But what if he called for strong action and it went up 20 points? He would call that correct too. That's why I will no longer record neutral calls.
come onit.... 85% - 90% of the move was in the morning. down 211 in the morning & 25 in the afternoon. you can call that flat.
I will trust your judgement, but I think let us help Bill. The man has been working hard-- the coin flip did not hard. In addition, he may have thrown a party tonight for being ahead of the coin for the first time in a month or so. Give him a chance to brag tonight... A coin does not need to brag. proposition: give it to him, and put an * next to the score to state that it is the last time you count the neutral, and that he was given one so that he does not come out of the dugg out again in the future, etc..
A third of the calls will be neutral, judge the calls from a traders perspective or you are fired. And neutral calls count or youre fired! RFT, unless you are going to post your calls on ET, STFU! The fact that the record is now over .500 with this piker keeping score is a testament to the accuracy of the mighty "Ball". Rack up a win Beansie, your cred is on the line. If you are stumped on a call poll the ETers. Rennick out
You're the one whose cred is on the line. You can't say that a call is both weak and flat, like you did for your PM call today. I'm openly stating that my records will now only be for strong and weak calls, no neutrals. Nothing wrong with that. Try to fire me if you want, you never hired me in the first place. But you are free to post your record if you don't want me to. You've already shown that you do keep track.
Flat is often the best call to make since it also means don't trade. Flat is a required forecast since at least 1/3 of the market action will indeed be flat. For Christ's sake will someone please hand contrary a beginners trading manual. I want an accurate record of calls to be kept, not one that has at least a third missing. If u can't do it we will find someone who can. Rennick out
Then I think it should be ignored, as we are trying to determine the ball's accuracy for trade recommendations. Sounds like you want to inflate your winning call percentage by 33%. You already said you are keeping track. I remember a few days ago you said you thought it was 7-5. So if you want someone to post the score, why don't you post your own score? What are you afraid of?
