Excellent points, Old Yella. However, my mission is not to discourage trading or anyone's dreams-- quite the contrary. I love the markets and the opportunity there. My mission is to make sure Noobs and others don't go down the wrong road, like i did, with technical analysis. There are many ways to make money from the market, TA makes no sense common or otherwise. TA makes trading look super easy, what could be easier than following a line or an indicator? It's the lazy man's way to riches! Just look at the chart! TRUTH is TA does not work, its based on illusions that build delusions. Obviously, I am not talking about TA as an illustrative tool, for which it is excellent. I am talking about objective TA as a complete and strict way to make trading decisions--- that doesn't work. I WANT SOMEONE TO PROVE ME WRONG and ALL I GET ARE EXCUSES< THREATS< REASONS WHY NOT TO DO IT. Now, there is a chance for the TA god's themselves to prove me wrong about their method, in a fully transparent and public trading challenge known as the combine. See info here:www.topsteptrader.com and the various threads on elite trader about it. I am participating, I may blow out, I don't know that's trading. However, the TA gods like NoDoji, Xspurt, and the others have excuse after excuse why they can't do it. One even wants to get PAID to do it!! How sad is that? Can't take a break from trading, things are soooo tight! OR Can't trade simultaneously on both platforms only the best set ups in 10 out of 30 days. They, the TA brigade, doesn't even have the confidence to try to prove me wrong. I want to believe, I want TA to make money. Unfortunately, and sadly it doesn't. Looks like these guys took a lesson from ANEK and dicided its best just to keep the rhetoric up rather than risk it in a contest surf
I challenge you or any TA trader to the combine starting Monday, or whenever you are ready. What's your excuse? NOT ONE OF THE TA BRIGADE IS PARTICIPATING! http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=249489 Do you want paid to take the challenge? LOL! someone actually requested this. Do you think its rigged? I have heard every excuse not to do it. All ridiculous and weak. I could totally blow out, I am not afraid, because that's trading. Unfortunately, the TA brigade can't handle losses or the thought of such-- so they will never expose themselves to that potential. RIDICULOUS! surf
Will read all that over the weekend. This might be a shocker, but not every TA trader is hanging on to every word you write Never saw this. Why not post a TA challenge thread to get attention to surf's challenge?
It's like reading a book. Can someone summarize it? I thought it was some prop shop training or something when I glanced at it. I get server error on the scouting criteria link. Anyone else able to read that?
Nothing to lose, its all upside with the possible funding and exposure of your great TA ability-- who knows, outperform this contest--not only will you PROVE ME WRONG and GET ME TO STFU about TA being nonsense, you may get noticed by the right people and be managing a huge fund in a couple years. I am talking about TA big talkers in general-- I don't read your posts but I don't think you are in this category, Lucrum. surf
There are people that already post real money profitable blotters on here generated by technical trading and you want them to concentrate on paper trading ? I'm sure if you would be willing to put up the right amount of money someone on here would take your bet if proof is really what you want
