With all due respect, nobody on this thread, you included, is showing anything tangible. Your charts don't show entries and exits, put there by the platform, and all the stuff volpri is showing, while nice when he shows an entry or two, is hardly conclusive enough. He talks about huge market swings with his analysis, but the trades shown were 1 or 2 ES points, essentially scalps, which is odd when you consider that he is talking about analysis that should net much more than this. Its the classic case of "showing" how easy it is to trade with hindsight charts, but perhaps trading it much differently when actual money is on the line. (plus lets not forget that he was only showing trades that worked when in a slowly trending/grinding market) As far as I'm concerned, for the sake of transparency, everyone is in the same boat as surf.
Very observant. Big difference is that Mr surf is not hiding behind a nick, and has made all of his private details public. This means he is a serious individual when it comes to trading/investing. His resume backs up his words. His YM calls so far, have been no different as to how MM's operate. People are not silly these days, like back in the pre dot.com era. Mr surf knows this and is only interested in high net worth individuals who can see thru all the crap, and identify a low risk opportunity when they see one. No Risk..No Reward!

praising a gambler as "the greatest speculator" (who shuttered multiple accounts from his losses) proves you're gambling and have no strategy
Obviously you havent read my journal which had its roots in the Surf report to disprove exactly what you've just written. That's the whole thing about this journal, its full of fake news and you encourage that? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/themickeys-journal.307864/
I have read your journal but I'm not sure what you are trying to show off. There aren't any references to specific trades. (ie. entry at X, stop at Y, profit target at Z, or at the very least an exit posted in real time whenever the position is closed) There is literally nothing to go on if you want credit. If its just for yourself, fine, but if you are trying to somehow prove anything, I have no idea what you can prove given that you aren't saying anything really.
I'm not here to argue with small minded and petty individuals. But from your comments you OBVIOUSLY have not read the journal. In your haste all you wish to do is take cheap pot shots. Carry on.
