    A day ago you were all about how others couldn't see things "in context" and now you ignore context because it suits you?

    I am with the other poster; you have a deal with Baron right? Stir things up and increase the number of page views?

  3. what about your nonsensical claim that you know how market works; you are contradicting yourself here buddy

  5. I believe I understand how the market actually works, that's why objective TA systems, as are all fixed systems, bound to fail-- not to mention the absurdity of the claims made by some using such systems.

    PS. do you live in OhiO?

    Again, why does it matter to you?

    So what if everyone on here is lying.

    So what if everyone on here is not lying.

    What does the above mean anyway? Truth according to you? You have already determined that anyone that does trade TA is not telling the truth.

    after all these pages in this thread the only thing that has been proven is you don't know how to trade. understanding how a market "works" and making money are two different things. you have shown you cannot make money. whether you understand the how the market "works" is irrelevant.

    I absolutely believe MadeMan is the real deal and I endorse him 100%, even though I know absolutely nothing about him.

    Why?

    Because he answered question #3 without hesitation and his answer was a number that I like.

    Well anyways, figured I might as well derail the on-going dialog here with a combine post.

    Began the morning at +$2,250 before costs in CL trading partial size into the early decline. Should of just held that 5-lot into the pit session open... there was the first of two +100 cent CL moves I was in. The second one was back up again.

    Real-money trading + $2,000 early success = shutdown mode for the day. We discussed that before. But I'm chasing performance here, so we partied on.

    Gave back that CL gain in the early buzz, then made it back again into the subsequent ramp. Price action during this final day of Nov - Dec rollover was all spastic v-turns and spike-drops. No way to put on methodical size... all 5-lots or less both ways.

    ZS gave an early buy signal near 1530, I set my order for that to fill, it blew thru and blew away straight to 1548 highs soon after. Then it spent the remaining 3+ hours hung up sideways like two dogs mating. Never moved more than a few cents up or down.

    Had I caught that lone ZS signal filled, would have been a solid day. Had the CL not been rollover completion spastic, ditto. But it finished like it did, and that's that.

    **

    Six of seven sessions so far we've reached $2,000+ gains (or greater) at some point in the session before deep draws. The other one was a straight-down loser where we never sniffed green all session. Again, real money trading + shutdown at the profit mark or above = methodical success.

    Three sessions left, need roughly +$9,000 total or $3,000 daily average to reach the profit objective part of requirements. Pretty solid chance we do that and more. The rest of criteria remains to be seen.

    See you tomorrow :cool:

  10. Try to satisfy the guidelines and breakeven P&L for the Nasdaq contract before trading other markets so you don't have to get "too many ducks in a row" later on. :cool:
