Looks to me like you will soon have big money all on your own as you have at least made calls in real time not after the fact like some.
...or none at all... Man, I just love looking at anybody's charts. Granted, a method can be reverse engineered in a crude way by looking at a posted chart or even just a post that shows product and time of entry. But why bother stealing if you already have a method. Here's a fresh example from today courtesy of TrailorParkTed, E.G. - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...t-right-here-baby.343012/page-20#post-5660098 Here's all there is to it. An intrepid trader researcher can load up that product and apply their own dang setups to see what's up. Here's why, when there's ACTION, more than one method works. When there's NO ACTION, there's No Action by a trader. Pretty simple. So anyone kind enough to simply post a time of entry can give a head's up that At Time X on Product Y, this person had a "Happy Ending" lol. It is consistent as hell, when one method works, others will too, on various timeframes. Well, curious traders want to know, "I wonder what my setups were telling me at that point in time. The number of people that have Tested Setup/Triggers is miniscule from the percent on ET that have stated that they are rules based traders. Artistic traders that try to Steal wmw's method will have a hell of a time of it and if the system is that fragile, then ya better get that shit underway if you gonne "Sell It", and good luck. Price Action Has No Secrets, so posting charts is not a problem, hell it is almost an advertisement to jump aboard, the more the merrier. All Aboard, lol. Steal away if ya got what it takes, and it ain't rocket science. Everybody wants to to be complicated Artists. Got 10 years? See ya later.
Why do say that easymon? wm has made some pretty good calls and if he was really taking the positions he was calling then there should be good profits.
OK, OK, Easymon, I take your bait and will show a 5 minute chart and post my trades of today. This also "shows SML the Money" and shows "Angry Trader" and the OP that TA does work. Not sure what you mean by stealing as wm just talks in generalities and MacBook knows the future so there is no way to steal from either of them. I am trading a 13K Cash Account as a "Hobby" I did not trade well today as I did not maximize the early drawdown and went with SPY but I still made 3.843% on the day. Let's analyze the 12:27 entry and 12:38 Close trade. There was early morning resistance from 8:55 to 9:50 at the 4240-4242 area. From 11:35 to 12:10 it tested this "event area" really hard but backed off. It started to drop and when it had a couple of closes below the mean it looked like it had the momentum to test the 4225 early morning low where I was going to take my profit. However buyers stepped in at the 11:05 and 11:10 bar lows and made that the support area. As that support held, I took my profit. A good trade as I played it well and the trade demonstrates TA in multiple ways.
Imagine if you had the foresight to bet down around 9:44 and sell around 11:14...all in one trade wave, not many tiny scalping bets. And do this every day. You would be rich. It's all there for the taking, and understanding and discovery. A lot of traders are casually playing blackjack for fun. While they should, instead, be mastering card counting, per se. Understanding the overall image and dynamics on a deeper, complex level....instead of simply tracing surface lines like a child. Hindsight technical analysis is completely meaningless. Everything goes as expected, until deviations occur...which happens quite often. Then you are back to square one, at a loss, at that point with a confused, stupid, look on your face. A trader needs to understand the market on a deeper level, as to why things generally move the way that they do -- Before they do, foresight. Will the market be up, to what extent or degree.....will the market be around flat....will the market go down, to what extent or degree or range are you expecting it to, You can't hunt for the kill if you don't reasonably know what to expect for, assume for and position for. The signs could be right in front of your eyes, but it doesn't register with you because you haven't established a greater framework image ahead in a micro and macro scale. God and the Devil are in the details,
Did you try your method by yourself? I bet you never tried it. Or you would find it is not going to work.
Image if you had the foresight to pick power ball numbers every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday before 10 pm ET. Within few years you would be richest man ever lived in this earth.
OK, I showed my trades for the day and it was a good day despite trading some noise after the initial big move down. In fact if I could compound the 3.8%, my 13K would be 1 million in 112 trading days. Here is my challenge to you MacBook: You have cited your one trade a day entry and exit times on several occasions now. Show just one screenshot (with the same info that I provided) from your trading platform or broker reports that proves you actually made the trade. JUST ONE!!! If you can't or won't do that then you have zero credibility with me going forward.
