trend following delusion shattered

[inandlong]

I'm not angry at all. You provided a lot of value for a long time around here, and I hate to see you take away from that. Anymore it seems all you want to do is be a rabble rouser. Of course, we have our share of rabble to rouse, me included. But that's beside the point.

You have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share for the benefit of others. As avalanche said, "pissing in someone else's cereal" is not the way to go about it. However, I know you know that. And because I know you know that, it is frustrating to see you do it.

I wish you'd go back to being the excellent contributor you were when I first joined the board. Those were the good ol' days.

Oh... I wanted to add... I'm not attacking you personally. However, the Hank Rollins persona... that's a different story.

the more people that say trend following doesn't work, the more i have faith in it.

Now, show us the chart of a trend that hasn't happened yet.

You can draw it yourself, if necessary.

i can see how that chart would offend a nickel scalper.

We can't predict the path of a hurricane with any certainty either (yet) but that doesn't mean that the NWS doesn't provide a useful service by projecting potential storm tracks with different probabilities.

In that case, I'll settle for a few reasonably approximate projective charts.

Nickel, give it a rest.

I showed 3 charts where trades were taken in the direction of my "imaginary trend" and where all the decisions were based on past price and you disappeared. You we so insensed at hammering Spike at the time I had to show the charts. I asked you to respond twice and you were gone! So don't ask to see anyones chart I already showed you 3 perfect examples. Perfect example of someone turning a blind eye to proof because they can't admit they were wrong.

My bad if I missed your charts.

That doesn't get present company off the hook, though. Besides, this is about future "trends." Charts of the past don't count for that.

The charts I posted were current at the time. The trades were taken on the direction of trend moving into the future. That is how profit is gained, when a trade, taken in the direction of trend, moves into the direction of that trend.
