if you understand his stuff, it is ridiculously simple. it is sheer irony that Brooks, himself, is guilty of complicating it, himself by,as one ETian has said "flogging a dead horse" !!!!
Do you realize just how ironic your thread is? Not knowing how to apply a trading method after studying it--WTF? why even study it then?
It's called "stealth marketing" . Selling the Brooks mythos is the only reason for this thread. The non-thinkers, desperate, and illiterate obviously like the obfuscation of Brooks dribble so threads like these attract them. remember, the market attracts the exact people who are the least suited for it-- as evidenced in this thread. Carry on
i really like his honesty....learning a method is one thing to apply it in live markets is another. we are here to help each other, share trades, share charts and he has shared even losing trades,god knows there are hardly any charts posted here, and only comments mocking others is prevalent
what then should we discuss here, in a thread about Brooks method? are you a moderator? report this thread then. if you do not like the posts please post in anther thread....this is a forum for discussion.
The blind leading the blind. Why not learn trading from proven traders like with fundseeder for example?
Your large caps clearly misunderstood my message post. I did not say "don't discuss". In contrast, I specifically recommended to discuss at this forum in the private thread section to avoid the trolls or non-believers that tend to show up in Al Brooks threads. In addition, I did not say I did not like his post. Instead, I asked a few questions to see if there was a problem at Al Brooks forum because I notice traders posting simple questions at "other forums" instead of posting the same questions at Al Brooks forum. I even recommend that he look for the free chat room specifically for Al Brooks method users (you probably missed that part of the message post). There were 15 active users of Al Brooks method only discussing & answering questions about Al Brooks method. A few were members of this forum ET. Here's an analogy. Pretend you bought a Harley motorcycle and there's a Harley forum. Instead, you post questions about your Harley motorcycle at the Kia forum. In fact, you then notice others are posting questions about their Harley motorcycle at the Kia motorcycle forum. It would seem logical to ask them why are they posting questions about their Harley motorcycle at another forum for KIA motorcycles when there's a Harley motorcycle forum ??? Once again, I did not state, nor implied nor suggest that he should not post at this forum. Instead, I recommended this forum's private thread section after he meet others using Al Brooks method. Regardless, he did explain that he did try using Al Brooks forum but that he got not reply. I responded that it was odd that he didn't get a reply...you probably missed that part of the conversation too. P.S. You can loosen your belt now. wrbtrader
