A definition is a straw man? Now I have heard everything! For those following along and not fully understanding the gonzo surfer hate vibe--- in addition to the things listed earlier, the truth is, after turning against most forms of untested TA, the TA cult launched their Vatican commandos to silence the heretic who fell away from the flock. Totally twisted. On my way brown trout fishing in Northern Quebec, see you later! Surf
To see months ahead looking at a 15 min chart when a 15 min chart can not even see hours ahead is very interesting by itself, again borderline insanity. When I first saw the chart I was thinking that smurf posted it as a joke to take a shot at TA traders. Then I realized that he was actually posting that chart as his own calling a gold top. I could not stop laughing. It made my night! In the spirit of that previous Post April 1st 2008. It would have been a very good April Fools day joke. Thanks Surf
Absolutely. Now Rodney, it'd be disingenuous to raise that and not agree with it yourself. Oddly hypocritical that you do not, as your operation requires you and surf to continue trawling ET for fish.
A strawman takes the form of a self-serving definition (or argument) to be easily taken down. You may have heard everything, but were you actually listening? Enjoy the reunion.
Agreed. Will try and take the trend following discussion here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=222560
