  2. +1

    Not a troll in the ET sense of the word, merely trolling to exploit other peoples ideas and most likely present as his own...

    +1 on ignore, no desire to feed the "Fish"

  3. I would love to find an ET trader/ fund with a real edge. We all would make money--- no need to "knock off" someone's edge -- most of the stuff we invest in cant be replicated easily.

  6. I already make money. Why do I need you? I have all the capital I need to trade my intra-day system. Maybe I could have used your services back in 1999/2000 when I was still more or less a rook but not anymore.
    The irony is back then my system was fall less tested and I'm sure you would have passed on funding it but now that it's been working since then, I'm sure you would be interested in taking a look while I'm not at all interested in what you have to offer, LOL.

  7. Technical analysis gives gamblers the incentive to bet their house on three outcomes loss/breakeven/profit.

    After 9 reds in a casino .the TREND of xpert , is RED ....BET THE HOUSE ON SHORTS ,that is t/a

  8. Great --- for myself and most others who do what I do, just the suggestion that TA is used for an edge is immediate grounds to dismiss the program without wasting anyone's time. I am happy we are in agreement on this.

  9. I like this response, however there are not an INFINITE expanse of outcomes, the market is finite math and therefore more likely knowable, the future distributions of returns is what the shouting is all about, peace.

  10. Oh really? Because just a few days ago you wanted to meet Hoodooman with your quant and discuss his method in detail. His system is TA based. He trades using his proprietary TA.

    "Hey Hoodoo,

    Long time no talk. Been watching your system results closely, looks sweet so far. You going to be at VN's in October? would like to chat about your work, with our quants in tow--- Thanks, Surf"



    So the statement below concerning TA as immediate grounds for program dismissal is completely false. Can't you keep your facts straight?
