after reading this thread , it is quite obvious that delusions, obsessions, and religious fervor is alive and well in the trading world. the woodie room is a prime example of the depths that guru worship will sink to when provided a "simpleton" type messiahanic leader. this leader does not claim to save souls but he does claim--or his followers claim-- that he will save your trading soul and account. he has c5racked the code, he has the holy grail and he will teach you for free---he is an average joe just like you, you relate to him and trust him fully. one of the followers here went as far as to post " i have observed 100's of trades and most of them are winners" "its hard to be duped when you are watching in real time" when the leader or the follower is asked repeatedly for proof of claims--- they immediately deny this request and arrive enmass to attack the transgressor---who would dare question such a nice old guy like woodie ?? woodie is only trying to help you ! what dont you understand is their rallying cry. furthermore--- when followeres of the leader speak about the leader ( see kev's rant on trend posted on the wodie site" it is in reverent tones---- "do you understand trend ? wodie defines trends as....... wodie says..... woodie this woodie that--classic cult brianwahsing.
comm on` man... get yur facts straight before broadcasting that nonsense of yours
assuming often makes
jack asses
out of people when they're wrong
you're soo convinced you're right! all those nobodys disagreeing with you are wrong
wonder if you trade that way, too? the market must be wrong kinda thing ?
I'm the "--- its hard to be duped ---" "follower" haha you made reference to yesterday your
deluded religious nuts post ...
One of those nobody nuts. You want reality, truth? Here's a few straight facts:
I did investigate and for quite some time monitored the trading techniques advocated and used by woodie and others in his room.
I am glad I did. Met some real nice, seasoned trader people, and saw how others were using the CCI as their primary trading tool.
I was always amazed how some there could trade, post their trades near real time, answer questions and contribute to the chat discussion, all simultaneously. And make money. For me, however, it became distractive. Mixing continuous chit chat voice/text and my 1' charts wasn't working well.
So I ended my participation there over a year ago mainly for that reason
By the way Jack, I don't use the CCI for trading. Not because I doubt its effectiveness. Just that I never mastered the skill of using it to trade consistently well. But I know of others who have.
