How the fuck would YOU know what industrial espionage is "restricted to"? If a company is kicking their competition's ass right now with some new product, the competition isn't concerned about next year. The want to know what is goin on right now. A freakin' six year old can figure that out. The reason you don't know we're talking about an original idea is because you know fuckall about creating an indicator. You live under the nitwitted delusion that whatever shit strategy you're suffering with right now is only "a tweak or two" away from some "dynamite methodology.". ROTFLMAO! As somebody who has actually seen a real trend indicator, I will tell you this much: it looks nothing Ike MACD, it looks nothing like ADX, it looks nothing like anything in the pubic domain. A "tweak or two". LMAO!
What if you put a NASA scientist/scientists on reverse engineering a rocket ship? There were no rocket ships when cave people were alive. No cave people when rocket ships were made. A cave person might be able to reverse engineer a spear used to hunt for his dinner.
You really are the best. I say "by and large" and you come back with the misquote "restricted to" every single argument you make is a straw man. I never once mention an indicator and you tell me "you don't know fuckall" about creating an indicator. Right or wrong an argument makes no sense when you insist on misquoting. The process falls apart.
