Whatever. Just so long as you get a room. People are trying to eat here.

OK surf,
I think we can summarize your views :

Trend Drift TM = Real, true thing, actually exists


TREND FOLLOWING and TREND = Not real, false, does not exist
Your post is nothing short of art.
 
It is pale in colour with a slight greyish tinge under crusty white mould; very soft and savoury with a hint of ammonia. The white mouldy rind is moderately tasteful and edible, and is not intended to be separated from the cheese during consumption.

Looks like we've had a productive weekend.

Looking forward to next week, I'll be testing out this Trend Drift concept. :p

Having combed through every chart of every tradeable indice I can think of this weekend (Financial Futures, Stocks, Currencies, Currency Pairs, Energies and Metals) it seems to be the one true corollary of trading.

I know this crowd knows what it means, but just in case: "In mathematics, a corollary is a statement which follows readily from a previously proven statement, typically a mathematical theorem".

Good trading,

JJ

Could it be that you finally see the way surf talks from both sides of his mouth and employs Situational Semantics TM as the need arises? Does that mean that you read my post, which identified his contradictory comments, and then observed him spin his semantic web and excrete the obligatory defensive ooze which enables him to become sufficiently slippery (or so he thinks) to ostensibly extricate himself from the corners he habitually paints himself into? Could it be?


mr. dog, im surprised that a person of your obvious intellect is continually unable to grasp that there are no contradictions in my market philosophy.

it seems to me that you have an issue with flexibility, which is the true holy grail of trading. fixed systems all get slaughtered eventually.

if you will, layout what you see as contradictions so that i can understand that of which you speak.

regards,
surf
 


spell it out specifically. is it because "at times" which i believe is a given and not needed to be said was left off of "Buy and hold works" ? that has you all confused??


its you who are confused.... boneheads who buy the top tick--- yeah hindsight is 20/20 --one only knows its top tick after the fact, why would you call these people boneheads??

Actually, that is NOT the case and your possible hopes of turning surf’s cheese into a nondairy substance, should be voided on mystical basis. Had I stated “Only you could make these baloney posts and get them ET-trademarked”, I would surrender to your insightful reading of the words that roll off my fingers tips. However, I distinctly and deliberately included “living off the high of annaland, a world of ecstasy”, which, although to you the finger-words may not add any significance, changes the gist and interpretations of the original content. :)

Not true.

Here is a chart which utilizes the Trend Drift concept. The settings are for a position trader, and while you may take a trade intra-day, quite often a move will continue for a substantial amount of time (particularly in the currencies and bonds, less so in the futures).

While the chart nailed these two entries, the system actually will only win 3 out 4 / 4 out 5 ... :D.

Losses are flexible, as your stop may not be hit before you are required to change/close your current position, however the maximum loss is for approximately 1/4 times your maximum win ... :D :D (if that much, because it is designed to keep you in the trade for the duration of its run, and as we have seen, some of these currencies and energies can run).

However, you don't try to hit every squiqqly line, and you must be sufficiently capitalized to trade in such a fashion (not really a great method for the 3 tick e-mini s&p traders).

Good trading,

JJ

P.S. For anyone actually reading this stuff, I edited the win percentage, LOL. It wins often and well, but you will have to take the occasional hit, and it's going to be more than 2pts ES or equivalent.
