TA works great, it's just you that's broken surfer. And your Price Drivers calls in January ? They sucked! Your timing is horrendous, not so hard to get good accuracy when stops are large and you add to losers, why you think avegaging down is appealing in the first place genius? Who's the dumbass paying for that crap? So now it's not just one but two embarrasing statements from your part. 1) Thinking TA is useless, big mistake, big ignorance. 2) Thinking your PD are anything special. and why the hell do users spend so much time taking you serious, good God.
Unfortunately most people don't blame themselves. They rationalize their failure in many ways, but usually not face the reality, which is: their methods are flawed, because they never invested enough time and efforts into serious research and experience.
I believe in TA because I make it work. I don't believe in surf's Price Driver theory because they have a bad record of not working. In Dec they were terrible and before that they were worse. However as surf says they are a work in progress. Jan results were much better if you exclude HLF but the lack of control shows they are dangerous and need a lot more testing. For surf to insist TA proves itself over a lengthy period and then say he has outside interest in his PD's that stops him from posting is typical of the bizarre logic surf uses. Anyone who would want to invest in PD's with a full month of positive history must have men in white coats standing beside them. If that was trading results from TA surf would call such interest and performance a joke.
Everyone knows that TA has stopped working very well after 1990 and it is completely ruined after 2008. Anyone not aware of that it is because he is a paper trader or a troll, plain and simple. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-to-know-when-its-time-to-leave-the-party-2013-02-19
I'm no one to listen to - in this game you think for yourself and plot your own course. If the whole world says you can't run a mile in 10 seconds, you have options. Believe it, or not to believe it. If science says the human body will die if it moves faster than 30mph, you can believe it or not. If the smallest possible size is the atom - that's for you to believe. I cut it with TA and I trade with others who cut it every day. Who am I? I'm the same guy as I was last time you asked that question under a different alias. I'll be the same guy in a few years ahead as I was a few years back, while you'll have run and hid many times. But I have to say one good thing about all this TA doesn't work nonsense, it's making me think about what I should do. Can I show a record. Yip I sure can. Will I? Wait and see what happens soon. If I show a record it won't be to please you that's for sure, so I need a really good reason to show exactly what I do, and that's what I need to ponder, and I think I might just have a reason.
I love this thread Why? Because surf and his entourage doesn't believe in TA. Am I going to try and convince him? Nope I just wish there were many more like him.
