Yeah, I tried the experiment. Tried it only a handful of times actually. For 5 years I avg only 128K/year trading stocks and wasnt getting better. It DID actually help me hold a few winners longer but the long term downside was too great. Back to you though, why dont you stop bitching about live trades. You're not going to get it from these guys, you're not worth their time and energy. Grow a set of your own and trade for yourself.
This shows anyone with an open mind everything they need to know about Jack Hershey's "methods" and his toady apple-polishers. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1402625#post1402625 P.S. Here's one of the analyses that MAK, Hershey apologist, is taking issue with (see linked post and the one immediately under it for the resultant equity curve): http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1173756&highlight=snack#post1173756
You obviously didnt read my posts but thats ok, you tend to only SEE what you want to anyways. Probably why you cant comprehend the JH method
I have not been trading it long, however I did sit with someone for the day and watched them trade SCT and he made a little over 12K for the day. I felt bad because I was distracting him I'm sure but he said he didnt mind. So, I know it works in the hands of someone who knows the method well.
NOW, NOW (ie. pun intended, haha)! Tell the whole story T6. Your EQ curve, and this EQ curve. Your EQ curve was based on conditions that are mentioned in a T6 recap here which furthur down specifies the conditions that produce a positive EQ curve. The whole story mon ami, the whole story. HAHA... AHA "to the bank, to the bank"... HMMM!
And after travelling for 3 hours to this trader's residence and then spending the entire day watching him trade, did you ever manage to follow up after you returned home to obtain his contact information (i.e., telephone number or e-mail address)? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1387017#post1387017
Yes, he re-enabled his PM and we have since exchanged formal email addresses. Now we communicate through there rather than here.
That is comforting to know. It would have been quite an ordeal for you to have to drive for 3 hours all the way back to his place to ask him for his phone number or e-mail address. How unfortunate that neither of you thought to exchange any such contact information at all before you actually embarked on your 3-hour journey. I'm just glad it all worked out.
