  1. Check the time stamps of Jack's posts for the last 2 weeks.. every major move that took place in the market saw Jack drafting and posting a page long rant as it was taking place

    He doesn't trade!

  2. Just for conversations sake, how many trades a day do you think I don't do.

    If I'm an advocate of being in the market all of the time, how much of the day (as a % of RTH) do you think I am dealing with my execution platform?

    If the market is really moving am I doing a lot of trades?

    If the market is moving very slowly am I doing a lot of trades.

    If the market pace is below medium am I doing a lot of trades?

    When would I be doing the most frequent trades (clue: when did you screw up SPM the most)?

  3. Jack, let's take these one at a time...

    1) You claim: "I do reach my goal of 3x H-L in ES as a practice."

    Yet your documented performance in a trading contest is -24%. Why don't you just put this to rest once and for all and show us, instead of ignoring this or replying with a long winded obfuscation? Answer: you would if you could but you won't because you can't. This is so obvious.

    2) My backtesting was correct, given what I tested which is what you provided (attached at the link below). However, you and your followers have continuously tried to smear my work by adding conditions after-the-fact which weren't in the original document. Give it a rest. ANYONE who checks what I did can easily replicate the results. I've addressed this MANY times. Here it is yet again:

    3) Merrill Lynch "coattail" traded you on a national basis? ROTFLMAO!!! Just who do you think you're fooling?

  4. HEY!

    Maybe you guys should leave the Jack Hershey crowd alone ... there are a lot more fucktards over on the ES Journal thread than the Hershey crowd ever had..

    I put my foot in their ass all day today, and man was it fun! :p :D :D

    Not that I'm trying to stick up for Jack or anything (even though I do trade channels ... and support/resistance don't really mean crap to me ... and I do like their discipline). :)

    It's just fresh meat, that's all I'msay'in, it's just fresh meat (they lie through the fuck'in teeth over there too, you know). :eek: :p

    my proggie took 844 points off the dow scalping in a 150 pt range, with the dow finishing flat for the day...crazy day for sure and doubt I could have done it manually.

    best, HPT.

  8. Only absolute children like yourself are sucked into claims of 3 times the daily range without ever having a loss and always in.. your wallet will be the ultimate teacher of trading reality
