  1. Your statement was false and you should retract it.

    instead you offer a convoluted defense.

    Listening to Alex Jones a little too much??

  2. Those "twin tower looking buildings", aren't those the World Trade Center? I don't live in the city so could you clarify that for me.

  3. I have NO IDEA what you're talking about with the "print."

    I'm talking about this claim of yours:

    I do reach my goal of 3x H-L in ES as a practice.

    I say it's bullshit that you make "3x H-L in ES as a practice." If you can prove that you really do I'll not only retract my statement, I'll admit I'm wrong and apologize.

    So how about taking me up on my offer? Trade ES for a day and have Green audit that day and provide the results. As I said I'll pay for the audit. And one day is a much lower bar than "as a practice" which means that you routinely do it.

  4. Of course we all know these things, 666.

    JH and Profile logic are just colorful, often entertaining characters on the internet.

    It's obvious that many of the claims made now, and those made in the past are patently ridiculous.

    I don't think anyone actually takes them seriously.

  5. Original Statement -

    "Scary guy and he's an agent for the IRS. Very endearing . . . not."

    Scary guy and not endearing . . . both opinions.

    Agent for the IRS - All CPA's are required by law to act as an agent and representative of the IRS when turning over requested tax or financial information to the IRS or governmental agency that they prepared at the request of a taxpayer or corporation.

    You sound more and more like Smurf each time you post.

  8. There's nothing mistaken about my backtesting. My results are reproducible and verifiable.

    I tested buying YOUR "0 to 7 turn" (per page 8 of your paper) on 1000 stocks from 2000 to 2005 -- a total of 5000 stock-years -- using spydertrader's code for the scoring and exiting 5 days later and got the equity curve below.

    I know.. just tried to lower the threshold and increase the temptation by giving suggesting 10:1 odds. That way there is no excuse?

    Another offer would be: either win the whole trade amount or- if proven wrong- agree to not post on ET again, and have your IP adress permanently banned.
    Of course, this might be inflicting some brain damage on others who now have to endure the negative energy previously absorbed by ET.

    Come on now... no financial risk... nothing to lose... a lot to win...
