  2. It is casting pearls before swine.
    Agree completely that interacting with these folks (or even reading their posts) isn't healthy.

    A major benefit of this business is the freedom to avoid idiots. I've respect for anyone who takes time to write some thoughtful posts to help others, but sadly 99% of it seems to be drowned out by morons; I can see why people don't find any value in putting themselves out there.

    Continued success to you both.

  3. The main reason they don't put themselves out there is for fear of showing people they are incapable of attaining value. Here's something I put out there earlier in the thread that these "successful" day traders are unable to do. Success can be quite easily measured by the individual's fear. The genuine successful has a healthy respect for risk, while the pretenders are immobilized by it. The difference is very easy to discern via nothing beyond a few forum posts. The BS'ers are usually very fragile.

    WTF? You are implying that sellindexvol66 and rallymode are incapable of attaining value?

    That your post containing an MA Ribbon and a RED arrow is something of value, worthy of discussion?

    This all coming from an individual who by self admission isn't profitable?

    ET is reaching new lows...

  7. We know for a fact neither sellindexvol66 nor rallymode is capable of producing red arrows. But be careful, you could be digging yourself into a hole. I am a specialist in helping people in the digging.

    Perhaps like d08, you don't realize the significance of the little arrow. It can potentially turn into a monster and eat you alive.
