Those are mostly mistruths by the Vendor and Educational salesman WRB and his merry band of helpers. Marketsurfer rarely if ever personally attacks anyone--- PLEASE POST EXAMPLES of unprovoked personal attacks or ANY personal attacks. These are clear misreprenstations in an attempt to silence the truth via " alias assasination".
Not to mention no crazy claims, no never a losing day, and very little other statements made with the goal of self agrandization or luring noobs to their own or friends books, products or services. surf
Thanks for answering my questions. I was curious why that thread was not derailed by the same trolls considering that thread has a ton of price action discussions. I guess only Mav or ET management can answer my other question if he was or was not a past moderator considering most past moderators are not trolled or stalked by someone in the trading related threads. Anyways, that thread is on the sticky thread best thread list...I even voted for it due to its price action content, options talk and many other trading topics that traders should be talking about...without the trolls involvement. It's even one of the few ET threads I've recommended on social media when Baron was briefly experimenting with social media links. In case anyone is wondering...the OP of that thread is sbrowne126 and its listed in the Technical Analysis section @ http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=170318
What's up with the gonzo hate vibe? You took alot of time filling out the reasons---- little made sense there, however. I ignore questions that have obvious and clear answers. Dude, you can just place me on ignore and marketsurfer vanishes from elite. I realize that you have much invested time wise and mentally with the concept of technical analysis/price action. as well as believe your mentors and gurus every word thus defend them vigerously. Learning how to get along with others with different ideas is key-- not to mention the ability to think for yourself rather than guru following. May I suggest that you read "evidenced based technical analysis" and "winner take all" prior to wasting any more screen time. Best wishes if I am placed on ignore. I tried to direct you in the right direction. I betcha you will thank me within several years. surf
I really have no interest in partnering up with a thousand different low-ball vendors who all of sudden feel like they can post whatever they want because they are paying a nominal fee. I prefer to keep the bar high when it comes to bringing new paying sponsors on board. Furthermore, I've never had a problem with getting new sponsors or maintaining them. I have great relationships with all of my sponsors and I work very hard on a daily basis to keep them happy.
No hate, just that you are really tedious and too obtuse to realise it. Going around telling people to put you on ignore is really pathetic. I've already stopped posting in your journal because you lack integrity. Unlike you, I keep an open mind. I use a derivative of ACD for my trades, and I'm looking to add filters to that to improve on it. I also look at fundamentals as in earnings forecasts and compare that with what is happening with price. I pay a huge amount of attention to macro factors. But all this is alien to you of course. You remind me of the old Chinese proverb, "A closed mind is like a closed book; just a block of wood." Except in your case you have the whole lumber yard up there.
You completely misunderstand. First, you really shouldn't care what I or anyone else thinks-- but just for the record--- TA can be part of a complete trading plan-- it fails when it is used EXCLUSIVELY as preached by the Price Action proponents on this site. Your trading strategy listed above makes sense to me. surf
You are quite intent on turning this, and every thread, into a debate on TA. I really have no interest in that. I posted here because I care about the future of ET. That's it. I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. George Bernard Shaw
Exactly what that troll wants. His goal is to hijack another thread and turn it into another TA debate and try to bait you into another TA argument. In fact, he knows darn well those I've seen him debating with in the past do not promote TA here at ET as some holy grail, they do not only use TA as such nor support such, they in fact use other things arguably more important than TA in a complete trading plan except for a few traders... In contrast, those he say believes in what he's against about TA (e.g. NoDoji and cornix), they have not posted once in this thread unless I missed their message posts. Just another verification of surf's agenda. He's got a personal vendetta against certain ET members which is why he doesn't go into the ACD thread and post the same crap. It's the only explanation why he's in this thread trying to bait folks into an argument about TA that don't use TA as such (e.g. you don't need anything else) because he knows those people don't like his personality and don't like how he's consistently hijacking threads. I'm starting to think surf is sharing his user name with someone else because in the past year prior to him going on my ignore list...he would reply with things like I believe in the same thing or it makes sense to me or those I'm friends with use it that way and then later in a different thread start debating with you as if you had said something completely in the contrary as if you had a view that TA all by itself (nothing else) works. You think I'm kidding. At a later date, he will respond to you as if any prior public agreements about TA has never occurred between you and him. Also, he'll reply to someone else in the same thread you're participating to imply you have a different view about TA use... That's a troll behavior...its stalking and harassing under the facade of TA or protecting the newbie. Next, when he's been busted, he'll announce the thread isn't about him or he'll say can we please stay on topic or he'll say you shouldn't care what he thinks while he obviously can't listen to his own advice.
