I think the combine could have been a kind of demo contest.
I do not know though what is the ET's members success rate there.
But now as they have removed all performance parameters, success rate could increase.
Yes, you are correct in second paragraph.
Once it becomes easy to originate "flow charts" for other approaches, then most time is spent dealing with how to "bridge onward" to understand the ways in which the overlap of different methods contributes to moving towards the Holy Grail.
Also, I monitor the "pieces" others accept and then incorporate into their approaches. This info tells me better where they are on the spectrum I keep that addresses effectiveness and efficiency.
Most recently I added sun trader to my monitoring list. Probably, I will be drop him this weekend.
Some of the "reads" I look for involve the following:
1. Having all four components required for any system.
2. hold/reversal trading instead of entry/exit.
3. Misuse of data to forward trends when the data has no stat sig (or deductive reasoning sig)
4. Using the market variables correctly with respect to their independent and dependent roles.
5. use of leading indicators of price.
6. knowledge about how trend failures ocur.
7. gating and kills of item 1.
8. Showing interrelationships of OOE's
9. People who know that there are different defined types of trends.
10. People who steal from others.
11. "lucky" events.
12. I will look at those who use the wrong kind of math. I am interested in how the standard of performance is being set.
13. NSF grantees to understand how bad it is in government perception.
14. Knowledgeable in theory of learning.
15. Knowledgable in nuerobiology and neurology.
I rank many PA types in ET. I also note where they use limitations to not allow acquisition of further skills and knowledge.
Lastly, I keep a three ring binder of people who make major transitions to different and better trading plateaux.
Google P&L threads in ET.
A contest would wreck ET.
I've already demonstrated prowess in calling major moves over the years. No one give a shit. They just want to talk trash. It's as if they don't actually want to see it done, prefer to think its impossible.
I still display my acumen on twitter, but to a select audience. No stocktwits for me.

We are lucky there a great traders like Jack Hershey, NoDoji and MarketSurfer and my friends on the JCP Short Forum, I know there are real diamonds here and I am trying to learn T/A to better understand your genius. "newWurld" has been a great teacher here on Elite and Magna is a awesome dude!
I can't tell if that was sarcastic.
I think you're OK here, though I almost choked reading the list.
