    Actually they are pretty much non-existent.

    What about if someone asked you to post all your trades in such a public forum? Would you do?

    And you are sure because you know them all?
    Do you say the same also about the other research studies which came to the same conclusion? Ie. that nobody follows them?

    I Know You

    I am not trying to educate anyone, if I was, then I would display my ability real-time (or in advance) or provided the track record which led to the findings. Otherwise it's just his word and if you were to do a poll on ET on Marketsurfer's posting integrity you would be shocked at the ratio.

  7. some strategies you cant put an actual stop in the market. what about if you are making a market. I have seen pnl based stops used successfully. this does sound like a case of 'all or nothing' thinking.

    My conclusions are based on nearly two decades of trading, not hypothetical studies posted by dumbass ersatz "traders" or their tools.

    No, you just demonstrate that you have ZERO knowledge what a study means.
    If you dont believe his study, then there are at least 3 more similar studies who say the same. So what now?
    It's nobody else's fault than your own if you don't grasp the most simplest and obvious things in the world, like in this case...
