  2. 1. Yes by and large I got my ass kicked from 2003-2005. Actually a Bond short in 2003 was my single worst trade money wise.

    2. I made 4x or 5x more from 11/06-3/08 than I lost the the prior 3 years. My biggest losing year this decade was -25k in '05. I made 80k in one month on the break.

    Your first guess should be because his formula had pi in it, which has nothing to do with sane technical analysis.

    Because like Kut 2k2 said in his response, and look at the response that Pabst wrote after that too. I mean you couldn't just tell?

    I don't know Maestro and having nothing bad to say about him, but it was quite obvious he was just screwing around in his first post.

    Although , since than he has added some valid responses.

    I just can't believe you missed the first one as a joke........the rest of us got it.

    you can praise yourself endlessly on getting the jokes but I am more concerned on getting the answer to my question

    There's nothing insane about using pi in technical analysis. Perhaps you were thinking of phi.

    Guy, I don't praise myself on anything on this board, nor do I have time to debate or argue with you. You asked me why I thought so, so I gave you my answer, which seemed clear to a few people on the board.
    You don't like my answer...........whatever.
    Good Luck in finding your answer.
