I appreciate your openness but will not reveal it as openly to show total volumes, CTS username ( :eek: ) etc. You obviously have the right to not believe what I post, no problems about it from my side.
Cornix, serious question, what happened in Forex trading? Your name use to be CornixForex and you started on this site as an FX expert. why the switch over, did you blow up in FX? Nothing wrong with that, just curious about what happened. thanks
I like to be impartial so... The argument about no live calls is weak considering you allegedly traded today while writing tremendous amount of posts in your very own journal during the time you typically trade NQ.
The journal is named "cornix's TA Performance" not "cornix's advanced calls of entry order placements , exit order placements, and canceled orders." Let the man post his blotters. If you think he is photo shopping or misrepresenting his trades for the day, simply ignore the thread.
I think you set yourself up in your opening first statement via being clear that the purpose of this thread is to show you're using TA profitably...it attracts more debates that often derail most threads like this one. Also, you're also setting yourself up via engaging (replying) those against TA here in your thread. Eventually the rat pack will show up to ruin your journal. Not sure why you're doing such but hopefully its not because you think others at ET has not proven TA works for them when in fact several have over the years. Further, there's already existing "Trader P/L" threads. There's also old journals (profitable users of TA) where folks posted real-time trades...others posted statements and one particular guy posted daily actual videos of his trades. Yeah, these folks didn't have journals that lasted many years but they did show for the time span they did their journal, they were profitable while using TA even though the OP of the thread did not have the goal to prove TA worked. Thus, their journals were for other reasons and they weren't doing such as a reaction to those that don't like TA. Simply, they used TA but didn't talk about it in their journals. That's my opinion about why those types of journals go "under the radar" and don't get much attention. I think that's the best way to prove TA works because any other way (like this thread)... It will never satisfy the TA haters especially when you use words like "pure TA" when in fact you're using other tools (e.g. trade management, trade experience, discipline, money management). The only folks I would say that can use those types of words like "pure TA" are automated traders that are into TA. With that said, considering you're using this thread to prove something...you're going to need a minimum to two types of verification to corroborate each other that most traders can easily do on their own without a third party involvement. 1) P/L Blotters with recorded video of trades 2) P/L Blotters with real-time trade post 3) Real-time trade post with recorded video of trades 4) P/L Blotters, recorded videos and real-time trade post (too time consuming for the average trader) Recommend you post this info "outside" of ET and then just link to it here at Elitetrader.com so that you'll be 100% in control of the content...resulting in less arguments. P.S. Anyone that thinks the average ET trader should be providing more proof beyond the above...you're being unrealistic.
Cornix, Wow such a long thread already. Is it possible, you post a chart of ES and/or CL, with one of your past profitable trades on it. I know the haters don't like previous chart annotations, but some of like to learn new things. If you don't want to do it in public, can you just e-mail it to me. I been studying my trade now that I finished trading for the day to make sure I understand completely why it worked so I can replicate it in the future without doubt that I entered a good setup.
