Greatest Trader of all time or Fraud?

    Thanks. I was waiting for your expertise. He's just plagiarised "your" T-line I believe, albeit very basically.

    "Greatest trader ever" based on 5 "perfect" buy/sell signals which looks like a screenshot taken from about 80% of the trading software ads over the last 30 years? What am I missing? Anyone could Photoshop that or just scroll through a trading system's hypothetical performance until they find a perfect, cherry-picked group of trades that happened to be winners.

    Thanks dude but ... that ain't my T-Line, lol. Stephen Bigalow's Alaska buddy liked it and they started using it that way. I found em on youtube. Sometimes it works. ymmv. He's got a freakin boatload of stuff, J-hook, Muffin top, Frypan bottom, on and on. The simple crap seems to pop up in all the fancy stuff anyway so...

    Likewise on the 'expertise' thing. I recognize a Buick from a Toyota from a Caddy, from a F150. Ain't no thing but a chicken wing.
    I do nothing that anybody else can't do. Anybody.
    The stuff I use is simple price action found on websites far and wide.
    Pick one that speaks to you, check it out on a dozen charts, Likee, check 88 more. Still Likee?

    Here's some stuff. ymmv. Feel free to work your way from newest to oldest posts in this link stack.

    Tell your friends. The more people that use the same stuff that I do, the better I like it.

    If you find some charts you like?... Post em up here. You do not need to trade them, you do not need to splain nothing to nobody, just post whatever you feel like with the chart, ask questions, tell opinions, make predictions, hindsight is just fine for showing what happened, if you claim that you made some money in hindsight, you gonna prolly hear some frictional static and textual insubordination. Pissing matches may end up with a special thread all their own, lol. Charts are King up in here, link...

    It would be interesting to see some papa of a bright 5th grader casually let them mark up and do stats on printouts of 12 random charts of a classic-double-top setup trigger pair with standard stop and 100% target, some saturday for a buck or two a setup. Just pad and pencil the numbers in columns. Paper pencil math to in the head math is fine. Spreadsheet later.

    If that kid resonates with this stuff, bet they pay for college as a point of pride if they still find one of use for making contacts, automation ed, and whatnot. Prolly have a couple of multi-unit rentals by that time too. Maybe even tweet the proud papa entries and whatnot. My theory is that humans get more experience but less intelligent as time passes. Get both early and what's difficult as an adult is taken for granted as a kid. Multi-lingualese for example.

    You're just promoting him or is it yourself?
    One chart means nothing. If he's following signals, how does it work on for example all ASX components?

    Lol.

    Not me, and certainly not promoting him. I don't trust him. As I posted, he previously said he Trades along the 50 ema. Then after someone else posted about the T- line, this person miraculously posted the Chart in OP, claiming this was his "mechanical system".
    As I told a Mod, I don't trust the veracity of his Chart, BUT, I'm wondering if it's possible.

    this posting is of poor quality.

    There is zero evidence to show that this is the greatest trader of all time.

    The fact he's claiming to have picked the turns, to the Candlestick, if true, would make us all Billionaires. I think he's full of it. BUT, is there any possibility?

    I can post a link to where you can publicly go and call him a Fraud. I'd love for that to happen, but probably not appropriate.

    No point calling him a fraud. Those charts are cherry-picked. I used to do this many years ago when staring at charts at 4AM. Next day ran the backtest and my visually "perfect" trades were failures when properly analysed.
