There is a reason why there is no useful information here...that reason is because most useful information on the market is un-noticed. If its posted here, then its probably been noticed by quite a few people. So how do you notice things before everyone else? Haha. Thats a very difficult question and that is why "money managers" get paid so much cash. You see how difficult it is to spot trends and trade a relatively small account. Now imagine trading an account 100+ times that size... So if you see it here, then its probably a useless strategy or a useless pick. Its probably best to fade it or to look from afar learning from the poster's mistake. Did you honestly think you could master the market from a message forum that is accessible to the public? Honestly? If you think that you can master the market from some random postings on a message board then you have to re-think. You have issues and you need to sit down to figure things out...
My call: On a side note, TraderZones virtual bullmarket top is IN. He should quit now at the top, take profits and retreat to a bear cave to enjoy his bullmarket spoils. The attacks will get exponential as the BEAR comes out of hibernation #2 -------------------------------------- http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=190835 (2nd post on page 2) borderline sycophantic & obsequious behaviour only occurs when power has just started reversing inward. -------------------------------------- http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=191767 (see last post by moderator) nitpicking and bs excuses to lay it on a bullmarket icon are to be expected at bulltops. ---------------------------------------
That's easy. A fellow who knows what he wants, knows it when he sees it. Its that simple. Newbies come to ELITE to learn/improve/master trading so they can make money as a trader. As for bulletin boards being worthless, WRONG! I remember getting on a board to practise/learn/develop skills in Windows NT, Photoshop, Pagemaker etc., - fckin magnificent it was. Almost every week there were great techniques demonstrated, discussed and questions answered. I could have gone on to be a graphics artist with the knowledge I acquired online and earned a decent enough living from that - if I chose to do so. Your expectations are too low. I fully expect a place called ELITETRADER to deliver the goods in spades. see next post for how I believe IMHO that things can get better ..
Missing the forest for the trees, heck not even that, missing the trees, the branches, the leaves and only zeroing in on the alveoli-that's ET in a nutshell. Get a few PROVEN top-notch traders back, one or more for equity trading and one or more for Forex - ditto for futures et al. Live action tutorials ought to do the trick without the master trader revealing his hard-found secrets. Repeated viewing and ack-ing the basics of TA in live action will improve anybody's skill level. Ditto for tealeaves/fundamental/ANY method. Back in engineeering school this was the method and it works. Fck, we build bridges, airplanes and whatnot from this simple method. What's learned in theory class is usually a jumbled mess in the mind, but come the tutorial class with mutual simple to tough problem solving and one walks out a fckin master. Give this new master a problem and he can start from first principles and derive forward. I'm willing to pay any fee on a monthly (or other basis) for this type of training at ET - other places are not to be trusted. ET is a 10-storey apartment building on a solid foundation; 100 more floors can be built if reqd., that's how strong the foundation is - the rooms are all basic, the lighting is meagre, so is the furniture. All this is OK = adequate. The problem is that the tenants are 99.99% vagrants. Keep these vagrants, but bring in some pros and put them on the newly constructed 11th floor. I'll walk out of such a class within 90 days and turn a handsome profit instantly - consistently!
Beautiful ET is my last stop; there's nowhere else to go; if she don't work out, I'm forsaking love for good. when BEAR gets underway and my ET whom I still love, is still breathing, this will be her song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR5GBRUUX7M ---------------------------------------- for baron-ess ... ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fa4HUiFJ6c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-kjIfx1aQo Even if I get banned, I luv all of you guys - every last one of you - make no mistake about that.
Good posts by Baron, the Guy has alot of humility responding to a douche like Rowschwanz. Keep this joint as is Chief. The truth of the matter is that twirps like Row make this place fun. The reason ET is still around is because it's a fun place, versus the boring version that you hall monitoring Pikers would like it to be. As for my friend Austin, come on back Buddy. Sure there are alot of morons around here. Some of the best stuff was when you used to engage them. It was like an old fashioned Turkey shoot. Rennick out ps. Think of ET like the NHL. Who the hell would tune in if they banned fighting. Or Nascar without crashes...BOOOORING!!!
Its been proven that children usually know exactly what they want to do/be as adults at a very young age - there's no figure-figure about it - if asked, the answer just shoots right to the surface from no matter how deep in the sub/unconscious realm its buried. Just an analogy and not saying baron is a child, but the inadvertent mention of "newbies and trolls" in the quote above tells me exactly what he thinks of the former - dumb, stupid cattle that generate revenue for him and his ilk. What are the odds that baron would listen to ANY newbie? About the same as a one-legged man winning a butt-kicking contest.
