Surf's Special Situation Journal

I'm going to let you in on a little secret.....my last name is NOT actually Raskolnikov!

Try reading a book NOT related to trading for once!

(after surf reads this, he'll go to google to educate himself)

 

What is really sad is that you've been "trading" since 1990 and, in 2012, are getting involved in a paper trading combine. Think about it.

 

Is the "COMBINE" real or simulated trading?

You're going to day trade, using your "price drivers"?

 

Surf, ya gotta let that shit go. You have a strategy which you believe in. Price drivers. That's cool. Why give a rat's ass about trashing other strategies? Seriously man....if somebody came to me and said that their dog barked buy and sell signals I would say "Great...if that works for ya then go with it".

 

surfer enters the combine. a move that no other naysayer or yaysayer has dared make.....

surfer squashes the dreams of wannabe traders with depressing rhetoric. wish someone would prove him wrong. to give hope to us poor wanna-bee's.

trader forums are filled with those who can talk the talk....

but how many can walk the walk?

the combine will give the answer.

hint: it's probably not the answer anyone wants to hear.

Let us not forget that even legendary internet TA god Anek was exposed as a fraud earlier this year. Truly a shocking revelation. I too wanted to believe.......

 

smurf sock puppet?

 

I am not quit following you on this, it seems there is some past/present frustration between two camps. Am I right? Well, I don't want to join a side of it, as I think people should do what fits them best. I, for one, trade using charts and trendlines and that's about it. Does this make me à TA, guess not for 100%. Charts are not full of indicators, I don't need to wait till it's all in line, but it's still à chart.

As I said earlier on this and another tst thread: count me in for the ET combine and show what I do, I don't care! Problem probably is that I am not the typical basher with lots of posts here on ET, so I don't get any response or invitation. Next to that I am probably not the TA specialist trader that you're looking for...


Forget about my English, I am not native.

 

Where do I get details on this combine thing? I come here on my down time and I have no idea what this is about.

 

I hear there's some competition here? What's the prize and rules?
