Interesting.. thanks for the suggestion. I'm actually not looking to follow anyone... I just need to kill time in between doing replay sessions when my brain needs to rest. It would be cool to actually to see someone who makes damn good calls in the futures market, but I really am not looking to invest the time into finding someone because I know this is not all that helpful for my own trading.

I am not yet a father but I feel like it would be cool to actually teach my son something and have him look up to me. I understand the intent to want to teach your child how to find information himself, which is a useful skill, but this example is I don't think the best example. You've taken an opportunity to bond with your son and made the experience impersonal.
Not requesting to be spoon fed, but I am requesting that people who are sharing a trading method to show how they use this method themselves to trade profitably. If their trades on their chart don't line up with what the method says is a good place to put the trade on, then you have to wonder why they aren't following their own method. If they can't show a chart with their own trades, then why the heck should anyone else use it?
If someone at work bakes a good cake and I try a piece and love it and they give me the recipe, then I've got something to go on. But if they give me the recipe to a cake and I find out that they've never baked in themselves, nor do they use this recipe when they want to bake a cake, then you have to wonder what good is this recipe if the person giving it to you won't even use it!
Why? My reason is that its because I know the members here somewhat well, its a fairly small community, and there is opportunity to ask questions. Plus, I have a fairly decent posting history which I think gives me some street cred, and therefore makes people more liable to help me. If I venture to some other site, its like starting all over again and I don't have the energy or time for that.

Ok, once again you've lost me.
You've jumped from my conversation about "usefulness of Google" to something else involving ET members trade methods.
Look Kp, I'm not an expert in research but I can say that I use Google almost every day. I'm a big fan of it. Seriously, its a great resource for just about anything in life.
Yet, some of the stuff you're requesting and when someone gives you a general link to something like stocktwits and you're not able to navigate that social media place for traders and via any trading related topic key word...I find that a bit odd.
Seriously, someone the other day asked me if I knew anyone that uses "Linear Regression" in their trading. I myself spend 1 minute on Google and typed "Stocktwits Linear Regression"...it came back with about 6 traders.
I then responded to the person that if he uses Google, he can find several names of traders on stocktwits that uses it. His reply..."who are they".
Geeesh, doesn't anybody these days want to use Google.
Anyways, good night and enjoy your conversation (complaints) about people not giving you the complete picture about trading...its a place you seem to forever be stuck at.
Good night to you too. Maybe you would be less frustrated if in the future you just put your energy towards posts where you actually want to be helpful. Not only will the person asking get something useful, but you will also have that warm funny feeling inside of you, knowing that you helped someone else. When you tell someone to just use google, you frustrate them, and waste your own time, which is clearly frustrating you as well.
Wyckoff was kind of cool guy it seems. I don't know if he invented this stuff or what. He was making charts with paper. He made indexes of representative stocks from different sectors. I think he sort of did some sector rotation but it's been a very long time since I read his book, can't recall. I think he bought the dips too, that is pretty much the heart of any trend following system that works.
