Hmmm, the TA brigade claims differently. In fact, their leader calls her system an ATM machine--- http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=250930&perpage=6&pagenumber=13 The pl. thread is hardly a controlled environment for testing. I agree, 10 days is too short, but at least it's a start. Why do the trading gurus here avoid it for the most part?
Maybe Borsellino doesn´t like the "Scout team will draft you ...........and additional evaluation time may be requested" happy trading eagle 11
Surf anyone with a half a brain (and i hope you are simply playing this up and not serious) realizes if you need backing and this is legit its possibly well intentioned. For you to taunt others who think its a waste of time denegrates the intention and believabilty that this is legit.... furthermore i am considering that this quite possibly may be yet another scam with you and mav using this as a feeble attempt to pay your bills. Tell me this is not the case?
what would TST do with a print like this? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3652747
No, I truly believe this is a good idea to get people back excited about the markets. I don't work for or with TST nor am I getting paid to promote. I only request proof from those who make extraordinary claims. It's not taunting, it's asking for verification. They twist and turn every which way except to present evidence in a controlled setting such as the Combine. Their excuses are ridiculous.
Domestic, please leave me out of the scam talk. I have no affiliation with this firm nor does Surf. He asked me to do this combine with him and I obliged despite having a plate full of other things on my table at the moment both personal and professional. I'm quite surprised by you to actually make the accusation against me. I assume I'm misinterpreting your comment and I apologize in advance if I did.
Mav, i said "considering" ( in other words one of many guesses, speculations on my part.."my part" is the operative word) Knowing how much time i have after a real trading day (sure i am raising a young family and wife, then more vix studies at night taking more time) i find it hard to see how you can dedicate so much time to this unless there is a return from it. Sorry if i made it sound like you were doing something underhanded... But cmon. U spend more time on this than i do trading the curve. Even now apart from trader pl posts, i am taking important time away from my modeling and find it hard to fathom posting thousands of words and the assumed work involved doing sims.
Sellindexvol, I spend minutes a day on this. I was asked to participate and felt everyone on the other TST threads would go apeshit if I refused. So I went along with it. I honestly don't have any time to put into this and for that I feel bad. I put a few limit orders out in the morning with stops and minimize the platform. If they get hit, I put a time stop on them and get out. It requires no time. I wish I could do more with it but at the current moment I just can't free up the time. Like I said, I felt obligated not to back out and I spoke to Michael about this. But the talk of scam this scam that, it just gets old after awhile. We are all adults here. I've tried to keep this thread on topic and have had no such luck. Nothing but personal attacks page after page. Everyone is attacking everyone on every issue under the sun. ET is really waring on me. The childishness just gets so old. It blows my mind that so many otherwise mature and intelligent adults have to resort to this behavior day in and day out. I apologized to Magna earlier for my involvement in any of those posts as well and I'm simply ignoring all the stupid rants for now, which means 90% of this thread. I hope this explanation will suffice for now. You and I have known each other for years so I was somewhat taken back by the post. You know I have been trading for 15 years and the last thing I would do is run a scam on ET. I think the same goes with Surf. I've met him in person and he is a stand up guy in real life. As I'm sure you are. Next time I'm in the NY/CT area I'll buy you a drink.
You do realize that your participation doesn't prove anything either way??? In short, you are wasting your time.... Just so you know....
