels @antagonized" others are agreeing. So if what you are doing is working for you, by all means keep at it. Theres tremendous value in voicing your opinion and ideas in ways i couldnt imagine not so long ago.

You should care, because sometimes you insult fellow traders that don't deserve such treatment and as traders themselves, they deserve respect.

It's a brave thing to become one.
