  1. You're the brainiac . . . look it up.
    Why don't you try applying for a "Stupid" patent if that is the case. You would surely get it, right. Anything can be applied for, right?

  2. Is the patented material included in the upcoming "Labeling Program - For Release JULY 1, 2010"?

  3. Was my coloring of the altered text not blatant enough for you? In any event, you can't argue the accuracy part.

    And yes, do teach me all about bad form. I have so much to learn and you have so much to give.

    The question remains: are you net positive yet? Do you even know? And how is this an inappropriate question of a chest-thumping "trader/journalist" as it relates to his actual trading journal? (I do hope that Covel prominently covers your antics here at ET in at least one of his upcoming two books, and preferably both.)

  4. I am merely the messenger for the <I>surf system</I>. Whether or not you are net positive by using the uncannily accurate calls is up to you. My results have no relevance to you whatsoever--- you own success with the system is the only thing that matters.

  5. Not a very good one if you can't or are unwilling to provide aggregate numbers. Why would a reader do your own homework for you? Again: do you not even know if you are net positive? And if you are, why is it so astonishingly difficult for you to provide cumulative numbers? Isn't record keeping one of the purposes of a journal? And if so, what makes it so prohibitively difficult for you to relay numbers that should be readily evident in your account statement. Assuming, of course, that there actually is an account statement. Please advise.
    Very true. But I should think that they would be relevant to you, and that aggregate numbers would provide you, and all the misguided people who follow you, with meaningful feedback. The question remains: why would you leave out this very pertinent information that should be at your very fingertips from your surf groupies? Do you think you'll ever get around to answering this question? (Personally, I'm no longer very hopeful.)

  6. It likely took too much computing power to "label" charts. Idea scrapped?

  7. No, you are mistaken and regrettably totally misinformed. The public journal is to track th success and failure of th various surf systems. Surf systems attempt to forecast market direction before the fact therefore these calls are posted in public. Cumulative numbers or any numbers at all regarding my account size, exact profits and losses and other personal information is just that personal.

    I know you are use to socialist worker party meetings in your comrades RV where everything is shared.

  8. Let's see if I understand correctly. You make your calls and give either specific or general entry and exit timing, along with the number of contracts, and yet the aggregate performance information somehow still remains personal? How exactly does that work?
    And yet you are the one sharing your journal, such as it is. Ironic, wouldn't you say?

  9. Well I guess you could reverse engineer the trades and come up with a reasonable estimate sans commission and fees. If you feel this is relevant, feel free to keep a running tally of success and failure. It doesn't interest me to post the data directly due o the earlier explanation.

  10. Upcoming . . . 2010?

    You still got that toliet paper handy don't you?
