For someone who has such strong opinions about TA and other topics, you certainly care a lot about what people here think and do in terms of their trading. Perhaps you learned not to have such a closed mind about things?
There is too much belief, conjecture, and opinions on what people actually do. It is interesting to see what people actually do in hard numbers, rather than guessing.
RC, It appears that you have generated many "POLL" threads in the recent past. Will you be posting a consolidated list of the findings, or are these random ideas?
Plan to continue until run out of useful dimensions about trading. If a poll asks "what kind of pet do you have?" - then it will be time to stop. The trick is, to come up with relevant choices that help define what people do. Polls that ask "are you profitable or not" seem way too broad.
'Fixed stops - variable, based on something like ATR' Can somebody please enlighten me how a fixed stop can be variable?
