    You have stated multiple times that you served in the military but are unwilling to provide any information on the branch or top level unit. Most people do not believe your claims about previous military service.

  6. I simply interpret the guy's writing as his interpretation of Wyckoff. DB has told people repeatedly to study Wyckoff themselves but it seems that people have failed to do that and get mad at one guy's interpretation. For instance, Wyckoff didn't use lines outside of trend lines and channels....not even support and resistance lines. The use of lines to measure supply and demand is another guy's tool to implement Wyckoff's principles.

    If people are this concerned, to the point of constantly making these silly threads, they have only to read Wyckoff for themselves and draw their own conclusions through back and forward testing.

    Every time this point comes up, read Wyckoff for yourself. What makes you think his critics haven't read Wyckoff or every other classic TA-book for that matter? The discussion whether it has any value in the modern markets is more than beaten to death. There's a ton of scholarly research on this subject. A few days ago somebody referred to an academic study in one of the guru-threads, of course that is completely ignored by the disciples, cause they don't like the conclusions. As for the attention the guru attracts, if I speak for myself I'm just annoyed to come across the same crap all over this site. If it had some entertainment value it would be ok, but it goes along with a fanatic freaky cult vibe, which makes it offending.

    What is it about people being in a cult that is offending?
