    I dunno man, I'm trying to help you out on your legitimate return to ET. It's apparently a hard lesson and I feel like I'm kicking a puppy. I'll leave you be after this.

    When trying to harness the trading community's interest for $, try to think about the people on the left side of the spectrum and what they'd consider best practices for business.

    Would you mock people, create fluff posts, hunt down critics to harass them, truckle used car salesmen, promise secrets to vast wealth, or red-bait? Or would you just create a good product and sell it?

    Alternately, memorize this aphorism: WWM74D? [What would Maverick74 do?]

    j/k :D

    Covel,
    Could you provide some literature on Larry Hite??
    And have you ever met Ed Seykota??To my knowledge he is an avid trendfollower.(www.tradingtribe.com)

    Also if its not too much to ask, could you list the interviewees in your upcoming book?

    Hite is in my new book. Seykota was in my first book. Spent time with both.

    'Roster' of new book coming soon...

  7. Seykota is on record stating trends do not exist and make no sense to follow.

    You are partly there!

    Seykota, not unlike every trend follower starting out, owes a debt of gratitude to Donchian for laying out "ways to define, compute and use trends."

    One mistake I see? Fixating on the term trend following. Different people call it different things, but they are all running in parallel regardless.

  9. Unbelievably, I agree with Seykota--Except for his last sentence that I have not seen previously-heaven help me!!

    Trend following research on stocks.
    If I wanted to conduct similar research myself say on a platform such as multicharts, where can I acquire the data for a few decades including the delisted stocks??
