Next signal (see picture) 774.1. It is true that this post is not intended to be a real time live trading room. Some one might want to sue me if they actually took the signal and actually lost money, but for the life of me I still have not been able to see in the strategy, how any trader, who used reasonable money management could do that. May be I am mistaken, so I do not want to be sued.
I actually did try to do some posts above very close to it happening. I am not very fast and doing that is very distracting for me.
You're not required to post real-time signal calls to prove anything to anyone. In fact, I would ignore anyone that continues requesting you to make real-time signal calls.
However, the continue hyping of "after the fact" information is poor taste and the moderator's own acknowledgment of your consistent use of particular words is spamming although the moderator is unable to see such constant hyping as spamming.
Now straight to the point, if you need help...get to the point and state specifically what you need help with without the continuing hyping of the methods "after the fact" performance.
Yet, if you feel the need to make a real-time signal call...specifically state if it's a Long or Short instead of saying signal @ 774.10 because that implies it could be Long or Short and allows you to choose "after the fact" the direction of the call.
If confused...see below:
A) Long @ 774.10
B) Short @ 774.10
C) Signal @ 774.10
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine that C) can be easily manipulated "after the fact" to say it worked as in being profitable whereas in contrast A) and B) removes the issue of "after the fact".
For example, Emini TF just did a volatility spike upwards as I'm typing this message reply to you...after your message "signal @ 774.10". Yes, it continued upwards to 776.30 and currently trying to retrace back downwards.
Now you can say you have made a real-time call but you didn't say if it was a Long position or Short position. Yet, now that you see what Emini TF did the past few minutes...You can say "after the fact" it was a Long signal even though you didn't not specifically state such in your quote.
A real-time call involves stating the price and direction of the trade. One without the other can imply anything.
Once again, you aren't required to make real-time calls and some of the best trade journals at Elitetrader.com do not make real-time calls. In fact, I highly recommend you don't give in to the requests to make real-time calls. Yet, if you do it...state the price and direction of the trade or signal call. Further, I strongly believe you should
stop the hyping of the method because it is an old usenet spam tactic.
With that said, this is my last post in this thread because I've made my point to you and to the moderator
(shame on both of you). Thus, there's no need for me to keep repeating the same thing and to do such would make me a troll.
