You sure about that? He/She has talked trash on every thread they've been on ... and their claim to fame is following after Mark Cook and his Cumulative Tick Indicator - which BTW has been very wrong these past few months, so he's resorting to blaming the Plunge Protection Team. Mark Cook Commentary *** Here's a clue folks ... the key to trading is Price Action everything else plays a secondary (volume) or tertiary (in the case of listenting to what a Guru has to say) role to your trading. There Hypo, is that sufficiently on topic? Later, Jimmy Jam
Funny you should mention integrity. Mark Cook's got a history as a trader, sure ... and he decided to parlay that success into becoming a trading teacher or vendor. Part of that requires you to own up to your mistakes when you're wrong, instead of blaming a Plunge Protection Team when the markets don't do what one of your indicators (which probably has a 50-60% success rate) says it will. Later A-1, keep trying, you'll get it right someday. Jimmy Jam
Ah, the "horse's ass" comment again (not to mention the gay inferences, boy there's really something stewing in your psyche). But anyway, have a nice weekend, it's a lovely one. Jimmy Jam
Conventional Orthodoxy. It's basically an attempt to goad the Jack Hershey folks into yet another pointless thread... Yes it works, you (insert your favorite internet slur here) No it doesn't, you (insert another favorite insult here)
The whole idea of this thread is a non-argument. Just cruising the trading day buying the ups and selling the downs in sequence is conventional.
OK, this thread couldn't get any fucking dumber, so I'm going to do my best to kill it by soliciting such sustained and outrageous abuse that it gets Chit-Chatted like it so richly deserves. A few months ago on commission from our beloved Dr. Emil Kraepelin I designed a thoroughly mediocre trend trading system. Why mediocre? Because he listed for me all his faults as a trader and paid me to design a system that would specifically thwart those faults. Mediocre trader, mediocre system. Just desserts. Predictably, it performs half-assed in a trend, maybe one-sixth as good as SCT. On a narrow range day like today it is absolutely abysmal and takes back everything it made on trend days. But wait! If I had FADED it today, it would have made money! I think I am on to something here! The UnConventional Orthodoxy (pronounced "uck-oh")! More to follow. Have at it, assholes!
