    Rcanfiel, alot of the world's greatest traders use technicial analysis, although they use it combined with fundamental analysis.

    Just read Market Wizards.

    Victor Sperandeo says technical analysis doesn't work sometimes because people use it indiscriminately. I think that is the key.

    The stuff obviously works, although it must be used carefully. I think this comes with experience.

    If it doesn't work for you, then great. Don't use it. Jim Rogers doesn't think much of it. However, he's an investor, not a trader. However, I think you're just wasting your time arguing against it.

  2. Well I guess that settles it again. Ratcanfiel has no confidence in his trading t0 PUT UP or SHUT UP & go head to head with me with any money on the line.

    When you grow up and have some capital come back and we will trade and I'll take your money. You don't have the money to shellac your own butt to the seat in your fabric covered box.

  4. And off course Ratcanfiel continues to fabricate comments from make believe individuals like himself.

    I have better things to do than argue with pennyless children about gownup subjects.

  5. Please explain how by agreeing to the challenge only if money is on the line is weaseling out?

    I challeged Ratcanfiel months ago and offered a $50,000 Sotheby's certified Einstein portrait as the prize if he won.
    All he had to do was put up something of like value. He ratted out because doesn't have any money. Now he comes back and wants to challenge me with NOTHING on the line? What is the incentive for me to spend the time SHOWING Ratcanfiel how I trade? Just to embarrass him? He is't worth the sweat off my testicles.

    Then he posts made up fictitious comments from made up individuals that know absolutely nothing about me or how I trade to substantiate his diverted attention from his being destitute. And you agree with him?

    I can now see why some people look up to Hitler, Amin and other physical and cultural rapists.

    How in the world does it appear that Prof Logic weaseled out??

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nobody is paying anyone. Stop trying to throw up flak and distractions. Now please address the Terms and Conditions post so we can get this show on the road. You seem to have glossed over it. I will await your return.

    Wait till the cows come home. If you aren't willing to PUT up some CASH to back up your trash talk . . . SHUT UP and go away.

    I'll trade you head to head in the emini DOW, NASDAQ, S&P, Crude, Russell, or the eGrains. Not a problem here. I just won't do it for free. You will loose.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I am neither a fan nor detractor of Prof Logic,but he clearly has stepped to the plate....Rcan not only has his head shoved up his ass,he apparantly has extra room to do so as he has NO BALLS...

    If I was as certain as RCan that T.A. is pure garbage,and Prof Logic is full of shit,then I would jump at the opportunity to

    A) Prove T.A is garbage

    B) Prove prof Logic is a joke

    C) Take the Jokers money

    D) Prove that Rcans 2% returns(posted by Rcan) with a Negative Sharpe were an "outlier"...

  7. These "fabricated" quotes come straight from past threads. Search on "ProfLogic" using title. Every quote comes from these.

    And I noticed you completely ignore the other comments from past posters.

    You are bailing, because your trading is likely either papertrading or fabricated.

    The reason I went after you with a challenge, is getting a PM from a former student of yours who thinks you are a despiccable cheat after you took $4,000 from him from what he said was a completely worthless seminar.

    There is only one way to prove whether T.A. works and that is CAN IT BE AUTOMATED? Successful use after years of trying implies that something has been added. Probably using the intuitive abilities of the human brain.

  10. exactly. well stated-- however, the p.logics types claim automation, et al yet fail to appear at any and every challenge to this claim.
