The Surf-fest will do, and he has invited me and MyGirl to it. So I am quite happy with that. I think Surf is a true gladiator, and I have no problem with that. Some will question his ethics, but in business and war there is only one goal. To win. If you not a natural warrior, that will be difficult to grasp. Edit: Not directed at you Fireplace. I follow you also.
He can check it. He can test it. He can prove to himself it works. He can't hack it. He could duplicate it but it would take him 5 years to figure it out even if all of his quant and heavy math people helped him. Thanks for your concern though.
You'll get no argument from me by pointing out the obvious presence of all manner of scam artists surrounding the markets, and oozing out of every nook and cranny. The markets are the refuge for liars, cheats, and thieves, as well as astute traders. You have grossly underestimated, however, the amount of dumb money trading in the market casinos! Technical analysis works fine for me. I am grateful for those who think as you but also trade, or try to. Without you and your ilk we traders would have far fewer to take the other side of our bets.
I agree RCG, and I see Mktsurfer as having great strength in what he does. My only gripe is he likes to interject and show some of that strength in an arena that he doesn't know very well. I may come off a certain way when it comes to day trading, but that's only because it's an area that I know well because I have a lot of experience. I wouldn't speak definitively about swing trading or investing or something completely outside of my niche because I realize that my knowledge is limited. Either way, regardless of Surfs attitude sometimes, I wish him only the best. P.S. ISM!
I will just say it is personal. Is it smart? Probably not but I want the satisfaction of proving to him there ia some TA that works. I do agree with you though.
I just think that is a small and momentary payoff at best and a large risk to your IP and the edge itself at worst. At the very least, lock it all down with an iron-clad NDA. Not a day ago he was sneering in delight at Covel's attempt to better himself by naming and mocking you in his own book. These are small people whose need to be seen as great authorities comes from some deep-seated lack in their own characters. I recognize it's a personal insult to be openly mocked by an ostensible "public figure" like Covel, but don't give them access to your work and thereby stoop to justify their behavior. If it helps, just the way you've expressed yourself here I think is convincing enough to disinterested observers.
What is up with the gonzo hate vibe, dude? You are totally out of line and out of control. That tape "was" extremely rare when I sold copies of my original for $500 plus-- big deal---- how dare you make unfounded allegations and suggestions of my intentions regarding anything Must be nice to toss crap from behind an alias-- but I have a good idea who I am dealing with. surf
