Quote from max_skinner:
You should practice harder in being a better troll.
Your flaming is quite pedestrian and quite naive in hoping someone will disclose their strategy to you - an anonymous poster on a public forum just to prove their worth.
Hint - That's what context is all about.
Best,

Don't send me any more PMs whinging that you feel patronized by my straight forward post... I'm on about trading a failed break out for Christ's sake, it's hardly f-ing rocket science!!!
Quote from Zen Student:
You have very obviously avoided answering the question put to you.
You have also made the critical error of patronising someone who is far wiser than you.
You then proceed to spout gibberish perhaps in the hope your audience will mistake recycled cliches for expertise.
Those correctly tuned can see immediately from the quality of postings who knows what. A lot is revealed in the question put to you. Have the honesty to admit you do not know the answer to the question, and perhaps observe that you are best to question what you do not understand, rather than accepting what you are told always.
Empty your cup.
Quote from Zen Student:
You were patronising to Weaky, who asked an intelligent question. You palmed her off by suggesting more screen time and taking your setups, in such a manner as to make yourself out to be an expert.
You reply to me in the same manner - I suggested you empty your cup, and when you did not understand I gave you a frank answer in private, as it is not my wish to publicly embarrass you by stating what is obvious to some and not others.
Unfortunately you have already embarrassed yourself in public with your response to Weaky. I offered you two opportunities to think and correct your behaviour.
I do not waste my time in the market. That is neither here nor there. Your wisdom quite frankly isn't...it is the trapped mindset of one who is not a successful trader, and who will not attain that status unless an attitude change is implemented. (yes, I know what you are and are not, and I trust Weaky can see it too)
I was generous and polite in trying to prod you to have a realisation, using the Zen koan as stimulus. I then explain further by private route in order that you may realise your faux pas. You retort with rudeness. What more can I do for you?
Quote from Zen Student:
As you have chosen to disclose the content of my message to you, but completely out of context, I quote below my two Private Messages to you. You may post your unedited replies if you wish, for the benefit of the audience. I will not post your PMs without permission as it is against the site rules.
It was my choice to contact you privately in the first instance to save you any further embarrassment.
Quote from Fibbin-Archie:
Hardly my fault that you have chosen to feel patronized by my quite straight forward response, that's your issue why are you coming bothering me about it? You asked a question and I answered, It's a straight forward "bread & butter" trade set up...
Look here matey, you can go off and waste your time back testing parameters to nth degree if you want, but know this... you can test and test and test a system or strategy until you've tested it to death but at the hard right edge of a chart sometimes it will come off and sometimes it won't... your discipline and money management are the only things you can control... How's that for a bit of wisdom...
Quote from Fibbin-Archie:
Zen Koan? I'll google it.
If when you say, "I've retorted with rudeness" you're referring to the post in the thread, I've deleted it and I did so before I read this PM. I don't purport to be an expert, I just know what I've seen work in price action and what has worked for me.
And lets get real here I was talking about a very straight forward failed break trade set-up, what's to discuss, it's basic stuff...
You and Weaky are obviously into back testing, I'm not a back tester, I have a trend following strategy and I sometimes take opportunistic scalps such as failed break outs from triangles. It was not my intention to patronize Weaky and I feel bad if that is how he/she has taken it...

Quote from Fibbin-Archie:
And another thing, I find it to be a peculiar coincidence that two overly confident new posters happen to post on the same thread within minutes of each other.
