Quote from ProfLogic:
You are I are exact opposites. I only believe that which I can verify myself and you are willing to trust any one that is able to speak or in the case of this forum . . . type. I personally wouldn't believe anyone that PM'd me either way. I wouldn't trust anyone telling me that my stuff worked for them any more than I would trust someone telling me the opposite.
Hundreds of people write books on their experiences in trading and the markets and people buy the crap out of them, trade and fall on their collective asses.
Because of my background in problem solving I learned in the very beginning of that process, that process of learing new environments doesn't work. And believe me when I say that SUCCESSFUL AND CONSISTENT trading is new because everyone and their brother is still searching for it.
I started from scratch at building what I've created so it can be duplicated by anyone willing to put the effort into verifying it for themselves. The problem is that very few traders have the patience to see the process to the end. It isn't a long time needed to confirm what I do but if it does take 90 to 120 days.
Then you hear blood vessels burst and people screaming bloody murder, "IT TAKES HOW LONG???, BUGGER THAT I WANT A FASTER RETURN." But then they will take the next 2 years trying to find a "FASTER" way. Now to me that is shear ignorance but then I'm not trying to convince anyone that what I do works. I trade and I'm successful and if someone wants to learn it I will help them. If they have the patience to apply it, I will have the patience to help them. When their patience gives out . . . I'm done. Why . . . because I'm still trading profitably. I've had about 20 people PM for the indicator in MultiCharts and Tradestation and I have given it to all of them for free. I figure that a few of them have the patience to varify what they are seeing for themselve. They are the ones that matter and the only ones that matter. The ones that whine they want proof first will be wondering aimlessly through this process never finding success. We all know that only about 5% of the people that try trading succeed but most never think about why that number is so low. It's because people don't want to put in the effort to figure it out for themselves, they want it handed to them.
I was the best problem solver my company had and has had since I retired. That was because I never gave up on a problem and I never believed anything anyone ever told me about the potential solution to the problem. When the company sent me out on a job, I interviewed everyone then I started from scratch just like no one told me anything and let me tell you that in only about 1% of the cases was given and I solved was any of the information I got from those I interviewed any help in solving the problem. Even the engineers that created the environments I was troubleshooting were clueless as to what the cause or causes were that created the problems.
If you don't understand what I am trying to tell you then the thread is better off left to its own bearings and you can put yourself on the company of some rather smart but tunnel-visioned engineers.
