I may have missed it, but what happened to Surfs CL trade that was going to be "the trade of the year"???
great, you can represent the NoDoji school of chart reading trading--- what are you waiting for? Congrats for stepping up to the plate, but DO IT, don't keep talking about it. surf
You're moving the target, sport. Until today, it was ANY TA trader and now it's only ~4 of us? LOL. I bet ya Mav has been trading as long if not longer than me. He uses TA right? I don't know for sure, I don't know anything about his trading other than what a few others posted here. If Mav uses TA, then your argument is truly dead. I can go back and find numerous posts where you just ask for ONE TA trader to show a workable method. Why not?... you ask for the 10th time. We'll I'll respond for the 10th and final time. For the truly brain blocked Surf: -No advantage to joining a paper trading game, I do not NEED any funding nor do I want ANY recognition in any way. All I care about is my trading and consistently extracting money from the market. Unlike you, I do not feed off of recognition, nor do I need to wine and dine on fancy yachts rubbing elbows with others in the industry. I have my friends and family, that's enough for me.
First, I don't believe Mav makes trading decisions based on TA. Secondly the challenge is to the TA braggards, even suttle ones here on elite. I say YOU CAN"T TRADE, and you refuse to prove you can, so what can i conclude? All you say is well and good, but why post on Elite Trader at all then? There seems to be a disconnect. You remain anonymous on the combine, it costs nothing or next to nothing, and you have claims to prove. But if you don't want to do it, that's cool also. Just don't make claims or suggestion like "consistently extracting money" " i need 50k in opp costs to participate, ND" LOL ! surf
My "claims" that I've been trading since 1998 and trade using proprietary TA and am consistent in my trading are hardly unique. I've never once mentioned the $ figure I avg per day. Why don't you let Mav say what he uses to make his trading decisions. If he trades using TA, what then? Oh and I post here under a "handle" and I do so because I am not ALWAYS trading. I must be here to read my signals and only then do I make trades. 6 1/2 hrs is a long time. I only trade between 2-6 times per day
I have no clue if Mav is a succesful trader or not--- If he passes the Combine, and says he uses TA chart reading exclusively for his trading decisions, I'll believe him and re evaluate my position---- HOWEVER, I don't think he does. surf
TA is more than just chart reading you know. Any analysis involving past price, as per your post recently defining TA. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. Hopefully he says one way or another.
I am primarily speaking of the NoDoji style of chart reading TA with my criticism. Just so we are clear. Hence my challenge to the TA brigade on the surf report who are chart readers to compete with me on the Combine. someone named Little Bit volunteered, but nothing has happened so far. sounds good. surf
Unfortunately I do not trade TA the same as Nodoji. My style is way more simplistic. The combine is for futures only, I believe. But I'm sure you could come up with other ways to follow a TA trader. You can even sit side by side. Would be fun! Funny how "simple" works.
Now it's about "style"? So you are now admitting that TA works overall, just not her particular style? Ok, cool, we've made progress with you
