Quote from Nebuchadnezzar:
His record as crayola trader is impeccable. Spydertader took it one step further. Why bother with real charts - he drew them by hand with crayola and traded live on those hand drawn charts at Las Vegas Expo. In a room full of normal people it would cause some fruits and veggies to be thrown at the presenter. Handdrawn price and volume bars. Now that's freaking funny.
Yes, many people came and spent a day with Spyder.
He did carefully point out the single pattern that occurs in markets. B2B 2R 2B for long and R2R 2B 2R for short. The pattern is a P, V pattern and it shows the relationship of price following volume.
From this, person always knows WMCN. For example, I have posted a day ahead the next 18 to 22 trades for the following day. This included the time and price of the pm BO as well. Secondly, in december one year I posted the seven price moves of the economy for the following year. Then it happened over the process of the year.
None of this is predicting at all. All it is is knowing WMCN based on the interlocking relationships of fractals and how they are built from the finest market granularity to the present very slow fractal Depression we are experiencing.
It is kind of funny, as you say, to those who cannot grasp how markets work But, on the other hand, to those who can, trading is a very smooth and orderly process.
So you have become "fixated" on a kind of success and a kind of failure. That is the way it goes. It is very important to understand that some people cross a line and it is irreversable to be able to get back over that line once it has been crossed.
Look at the financial industry; its members usually cannot grasp how markets work nor can they grasp how deductively oriented science can explain how markets work.
Covel spend eight hazardous years doing interviews of "Trendfollowing" and he never grasp that trend following doesn't work. A person must monitor and analyze trends instead.
This is how it is. The rules were posted and shunned completely. In about a month a lot more people will have passed on making over 2 million dollars because of how their minds work. Congratulations to all of you. Everyone gets to have a ha ha moment.
