So there's your answer: MarketSurfer is the Savior. He delivereth us from evil. He guideth us along the paths of righteousness. All hail MarketSurfer! Blessed be the cheesemakers!
LOL. Happy to see the humor. One guy I challenged sic'd his lawyer on me. Im far from a savior but I am fairly certain I can identify what doesn't work.
And you are the guru who tried out everything that exists, who knows that he and only he knows what works and what doesn't. Even knows what is best for other traders without ever seeing one trade of them or even knowing them. Even the most famous clairvoyant cannot see what surf sees. But even with all his knowledge he was never able to make fortune. He had a few times bad luck.... TA did not work for him, so it cannot work for anybody... I checked today: i live in a real house, and drive a real car. So the money I make with trading is real? Amazing, not? Or am I dreaming now? You told me: please don't make assumptions..... But what is funny is that you told me why I had temporary success and that it was not because of TA. If that is not an assumption. You don't know me, never saw one trade but you know perfectly why I might have made money and you even know that it was not because of TA. You are really a revelation as clairvoyant, nobody can beat you.
It is strange that you know perfectly what does not work, but do you know what does work? And if so, why are you not one of the best moneymakers in the world? I miss something, but I am not the only one I think.
Just because you couldn't make it work for yourself doesn't mean that it can't work for anybody. You need to investigate some new icons.
What were the charges? how can someone have grounds of a lawsuit just because someone on an internet site doesn't believe they are a good trader?
Just a standard case of age-inappropriate egocentrism in my opinion. Even if his motivation is to protect people from what he sees as fraud or lies, which is quite possible, it's clear to individuals with a more developed perspective that people like this have difficulty differentiating objective reality, or at least leaving themselves open to possible realities, beyond their own thoughts and experiences. Perhaps surf even realizes this and is purposefully projecting this specific persona in order to meet some psychological or emotional need. Who knows? Regardless, logical arguments or reasonable conversation isn't going to accomplish much because he either cannot or will not even attempt to critically analyze the inputs he is receiving from a relatively un-biased perspective. I don't think he's a bad guy nor is any of this meant to be demeaning in any way; I think some people are just this way either by nature or occasionally individuals fall into certain environments which shield them from the need to develop a more humble and considerate perspective towards those around them.
By all means, please present evidence of successful traders who trade in the manner described by DB and the other price action only traders. I have searched the world for years to find this evidence and have come up empty handed. Perhaps you have the answer with the evidence that goes against 99% of all academic research and EVERY truly successful market participant I am familiar with. I am waiting..... PS-- You mention objective reality--- do you really think internet claims are objective reality? I am failing to see your point. peace surf
