1. No, I have not read the thread form start to finish. I have read Mark's posts on the thread because as usual on ET some jackass or in this case jackasses get a hair up their ass trying to pin someone to the mat over something that is not the focus of the conversation. 2. You are right, I did learn much, I learned that my conclusion of the lack of critical thinking on ET was correct and that you are entertaining to the point of being annoying. I don't think you could grasp what the points he was actually talking about were because you were too busy trying to pin him to the mat over one statement. Your uncontrolled mind made you tangent and you fouled up another thread. Is Mark boastful? Yes, but he has walked the talk, and shit, he is a Texan. Is he the mad scientist type who might not communicate perfectly every time with everybody? Most likely. But it does not change his knowledge and experience, this is the point you don't seem to be able to grasp and why ET is the #1 "Social" site for traders and not a larger repository of knowledge. How is it verifiable? F@#$CK! Do I have to ask you to read the thread you just asked me do read, he posts his trading journey on it and the release date of his oddball system is on the net.
Yeah, didn't think so. He made some extraordinary (read: outlandish) claims. And you think holding him to account to explain himself is getting a hair up your ass? What was it you said about critical thinking?
She trades "E6" though. Have you ever seen any inkling that she's competent? Her Lukas nick says she trades CL. I'd love to see that.
The point of the thread you are fixated on was simply removing time segmentation. That is it. It was stated in the first post and the survey. But obviously you missed that with your hyper critical thinking ability. You just don't get it do you. That's all right, go ahead and continue being argumentative and being the ET tangent truth seeker and miss something else of value.
I never thought about it one way or the other because I don't really follow anyone's trading-related posts with any sense of continuity; my attention is drawn more to extraordinary claims, be they in P&R or upstairs. The thing that struck me most is that both she and NoDoji wrote similarly and often at length, liked the same trading authors (including and especially the dreaded Al Brooks), reported to trade in what appeared to be in a generally similar manner from what little I gathered and possibly the same markets, and had pretty much the same following. I don't recall if NoDoji had anything to say about TST, but I found Xela's dogged defense of it somewhat suspect. Just my take.
