Well, as I expected, I got some sarcastic comments about my change in what I write about.

Well, honestly, I haven't "really" changed. OK, again... some might disagree but I haven't really changed. Well, but it just seems like it. If you haven't noticed, I'm talking subjectively.

So today's rant shall be titled "What's simple for me"

Simple for me is simply more than fluidity. Or more than sense. I take it as the fundamental basis of my existance. OK, OK, I'm being metaphysical, but that's what simple is for me. Simple is a noun rather than an adjective even though it is and adjective. Sorry, enough of all that philosophy...

What is simple trading???

Answer:just trading... I am trading so I am a trader (One who trades)... LOL... sheesh... this again...

I'll write another topic below...

The topic above isn't much of a good journal so I'll write another one. It's called, "Analysis report is not productive"

Well, I thought I should make the title, "Surf Report is worthless... except for a few" Hmmm... there's not much difference but I'll write why I came up with this idea. Now, some will come in and just look at the title and write all these things but please read this till the end because the title in itself isn't the point, it's rather a conclusion. Also, whether marketsurfer likes it or not, "Surf, you're a good friend! (I hope you read the Stan post that got erased)"

First, surf report doesn't help a "trader". This really comes to the point of how you define a trader and based on my point of what it is, it doesn't help. As I wrote above, a trader is a person who trades. The "PERSON" trades according to it's own basis of self. Taking surf's numbers are really not helping a trader because the numbers don't actually make the "PERSON" trade well...

But... does it help, generally? Yes. It helps me and a few. But in a different level. As you know, I've been trying to figure how he get's his number. That's a mind of self-improvement, not a mind of reliance, I don't trade based on his numbers, too. It's only worth to Gann traders(or enthusiasts) who are willing to take a further step into getting better, as an analyst.... Again, AS AN GANN ANALYST. It's that attitude that's important, well at least for me.

So personally, I think it's more better for the people to read it and not trade based on it. Sure, it will help you make money but is it really good in the long run? I don't think so...

Just imagine how you would trade without the report or without other analyst's service... or even without any indicators you use to trade. I think it shows how you really trade and what you should really work on... So Gann is BS...

I used surf report as an example because it's in ET but I have no sense of joke or beef with surf on this post...

Your obsession with surf just continues to point to your mental illness.

You are one sick motherfucker.

Get some professional help.

Are you saying life can give a man some fish... and he will eat for only a day or two.... while another path or source will teach a man how to fish... and once mastered, he will eat well for his entire life?!

Is that your drift.... o' metaphysical one?!

iceman

I've read some of the posts here. I think it's interesting to see how people react to certain opinions. I totally agree that you really have to find your own methodology. I have seen so many wannbe traders that have no experience getting fired in a couple of weeks to a month. I've recognized that these goner's all tried to duplicate a successful person's methodology. Most of them start trading without a methodology. They see a trader making $300,000 a month. They ask the trader how he can trade so well and the trader explains the method. The newbie tries to duplicate the method but never get's close to the successful traders records. Soon..... he's fired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen this happen to over 50 newbie traders in 3 month.

If you wanna be one of them...... KEEP FOLLOWING and the market will cut your throat...

Well.........Follow the market and not the traders. You trade the MARKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck!!!!
