I just read this thread prior to logging on and happened to catch Jack/Grob's vitriolic posts. Usually I'm spared Jack's nonsensical ramblings through the 'ignore' feature Baron put in but this time I actually read his words. And I wanted to thank Jack/Grob109 for forever removing doubt that he is a sick, lonely old man just looking for attention to relieve his lack of selfesteem and accomplishment. No successful person that I know speaks that way. And I'm referring to not just the way you spoke to me - someone who openly challenges you to put up or shut up (show us trades with entry, stop loss and exits) - but to people who want to believe against better judgement that you have something of value to offer. And Jack/Grob109/Grob106, whatever you call yourself these days to get around banning, if you'd like to see the most recent way that I've contributed to ET take a gander at the Journal I started. It offers the antithesis to the shyte you traffic. I would ask the moderators and Baron to once again ban this slapnut. I know he doesn't get that he can't just come on and hurl insults at people. I know that he doesn't get it that he's not wanted here because he's not a constructive part of the community but he needs to be banned...again and again until it sinks into his shrivelled brain.
This is absolutely amazing. Why on earth cant you people just go on about your business and leave us alone? I have absolutely no problem with anybody who disagrees with the content of this thread or the sanity of Jack or the feasability of sct or anything else that we are discussing. Are you God that it is your responsibilty to save the masses from Jack? Are the masses too dumb to decide on their own without your advice? Is Barron too dumb to know whats going on? Stay tuned.
We do not deal in the "might" realm. That is speculative lingo. Your response suggests that volume is an uncomfortable variable for you to integrate. This is understandable. Considering new aspects can be uncomfortable. "how much higher would the market have to go until you got that 3 rd point". A VOLUME answer again!!! You need VOLUME to push markets higher, and you need VOLUME to push markets lower. Think of a book on a carpet floor. You push the book and it moves a distance y. Once it moves the distance y, the book is stuck there, in other words the price bar is stuck at it's vertical position. For it to come back to the same position, it has to be pushed backed to the prior position. Why do you know it won't make it back farther than it started, because the volume pushing it back is less than the volume that pushed it there. To be specific, the book is being pushed back with less and less pressure (decr volume). VOLUME! Retracement trading is interesting. I would ask them why are they on the retracement as opposed to the traverse. The length of the traverse is longer than the retrace. You can pull up the nearly 3 dozen annotations that I have posted just in this thread and run the comparisons of the traverse and retrace. This is important stuff, not speculative. I understand how it can be tough stuff, since my initial trading began on your zone. PREY... This is interesting that you have been able to label me. I am thankful that misfortune of being prey is double digit points. How about putting up some charts and contributing as opposed to hindering... I am glad that you "really know how to trade the minis". If you have been at my stage before, then why are you asking about 1/2/3/4 tick stops? At my stage, stops are unnecessary. So you have missed my picture posts some pages back... Did you scroll to the right on that pic. Did you see 98 certain points for that day??? That is nearly 400 ticks... It is simple math. Did you see the 18 points per contract to the right of that??? Did you put the logic together? You think it is luck when in fact it is knowing what is happening. Grob in another thread "handled" me on aspect on how to ask myself the tougher Q's. The results was the 98 you see in the attachment that is the solution to any R/R > 0. It's limitation is a capital Q (HTMMIS mistake), and market liquidity. Luck is for lotto players. How about strolling down the possibilities lane? MAK!
64 pages? Oh there's way more than that attempting to unravel the pathetic ramblings of Jack. Look on ET and you'll find hundreds of pages and more elsewhere on the net. That is actually an indictment of his utter failure. I mean, after all the voluminous discussion threads no one can say wtf he's talking about! In the meanwhile, in one post I explained CM's dummies plays so clearly that everyone understood it and can play it. easyrider, ever heard of quality over quantity? Let me put it in a way you can grasp easier: you can have all the crack whores in the world. Just give me Adriana Lima.
Curious why you picked Trading for Dummies as a header. Self fulfilling prophecy? I would be willing to bet that the longest threads on this forum are connected with Jack. Wonder why? You say you cannot understand Jack. Some of us say we can. Whos right? Only one way to find out.
Quite the opposite has happened. All his aliases have been "unbanned". ET is starting to "get it". MAK!
I picked that name because that's what "Chairman Mao" (the pseudonym of the blogger/trader who first put them forward) calls them. Ad hominem attacks are a sign that one can not marshal any intelligent counter argument. Because simple minded newbies are impressed by his jibba-jabba and think he's got something to offer. They then spend hours and hours trying to decipher his meaningless crap. Then they give up and move on to be replaced by a new crop of newbies. We've already seen him 'mentor' two newbies into the ground. Their journals are part of the archives. I believe their handles were nwbprop and laziz (or close to that).
